Outdoor Audio That Actually Endures All Weather 

Are you someone who prefers to purchase high-quality, long-lasting items rather than quick and convenient products that quickly fall apart? 

If that sounds like you, we’re willing to bet you’re a little nervous about investing in new outdoor audio or lighting equipment. Speakers that stay outside permanently—how long can they really last? 

While it may sound hard to believe, Coastal Source’s outdoor hardware is the real deal. We’ve had a very long partnership with Coastal Source and trust that their outdoor audio and lighting can endure even the harshest Texas weather, year after year. 

Collaboration Spaces: What Are They & What Are They Used For?

Conference Rooms & Collaboration Spaces: Two Distinct Concepts 

If your team is still trying to make hybrid work work, or if traditional conference rooms aren’t delivering the results you expect, it may be time to consider a shift.

Search interest in “collaboration space” has nearly quadrupled since 2014, peaking this past summer 2025. But what exactly are these spaces, and how do they differ from the conference rooms most offices already have?

Let’s unpack the meaning, benefits, and use cases of collaboration spaces—and why they’re quickly becoming essential across industries.

What Is a Collaboration Space?

A collaboration space is an environment purpose-built to support idea generation, creativity, and problem-solving with some hybrid communication. Unlike traditional conference rooms that often cater to static presentations, collaboration spaces are interactive and flexible.

These rooms should feature modular, easily-moved furniture, dynamic room layouts, and technology designed to enhance group productivity, whether the team is in-person, remote, or both.

Do You Have to Sacrifice Picture Quality for an Artwork TV?

Not with the Sony BRAVIA + Leon Studio Frame 

If you dislike seeing a clunky black rectangle in your living room, artwork TVs are a dream for design-oriented homeowners like you. When not in use, the artwork TV transforms into a realistic painting or paper photograph on the wall, appearing so lifelike that guests will never know it’s a television. 

Unfortunately, most artwork televisions are great at displaying a matte art canvas, but don’t offer the highest video quality. Many ‘art TVs’ use a commercial display panel that is excellent for static images or low motion, but not ideal for action movies, sports, and games. 

If you want a true home theater experience, a TV like Samsung’s The Frame won’t take you there. Thankfully, there’s an alternative route that provides the best of both worlds: pair a Sony BRAVIA TV with Leon’s Studio Frame. 

Why Access Control Is Non-Negotiable for Your Business

Protect What You’ve Built with Building-Wide Access Control 

What happens when your facility’s entry points aren’t as secure as you think?

In just the last year, several Texas-based businesses and organizations have suffered devastating breaches, each incident underscoring the need for proactive, intelligent access control.

While motives vary, these incidents share one common thread: a lack of sufficient physical access control. A damaged keypad, an unmonitored entry point, or a power outage shouldn’t be a free pass for criminals.
