PSA Security Network announced that it will be expanding its market footprint to include the professional audio-visual and communications market. The market expansion will offer qualified systems integrators in the professional audio-visual/communications and physical security industries access to more than 170 industry-leading product lines through PSA Security Network.
“We are seeing more and more cross-over between the physical security and the audio-visual market on a daily basis,” said Bill Bozeman, president and CEO of PSA Security Network. “The decision for us to expand our product offerings and begin offering the same value-add programmes and services to the A/V market that we have offered to the security market for over forty years was a natural evolution for our company.”
