Modernizing Municipal AV Starts With Smarter Management

As municipalities upgrade their public infrastructure, the challenge is no longer limited to installing new technology. The real challenge is managing it effectively. That is where Branch Connect delivers value.

Branch Connect is more than an AV monitoring platform. It is a proactive operations tool designed specifically for government environments. Whether it is a Council Chamber, Recreation Centre, Police Station, or a citywide Digital Signage network, Branch Connect gives municipal IT and facilities teams real time oversight, intelligent alerts, and centralized control over their entire AV ecosystem.

1. Council Chambers and Meeting Rooms

Hybrid and in person civic meetings rely on dependable AV. Branch Connect monitors microphones, cameras, DSPs, and presentation systems, and alerts your team before issues appear. This helps ensure smooth council sessions, uninterrupted public participation, and fewer last minute technical problems.

2. Emergency Services: Police, Fire, and Utilities

Mission critical environments demand consistent uptime. Branch Connect provides continuous monitoring of AV systems in command and control centers, EOCs, and dispatch rooms. This helps maintain situational awareness and communication when it matters most.

3. Recreational and Community Facilities

Modern recreational facilities depend on screens, sound systems, and scheduling tools. Branch Connect brings visibility to all of these systems, helping minimize downtime and improve the quality of public programs and events.

4. Digital Signage Across the City

Digital signage only works when content is current and screens are online. Branch Connect helps manage signage players, display status, and connectivity across every bus shelter, arena, and city building. This reduces public complaints and lowers the cost of unnecessary site visits.

5. Utilities and Command Centers

AV systems are the visual backbone of operational decision making. Branch Connect monitors everything from large format video walls to operator workstations and provides secure, encrypted access for IT and integrators when support is needed.
