The story of their company starts in the late 1980s with the emergence of personal computer and the accessibility of the internet for consumers. Back then, ATD stood for Advanced Telecomm Devices. Their co-founder graduated with honors from NYC College of Technology with a B.Sc. in electrical engineering and an MBA degree. In the early 1990’s ATD developed highly sophisticated communication devices and started to sell and rent communication servers and network modems for industry leaders such as IBM, Cisco, all telephone companies and more. In the late 1990s they started to integrate CCTV devices into their servers. In 2005 they made a full transition into the AV Rentals and Services industry.
Their background as a 1990s telecommunication startup helped to shape their current business into a unique out of the box AV services and rental shop. They have a rich background in technology and programming, which help them understand the very basics of the AV industry, and as a result, serve their customers better.
In 2015, they integrated with Kayne Live, an emerging event production agency lead by master producer Benji Kayne. This integration formed their production department that is fully managed by Benji – ATD Productions.
