SIGNET CASE STUDY
Boston Medical Center
Challenge
Staff at Boston Medical Center needed a conference room area that could be used as two individual conference rooms or, when combined, as one large space. SIGNET’s technical team was tasked with designing the technological aspects of this complex conference area, integrating the latest technology to meet the hospital’s current and future audio visual needs. Additionally, SIGNET was charged with developing a production system to live stream religious services throughout the hospital from the hospital’s new chapel.
Collaborating with Boston Medical Center, SIGNET developed strategic technology solutions. The engineering team gave careful consideration to issues related to the sightlines of each conference room and added multiple control locations and viewing stations to ensure optimum A/V equipment performance and aesthetics for each room as well as from the combined space perspective. Smaller monitors were added so that when the rooms were combined, the televisions could be resourced. Each room features a Crestron touch-panel system that controls Philips video displays, content source selection, and signal levels for the audio-conferencing aspect.
For the new chapel’s live streaming needs, in addition to installing a camera, microphones and sound system in the chapel, SIGNET used an IP streaming device to integrate their existing video distribution infrastructure and incorporated digital signage for the content.
Patients, visitors and staff now have the option of being able to listen to religious services content being streamed throughout the facility

Audio Visual Technology
We provide site inspections, user needs analysis, CAD drawings, network consulting, and infrastructure design. Representing all major AV equipment manufacturers, our experts select the components for each system based on quality, functionality, and appropriateness to client needs.
AV Installation
Prior to any installation, our experts ensure that all rack-based systems are fully tested and functioning. Our installation process includes shop fabrication, infrastructure preparation, equipment installation, testing, and commissioning. Each installation is performed by technicians trained in the latest AV technologies.
Control System Programming
Focusing on ease-of-use, our programming services include user needs analysis, touch panel design, shop and field testing, and on-site commissioning.
User Training
Our approach includes training of your technical service staff and end-users.
Service
Our service plans protect each client’s investment by providing them with the hardware/software support and training suited to their unique needs. We service almost any brand of audio, video, control, and video conferencing equipment, regardless of installation vendor.

Remote Monitoring
Fully staffed with subject matter experts who understand your technologies, SIGNET Remote Smart is our remote monitoring and managed services center located in Norwell, Massachusetts. Establishing best-in-class services and processes, Remote Smart continuously invests in industry-leading network management tools and automation to ensure quick and accurate resolution for detected anomalies. Remote monitoring enables us to see important details of your operations in real time, which helps prevent, rather than react to, issues long before they happen. Instead of minor issues building up to a business-disrupting problem, our proactive support ensures you won’t lose time and money to technology nightmares.
With our monitoring of your most complex systems, we’ll exceed your expectations and provide you the business results you need.
Our Remote Response Services bundle is the perfect option for those seeking a reactive problem resolution approach. Remote Smart will provide remote support for your technology system components using a secure VPN tunnel, or a secure direct connection, which allows our engineers to gain access to your network and provide a high-level of diagnostic support. Having remote connectivity allows our support center to have the proper access to your network in the case of a network incident or outage. In most cases, incidents can be identified and resolved through remote diagnostics, reducing your overall downtime.
