Atlona, a Panduit company, travels to ISE 2023 next month to celebrate an important company milestone while debuting several product innovations and demos that accentuate the company’s sharpened vertical focus. As the new year dawns, Atlona turns 20 and begins its fourth year in operation under Panduit’s ownership. Both offer compelling insights into how Atlona has evolved over two decades, and how emerging customer needs, industry trends, and Panduit’s AV/IT vision point to Atlona’s future direction.

The Atlona story began 20 years ago inside a Silicon Valley garage as a manufacturer of cables, adapters and video converters sold direct to residential end users. Fast forward to ISE 2011 and Atlona would make its first appearance at ISE introducing digital connectivity solutions to the EMEA market. Since then, ISE has since served as the company’s launchpad for key product lines, including 4K/UHD Extension over HDBaseT in 2015, collaboration systems for soft codec-based conferencing platforms in 2016, IP-based AV control (Velocity™) in 2017, and Wireless BYOD (AT-OME-52W) in 2020.

C2G is providing AV integrators with a solution to the increasing problem created by aging workstations found in hybrid work and education environments in its latest white paper, “Building a Productive Desktop for Hybrid Work and Education.” Written by Legrand AV Technology Evangelist Joseph D.
