PHOENIX — Aug. 13, 2026 — Blackwire Designs, a leading distributor in the custom installation and Pro AV markets, today announced that representatives from RUCKUS, Island, and Dylan Innovations will join the Blackwire team at CEDIA Expo 2026. Visit booth 4311 from Sept. 2–4 to speak directly with brand experts and explore deployment strategies for high-performance projects.
As modern smart homes and commercial AV systems become increasingly network-dependent, Blackwire continues to pair top-tier physical and digital infrastructure with specialized distributor support services. At Booth 4311, visitors can connect directly with team members from each key brand:
- RUCKUS: Attendees can meet with RUCKUS experts to discuss enterprise-grade Pro AV ICX switches and next-generation Wi-Fi 7 access points. Built for demanding AV-over-IP deployments and high-density wireless environments, RUCKUS hardware delivers the rock-solid throughput required for complex installations.
- Island: Representatives from Island will be on hand to discuss their high-performance smart router and network management platform. Purpose-built for residential and commercial installations, Island combines high-speed routing, robust security, and intuitive app-based management to streamline network control for integrators and homeowners alike.
- Dylan Innovations: To highlight the physical foundation of modern installations, Dylan Innovations will be at the booth to discuss their premium network racks, architectural infrastructure products, and heavy-duty mounting solutions. Built specifically for custom integrators, Dylan Innovations solutions keep equipment layouts clean, accessible, and structured for long-term serviceability.
“A system is only as good as the physical and digital infrastructure supporting it, which is why we’re so excited to bring RUCKUS, Island, and Dylan Innovations together in our booth this year,” said Cody Crossland, VP of Sales at Blackwire Designs. “CEDIA Expo is all about relationships and learning. We want dealers to stop by the Blackwire booth, meet the people behind these incredible brands, and see how combining their hardware with Blackwire’s support services makes job-site deployments faster and far less stressful.”
Pre-Configured for Zero-Friction Deployment
To complete the experience, Blackwire will highlight its value-add technical services and dealer support tools. Integrators sourcing through Blackwire can take advantage of the company’s complimentary Network Provisioning Service (NPS) and free AV-over-IP system pre-configuration, alongside specialized predictive Wi-Fi heatmap design support. By bench-testing and pre-configuring RUCKUS switches, APs, Island routers, and AV-over-IP encoders prior to delivery, Blackwire turns multi-layered networks and video distribution projects into plug-and-play installations that cut on-site setup time and eliminate unbillable labor costs.
Additionally, booth visitors will get an exclusive first look at the updated Ruckus 101 guide, set to officially launch this September. Rebuilt for Wi-Fi 7, modern 200.18 Unleashed setups, and multi-gig ICX switch configuration, the updated field guide provides technicians with fast-track setup procedures and best practices to eliminate post-install headaches.
