IVC Classrooms

Field Service teams up with The Distance Ed Specialists for site surveys of new classroom locations to help with classroom layout and answer any technical questions. Installation is done by the Field Service technicians using the site survey plans along with equipment lists and design plans laid out by the Application Engineers. Maintenance and upgrades are the largest part of Field Service responsibilities.
