MOBOTIX Enters Distribution Agreement with GA in Puerto Rico

MOBOTIX Corp., an industry-leading provider of high-resolution, network-based surveillance systems has entered into a distribution agreement with GA, a leading value-added supplier based in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

  • Nov 15, 2012

In this new agreement, GA will serve current and new MOBOTIX value-added resellers by providing video surveillance, network and cabling solutions, wireless infrastructure and indoor/outdoor power protection.

Founded in 1987, GA is the primary distributor in the Caribbean region for a wide range of innovative solution manufacturers. The company is a leading supplier for video surveillance projects that offers quality support and services to the highly dynamic Caribbean market.

GA provides value-added service to technology providers and network and security integrators by supporting just one or two manufacturers per product family. By working closely with a limited group of manufacturers, GA can offer a high level of expertise and support for projects of all sizes and encourage new business development.

GA effectively builds on the interest for MOBOTIX IP-based surveillance technologies in these markets. Demand for the company’s decentralized and hemispheric surveillance solutions, including the Q24 hemispheric camera, the S14 double hemispheric camera and T24 IP Video Door Station, has increased as users look to more edge-based resources to manage risks and optimize resources.

“With more than 25 years of experience in wholesale distribution, we are the ideal fit for a company like MOBOTIX,” said José J. García Martinó, sales director, GA. “We understand the unique demands of this region, and we look forward to helping them achieve great success here.”

“We're excited to expand our presence in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said Steve Gorski, General Manager, Americas, MOBOTIX. “GA has years of experience working with video surveillance manufacturers and security integrators, and they are the ideal distribution partner to help us as we expand into these new markets.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
