Not Your Parents’ Muzak
Last week, 15 technicians from a company you might normally associate with elevator music descended on InfoComm University™ for three days of intensive training. Yes, Muzak also handles pro-AV design and integration, from sound systems to digital signage, but John Jelinek, the company’s operations training manager, understands you may not know that. “Muzak has been doing it awhile, but we’re pushing even more into pro-AV sales,” he says. To that end, the Fort Mill, S.C.-based company flew in techs from all over the country to train for their CTS®-I certifications. Most are already CTS holders (Muzak even has CTS-Ds on its roster), but to drive new business and offer a higher level of commissioning, Jelinek says the company wanted the expertise that comes with CTS-I. “And we like what InfoComm’s been doing with standards,” he says. “We’re looking to incorporate those more.”
InfoComm Launches U.K. Task Force

Members of the task force serve one year and include a diverse mix of industry professionals, including integrators, distributors, manufacturers, end users and consultants. Frank Sheehan, Director of Technology at independent media and technology consultancy Visual Acuity, will chair the task force.
