How Kardium Future-Proofed Their AV System for Mission-Critical Collaboration

When Kardium, a global leader in medical technology, opened its new headquarters in Burnaby, BC, they weren’t just expanding they were building a smarter, more connected workplace where precision and speed are non-negotiable.

In a company where every second counts, outdated AV systems and inconsistent meeting room setups weren’t an option. Kardium needed a solution that was intuitive, scalable, and reliable, and they turned to Evolution AV to make it happen.

The Challenge: AV That Couldn’t Keep Up

Kardium’s team faced several common but costly AV challenges:

  • Inconsistent room setups that confused users and slowed down meetings

  • Delayed support when systems failed, leading to lost productivity

  • Manual file transfers just to present or share content

  • Outdated hardware that couldn’t support hybrid collaboration

These issues weren’t just frustrating, they were barriers to the kind of mission-critical communication Kardium depends on.

The Solution: A Standardized, Scalable AV Ecosystem

Evolution AV designed and installed a comprehensive AV solution across 22 meeting spaces, tailored to each room’s purpose but unified by a consistent user experience.

Key Technologies Deployed:

  • Microsoft Teams Rooms in every space for a seamless, one-touch meeting experience

  • Yealink PTZ tracking cameras for dynamic video coverage in boardrooms and town halls

  • Beamforming ceiling microphones and QSC ceiling speakers for crystal-clear audio

  • Crestron control panels for intuitive room management

  • BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) support via HDMI and wireless casting

  • Cloud-based remote monitoring for fast, proactive support and reduced downtime
