Home automation technologies manufacturer and distributor Resideo Technologies has placed a minority investment in XTEN-AV LLC (Union City, CA), a provider of professional audio-visual design and proposal software.

Resideo — the parent company of ADI Global Distribution (No. 7 on MDM’s 2023 Top Electrical Distributors List) — said the investment will help further accelerate XTEN-AV’s product development.

XTEN-AV provides a collaborative software platform for integrators to conceptualize designs and streamline proposal processes. Additionally, a Jan. 24 news release stated, XTEN-AV helps maximize efficiency, benefiting integrators, designers and end-users alike. 

Resideo, meanwhile, makes and develops technology-driven products that provide critical comfort, energy management and safety and security solutions. Resideo is also a global distributor of security, life safety, AV and low-voltage products through its ADI Global Distribution unit.  

“We continue to see Pro AV as a growth category, and we’re investing in technology to help drive the industry forward,” said Stu Tisdale, ADI’s Senior Vice President and Chief Experience Officer. “We recognize the value XTEN-AV’s platform delivers, and we’re excited to support them to advance their software platform and help deliver greater impact to customers.”

The release stated that XTEN-AV’s cloud-based solution integrates innovative design and drawing tools with a proposal software alongside a device- and personnel-agnostic approach that ensures critical project data is readily accessible. XTEN-AV holds a utility patent for its drawings automation technology, reinforcing its position in the Pro AV software landscape.
