A.B.E. Networks

A.B.E. Networks, founded by Avi Benaim, is the premier source for integrated technology systems, boasting a design-centered approach that focuses on current needs and future desires.

What changes from the past year are here to stay?
The demand for robust home-wireless networks grew exponentially this year. Video conferencing, virtual happy hours, multiplying streaming services, smart exercise equipment and other IoT devices will remain.

Explain how entertaining at home will evolve?
Outdoor spaces are the primary location for socially distanced gatherings. Weatherproof TVs, outdoor Wi-Fi access points and landscape audio and lighting systems all transport entertainment outside.

What technologies have become a must at home?
An essential part of expanding the utility of the home is dressing our spaces with light. Motorized window treatments and automated light fixtures can transform a room at the press of a button.
