Does your technology not working put you on the ledge? Ready to jump? Your day has now been disrupted and you need to find calm in the technology service storm. Just when you least expect an issue to pop up, you can expect it.

There are hundreds of manufacturers with thousands of different products and they all need to play nice in the sandbox. There are dozens of services being used simultaneously with all these wonderful products. One of the products or services acts up and your entire system could be down just when you need it the most.

Home is certainly where the heart is, but if the home itself were alive, have you thought about its heart health? The home network is the circulatory system that supplies your Audio Video system and your connected devices with the data that keeps them operating. Rather than having inconsistent service speeds or coverage due to lack of planning, organize and understand your home network so its vital signs stay strong.

If there's one thing we've all learned about projects both personally and professionally, it's that "Good, Fast and Cheap" have an impact one way or the other on the outcome of a project or purchase. We all know this, but we seem to forget this when push comes to shove. I think about this often as our teams are sometimes pushed to try and supply all three. These are usually the projects that falter in expectations from one angle or another to someone. We can't be all three and be successful as a team, as a company or deliver great customer service. The typical premise behind this vicious triangle is:

It’s spring break and the kids are home. You’ve planned on a great staycation—streaming music while having dinner outside, catching up on your favorite series, having family movie nights, and even wowing the kids with your gaming skills.

But on the first Saturday morning, before the bacon even has a chance to fry, the power flickers and you’ve got more than just a startled, barking dog on your hands—your home technology is out of whack. “OK, I can fix this,” you tell the family. “I’ll start by calling … um …” Where do I start?

Texadia Systems and DM Home Entertainment announced today that the companies have executed a definitive merger agreement.

With more and more technology revolving around internet access, homes and businesses are increasingly relying on stronger, more reliable, and constant network coverage. WiFi used to be a luxury, but many of the things we’ve come to expect simply won’t work right without an internet connect - be it a landline or wireless.

This shift has led to an important question:

Should your internet network connection be wireless or wired? Or is a hybrid solution best?

Below we’ll explore the advantages and disadvantages of each option.

After Hurricane Harvey caused widespread destruction along the Texas coast and disastrous flooding in Houston, our team saw that the need for help in our community is great. Many of the people dislocated from these areas have come to North Texas and the Dallas area to stay in shelters or to start over after losing everything.

At Texadia Systems, we believe in giving to our community and helping those in need. So we are proud to announce that we recently sponsored North Texas Giving Day, donating and raising $10,550!

YOU DON'T WANT THE PICTURE PROJECTING BELOW THE LINE OF A CONFERENCE ROOM TABLE OR PEOPLE SQUINTING TO SEE.

Businesses and employers make use of conference rooms for various reasons. These spaces can be the ideal environment for holding meetings, video conferencing with partners and clients around the world, and even training new team members for a connected business.

When it comes to designing a conference room—whether it’s for internal business use or at a hotel or a convention center to be rented for use—several things must be considered to make the room effective.

One of the most pressing concerns is what to do about the display modules in the room. They have to be comfortable enough for people to read from a distance, but they cannot be so large that they overtake the space completely.

Here are some things to consider when finding the right size and height placement for your conference room display.

At Texadia Systems, we strive to use only the best AV equipment available. As a way to show how we do that, we’ve started highlighting some of our biggest and best AV partners, starting last month with Biamp.

The second partner we’d like to introduce you to is SVSi Networked Solutions.

Have you ever struggled to get your audiovisual equipment to work right before a big event or important meeting - only to find that you need to replace a part or that the new part you need doesn’t work with the system you currently have?

At Texadia Systems, we choose to partner with the best AV equipment providers and manufacturers in the industry for both commercial and residential AV solutions. Today, we’ll be highlighting one of our partners: Shure Microphones.

Wireless technology has been part of our everyday lives for years now with innovations like Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV, but it’s been slower to move into the business world.

However, the demand for wireless systems has grown with the implementation of BYOD (bring your own device) for presentations and business meetings.

Last year’s Masters Tournament officially launched the first-ever live broadcast in the very new 4K UHD (ultra-high definition) technology.

As technology continues to improve, work-from-home jobs are becoming much more prevalent and popular. It sounds fun and easy when you’re stuck in a corporate office all day, but working from home can bring it’s own set of challenges.

Here are five tips for creating the perfect home office:
