Hall Research

What Hall Research does

Hall Research is a privately held, Certified Native-Owned Business that designs and manufactures professional audio-video (AV) hardware for collaboration, distribution, and control applications across enterprise, education, government, healthcare, and hospitality markets. The company operates a multi-brand portfolio - Atlona (switchers, extenders, AV over IP), Hall Technologies/Hall Vision (medical monitors and KVM extension), Captivate (collaboration cameras and wireless presentation), Gain Audio (amplifiers, DSP, speakers, microphones), and Javelin (cables, connectors, testers) - unified under a single corporate umbrella, totaling more than 250 SKUs. Core proprietary platforms include OmniStream (AV over IP with video wall and bezel compensation), Velocity (room control and scheduling), Osiris DSP (audio processing), and PTZ auto-tracking cameras; the technology stack spans HDBaseT extension up to 100 meters, USB-C conferencing, networked AV, and medical-grade KVM.

The company distributes exclusively through authorized dealers, distributors, integrators, and approved online resellers worldwide, supported by a Partner Portal, Atlona Academy training, and a project registration system; it does not sell direct to end customers. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales with quote-based pricing, supplemented by an extended warranty program. Hall Research has been majority owned since 2018 by Gun Lake Investments (GLI), a 100% Tribally-owned enterprise serving as the economic diversification arm of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians, which provides Native-Owned Business status, TAA compliance, and HETMA approval for differentiated access to government and higher-education procurement channels. Operations are led by CEO Ken Eagle.
