Axis Communications opens “Space City” experience center

CHELMSFORD, Mass. – Swedish security device manufacturer Axis Communications has recently celebrated the opening of their new “Space” themed experience center in Houston, Texas.

The Houston Axis Experience Center (AEC) will be Axis’ 13^th experience center built in the Americas and follows hot on the heels of the opening of another AEC location opened in Toronto a few weeks prior. The centers are designed to provide interested parties from customers all the way to business leaders the opportunity to get hands on with Axis’ cutting-edge security technology.

 Axis opened their 12^th American center in Atlanta back in May this year in the Pinnacle building overlooking the downtown Atlanta skyline. The Houston center with its deep ties to the space industry is a “Space City” themed experience center. A release from Axis Communications describes the 4,800 square foot building as a “State-of-the-art facility” with features like the “Launch pad”, a large circular truss system that showcases the core suite of Axis’ end-to-end security solutions. That includes their latest innovations in video, audio, access control, and intercom systems working on their AXIS Camera Station software platform.

“As a global company, Axis Communications fully realizes the importance of building relationships at a local level. It’s important to meet customers where they live and work, and to provide them with hands-on opportunities to test the latest technologies that are driving the security market forward,” said Steve Stanberry, Business Area Director, South Central, Axis Communications. “Axis has a long history with the City of Houston and the diverse range of industries it supports, and we are excited to further strengthen our commitment and deepen our roots here with this new AEC opening.”

Axis’ experience centers are a broad effort with their recent Singapore center opening in late September being their 25^th globally. With existing centers in places like New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, San Jose, Washington D.C., Toronto, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo Axis also has plans in the works for several more experience centers to open by the end of the year.

The Houston AEC is located at 750 Town and Country Blvd., Suite 950, in Houston, Texas. Interested parties can learn more or schedule a tour by emailing Houston.AEC@axis.com or learn about your nearest experience center and book tours at  www.axis.com/axis-experience-center.
