Axis Communications opens Experience Center in Mall of America

CHELMSFORD, Mass. – Axis Communications continues to expand its presence in the Midwest with the opening of another Axis Experience Center (AEC) at the Mall of America office tower.

Adjoining the famous Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., this latest experience center makes the fifth opened this year and Axis Communications' 15th overall in the Americas. This, the company says, underscores their commitment in growing its “On-the-ground” presence in key markets to better serve stakeholders.

“At Axis, we’re always focused on the customer and their needs as part of our mission of enabling a smarter, safer world,” said Karl Radke, Midwest business area director at Axis Communications. “Our Axis Experience Centers give customers the knowledge and hands-on experience they need to make the best choices for their own unique projects. Opening an AEC in Minnesota allows us to get even closer to our valued stakeholders in the Midwest, offering them the opportunity to connect with our experts and our products in an incredible high-tech environment unlike anything they’ve seen before.”

Being described as one of Axis’ most unique AECs, the 4,500-square-foot solutions lab is one of the largest open, offering a view of the twin cities thanks to its powerful rooftop cameras. The technology center considers Axis’ entire product portfolio and is designed to provider customers and partners in the Minneapolis area the opportunity to see cutting-edge products like video, audio, intercom, and access control solutions in action, along with advanced integrations for point-of-sales, biometric access control and geo-tracking.

“The opening of the Axis Experience Center is yet another example of the innovative concepts we’re bringing into Mall of America,” added Rich Hoge, executive vice president of operations at Mall of America. “Visitors will have the unique opportunity to test the products and learn how this leading security technology works. We are excited to welcome the Axis Experience Center as we mark their first location in the Upper Midwest.”

The facility features tailored tours as well as live integration demonstrations and showcases of Axis’ largest VMS partners, Genetec and Milestone. To schedule a tour or learn more about the facility and its available resources interested parties are asked to email minneapolis-aec@axis.com.
