What Metinteractive does
Metinteractive, founded in 2013 by Rachel and Jeff Mele, is a US-based AV and IT systems integrator focused on entertainment venues and large-format commercial spaces. The company designs, engineers, prefabricates, installs, and commissions complex audio, video, lighting, digital signage, IPTV, broadcast production, and control systems for arenas, stadiums, performing arts centers, universities, convention centers, casinos, museums, and corporate environments. Notable deployments include the 1.2 million square foot Javits Center expansion, the University of Michigan's "Big House" stadium, Dr. Phillips Center's Steinmetz Hall, the Cleveland Cavaliers' Power Portal, and Encore Boston Harbor's WynnBET Sports Bar.
The company's technology stack combines third-party best-of-breed AV/IT components with proprietary hardware and software developed through its sister company, ElationLogic. Proprietary products include the BlueBox and GreenBox broadcast power/signal interfaces, DS Series content engines, CM Series signage servers, KDE/KD/KDT kiosk and multitouch display systems, LogicStation control room consoles, and software platforms LogicPlay (sports/scoreboard), Storyteller (signage workflow), bard.menu (menu boards), and a newly launched IPTV Solution (2025). The company maintains 30+ active technology partnerships with manufacturers including Ross Video, Q-SYS, d&b audiotechnik, EAW, Mitsubishi DiamondVision, Crestron, Daktronics, JBL, Shure, Yamaha, Clear-Com, and Harman.
Metinteractive generates revenue through four streams: project-based professional services for system integration; recurring managed services (AV-as-a-Service, Hardware-as-a-Service, Bronze/Silver/Gold support tiers); hardware product sales through ElationLogic; and software licensing (perpetual or annual). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with go-to-market executed via direct enterprise field sales to venue owners, general contractors, and facility managers — supplemented by manufacturer relationship-driven equipment quoting. The customer base is highly diversified across named accounts including Cleveland Cavaliers, University of Connecticut, Dr. Phillips Center, Schomburg Center, Javits Center, DePaul University, University of Michigan, Wynn Resorts, Worcester Red Sox, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Whitney Museum, Baltimore Orioles, USTA, Yale, and the New York Public Library. The company is woman-owned (WBENC certified), DBE certified, and headquartered in Oxford, CT with additional offices in New York, South Carolina, Ohio, West Virginia, and Nebraska.
