Miovision Technologies

As owner and anchor tenant of Catalyst-137 — a 475,000 sq ft repurposed warehouse in Kitchener — Miovision Technologies needed a single integrator who could deliver enterprise-grade cabling, AV, and acoustics across a workspace three times the size of their previous office. Tekena designed and delivered Phase 1 across 75,000 sq ft, integrating 27 screens, a centralized Crestron control system, sound masking for the open warehouse environment, and a showcase central meeting hub. The result is a seamless, scalable technology backbone that Miovision is replicating for Phase 2 with no changes.

Miovision’s move into Catalyst-137 represented a major scale-up — in space, ambition, and technology requirements. The team needed a single integrator capable of managing every layer of the build, with four clear priorities:

• Enterprise-grade meeting room technology — commercial hardware and advanced AV throughout.
• Sound masking for privacy in a large, open-ceiling warehouse environment.
• A data infrastructure mapped not just for today, but for future growth.
• Radical simplification — fewer remotes, fewer touch points, one unified control experience.

We needed a team who would manage the project and save us from coordinating across multiple vendors. Tekena fit the bill.

Tekena worked closely with Miovision from design through delivery, layering each technology onto a prefabricated foundation built for scale and change:

• Prefabricated data communications cabling — the structured backbone supporting every downstream system.
• 27 integrated AV screens (60–90") — across collaboration spaces and meeting rooms, including a showcase circular central Hub.
• Crestron control system — centralized management of AV, meeting spaces, and room booking from a single unified touch panel.
• Sound masking — acoustic privacy engineered for the open, high-ceiling warehouse environment.
• Sustainable reuse — salvaged and repurposed screens from Miovision’s previous office to reduce waste.

I outlined how I wanted it to work and then Tekena took care of the rest. That’s what I was looking for.

The completed integration has had what Miovision calls a “positively drastic” impact on day-to-day operations:

• Meetings start in seconds — one button activates the right screens, audio, and sources.
• Better privacy — sound masking performs reliably even with open ceilings in a former warehouse.
• Faster device switching and outside-attendee onboarding — reduced friction in every meeting.
• Single point of accountability — last-mile changes handled by one integrator rather than three or four coordinated vendors.

A big win has been the simplification of everything down to a unified touch panel. You present, and one button turns on all the right audio and all the right TVs.

Some of the things Tekena addressed without us having to intervene was probably a cut above data companies I have worked with in the past.

Miovision is moving directly into Phase 2 — an additional 80,000 sq ft fit-out — with the same approach and the same partner. The model has also extended beyond Miovision’s own footprint: Tekena has been engaged by the Catalyst-137 building owners and other tenants, delivering sound masking, AV integration, and a videowall across common areas.

No notable mistakes, no regrets. We will repeat the same thing with no changes.

A lot of people spend money on the hardware, but they don’t want to spend any money on configuration. If you’ve got the right people doing it, you’ve got the better experience. It has nothing to do with the hardware, and everything to do with who’s doing it for you.
