Professional Commercial AV Services in GA, FL & AL
Technology That Works the Way Your Team Does
- Bring displays, audio, lighting, shades, and other room technologies together through one intuitive control experience.
- Use personalized presets such as “Presentation,” “Video Call,” or “All Off” to prepare meeting spaces without unnecessary setup delays.
- Create consistent, easy-to-use environments that help employees focus on the meeting rather than troubleshooting technology.
Lighting & Motorized Window Treatments
Create Comfortable, Adaptable Spaces With Coordinated Light Control
- Balance electric light and natural daylight to support meetings, focused work, and everyday use throughout the space.
- Use automated shades to reduce glare, heat gain, and UV exposure while helping maintain comfortable light levels.
- Coordinate lighting and shading scenes with displays, AV, and room-control systems so that spaces respond together rather than operating as separate technologies.
GHT’s broader lighting expertise includes two in-house lighting designers who work alongside architects, builders, and designers and can produce plans, renderings, CAD drawings, and photometrics when the project scope calls for that level of coordination.
Video Conferencing
Make Hybrid Meetings Easier for Everyone in the Room and Everyone Joining Remotely
- Combine cameras, microphones, displays, speakers, and intuitive controls into a conferencing experience that employees can use without having to rebuild the room for every meeting.
- Create consistent presets for video calls, presentations, interviews, and collaborative sessions.
- Support clear communication and real-time content collaboration for both in-office and remote participants.
Wi-Fi
Reliable Wireless Connectivity for the Way Modern Teams Work
- Use enterprise-grade access points, design, and support.
- Plan dependable coverage throughout the property for employees, guests, and connected technologies.
- Support bandwidth-intensive applications, including cloud services, conferencing, and other business-critical systems.
Networking
Build a Reliable Foundation for Every Connected System

- Mitigate security threats with firewalls, encryption, and network security software.
Technology Planned Alongside the Space
Collaboration With Architects, Builders, Designers, and Project Teams
Commercial technology works best when it is coordinated before construction decisions are locked in. GHT works alongside architects, builders, designers, and other project stakeholders to plan displays, speakers, controls, lighting, shading, equipment locations, cabling pathways, and network infrastructure to align with how the space is intended to function.
With system designers and two dedicated lighting designers on staff, GHT can help translate technology requirements into clear plans while respecting the architecture and broader design intent. The goal is not to impose technology on the space, but to make it feel like a natural part of the finished environment.
Experience a Smarter Meeting Space
See Integrated Commercial Technology in Action
Before deciding how your meeting rooms should operate, experience what integrated control feels like in practice. GHT’s Smart Boardroom Demo provides a closer look at how AV, conferencing, and intuitive room control can come together to simplify collaboration.
GHT also uses its Experience Centers to help clients and project partners understand how integrated technology looks, sounds, and feels before decisions are finalized.
Technology Support That Doesn’t Stop at Installation
A Dedicated Service Organization Built for the Long Haul
GHT’s service-first model is designed to keep clients from relying on the same installation technician for every future support need. Each office has its own Service Director and technicians whose primary responsibility is supporting existing clients.
GHT provides 24/7 on-call technician availability and maintains a 12–24-hour callback commitment for service requests. The proprietary GHT App provides a central place to submit and track support needs so requests do not disappear into a queue.
That service infrastructure is backed by a company that has operated since 1989, with approximately 90 certified technicians and more than 80 branded service vehicles across its footprint.

Commercial Automation FAQ
A commercial automation system integrates technologies such as audio/video, lighting, motorized shades, climate control, security, Wi-Fi, and networking into a more unified experience. Depending on the room and project goals, teams can use intuitive interfaces and automated scenes to prepare spaces for meetings, presentations, and everyday operations.
Boardrooms, training rooms, offices, houses of worship, schools, hospitality spaces, medical practices, and multi-office environments all benefit from automation—anywhere collaboration, presentation, or intelligent control is required.
Integrated room control lets displays, audio, lighting, shades, and other room technologies respond together, rather than requiring employees to manage each device individually. A preset, such as “Presentation” or “Video Call,” can prepare the room quickly and reduce unnecessary technical distractions.
Motorized shades help manage daylight, glare, heat gain, and UV exposure while improving screen visibility and comfort. When integrated with lighting and room control, shades can also become part of scheduled or scene-based adjustments throughout the day.
Yes. Lighting is one of GHT’s core areas of expertise, and the company has two dedicated lighting designers on staff. Depending on the project scope, the team can support architects, builders, and designers with lighting plans, CAD drawings, renderings, and photometrics while coordinating lighting control with the broader technology system.
Professional conferencing systems integrate cameras, microphones, speakers, displays, and controls so that in-room and remote participants can communicate more consistently. The system can be designed around straightforward presets that help employees begin meetings without relying on improvised setups.
Commercial spaces have more devices, higher user density, and greater interference. Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi provides stronger coverage, better roaming, and reliable performance for cloud apps, VoIP, and video conferencing.
Wi-Fi covers wireless access, while networking includes the entire wired and wireless backbone—switches, routers, cabling, firewalls, and management tools. Together, they provide speed, reliability, and security.
Networks are designed with segmentation, encryption, firewalls, and best practices to isolate AV and building systems from core business IT. Management tools monitor performance and mitigate security risks across all locations.
No. Interfaces are designed for simplicity with clearly labeled presets like “Presentation,” “Video Call,” or “All Off,” so users can start meetings without IT assistance.
Yes. Standardized designs can be deployed across offices in Atlanta, the Florida Panhandle/30A, Birmingham, and beyond, so rooms operate consistently across all locations.
Yes. GHT deliberately works within the design-build community and can coordinate technology requirements with architects, builders, designers, and other stakeholders. Early planning helps account for displays, speakers, controls, lighting, shading, network infrastructure, and equipment locations before construction decisions limit the available options.
Yes. GHT offers a Smart Boardroom Demo that demonstrates how integrated commercial AV and room control can support meetings and collaboration. GHT’s Experience Centers also provide opportunities to see and interact with integrated technology in person.
Commercial automation can reduce unnecessary energy use by turning off or adjusting lighting, AV, and other integrated systems when spaces are unoccupied or operating conditions change. The exact operational and financial impact will depend on the building, technologies, and how the system is configured.
GHT maintains dedicated service personnel rather than relying exclusively on installation technicians for ongoing support. Clients have access to the proprietary GHT App, 24/7 on-call technicians, and a 12–24-hour callback commitment for service requests.
The process begins with discovery to understand your goals, workflows, and project requirements. GHT then develops the system design, coordinates with relevant project and IT teams, completes installation and programming, provides training, and transitions the system into its ongoing service structure.
