What Agelec does

Agelec is a French audiovisual system integrator founded in 1959/1960 (sources report both 1959 and 1960) and headquartered in the Paris metropolitan area (Bagneux/Romainville), specializing in mission-critical environments where continuous operation and rapid situational awareness are non-negotiable. The company designs, deploys, and maintains control rooms, supervision centers, crisis rooms, command centers, collaborative spaces, and mobile command vehicles for transportation operators (RATP, SNCF, ADP/Aéroports de Paris, Aéroport de Lyon, SOFICO), public safety and defense entities (SDIS, Gendarmerie, Police Nationale, MBDA, ECA, Défense), government and healthcare institutions (Ministères, URSSAF, Fondation Rothschild, Hôpitaux), and regulated enterprises (Nestlé, Orange Bank, Engie, EDF, Airbus, Dassault). Over 100 prestigious clients are referenced.

The technical core is SMARTmanager, a Linux-based AVoIP orchestration platform that combines acquisition, encoding, decoding, matrix switching, mixing, video control, KVM management, audio, and network applications across physical (DVI/HDMI/DP), IP (decoded streams), network (VNC/RDP/VM), and local sources, with outputs to LCD, Direct LED, and DLP displays. SMARTmanager is bundled with an AGC hardware suite (AGCwall, AGCdvw, AGCKVM, AGC-MVX) and HMI/admin sub-products (AGCsmart, AGCweb, AGCHome, AGCDraw, AGCdock, AGC-mainteneur), and integrates with Genetec and Milestone VMS, BlackBox KVM, Barco Ctrl, SCADA, and Microsoft Teams/Zoom/Webex. Reliability features (watchdog, clustering, automatic restart) target near-100% availability.

Agelec sells via enterprise field sales: technical architect-integrators provide free audits, design custom solutions with no technology lock-in, install, and then attach multi-year maintenance, obsolescence management, and software update services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. In June 2025, Agelec was integrated into Videlio Group (the #1 audiovisual services provider in France, top 10 in Europe) as the new 'Smart Controlling' branch; Agelec retained its name, operational autonomy, and CEO (Guillaume Guérin), gaining access to shared R&D labs and Videlio's 8,000-client base. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range, with revenue stated to have multiplied by four over the last decade.

Core offering

Agelec designs, integrates and maintains bespoke audiovisual systems for critical infrastructure environments — control rooms, supervision centers, crisis rooms, command centers and collaborative spaces. Its core is the proprietary SMARTmanager AVoIP orchestration software complemented by a hardware suite (AGCwall, AGCdvw, AGCKVM, AGC-MVX) and supporting HMI/administration sub-products, delivered as turnkey projects with long-term maintenance for clients in transport, public safety, defense, energy, healthcare, banking and industry.

Product overview

Agelec offers an integrated audiovisual solutions portfolio combining proprietary software platforms with specialized hardware controllers. The core offering is SMARTmanager, a software brain that orchestrates audiovisual technologies over IP (AVoIP), managing acquisition, encoding, decoding, matrix switching, mixing, video control, KVM, audio, and network applications across physical sources (DVI, HDMI, DP), IP sources (decoding), network sources (VNC, RDP, VM), local sources (applications, web), and multi-display outputs (LCD, Direct LED, DLP). This software platform is complemented by a suite of hardware controllers including AGCwall (video controller), AGCdvw (video decoder), AGCKVM (KVM encoder/decoder), and AGC-MVX (video stream encoder), along with sub-products including AGCweb (administration), AGCsmart (simplified HMI), AGCHome (centralized space management), AGCDRAW (drawing tool), AGCDOCK (touch-optimized quick access), and AGC-mainteneur (maintenance/supervision). Third-party VMS plugin integrations for Genetec and Milestone extend the platform's video management capabilities.
