What is an ATEL site assessment?
An ATEL site assessment is a free, on-site review of a business's technology infrastructure by ATEL Technologies, a licensed low voltage and IT contractor in Miramar, San Diego (CSLB #1121116, C-7 and C-10). A technician inspects cabling and telecom rooms, network and internet, security cameras and access control, phones and carrier bills, AV and life safety systems, then delivers written findings, prioritized recommendations and an itemized quote. It's the first step for any upgrade, move, buildout or security improvement - and there's no obligation to buy.
- Cabling, network, security, phones, AV and life safety in one visit
- Written findings, prioritized by risk and cost
- Itemized quote you can compare - no pressure to buy
