What Caribbean Entertainment Technologies does

Caribbean Entertainment Technologies Ltd (CET) is a Trinidad and Tobago-based private systems integrator that has operated for over 28 years designing, supplying, installing, programming, and commissioning extra-low-voltage (ELV) systems across the entire CARICOM Caribbean territory. The company delivers a unified turn-key platform spanning nine integration modules: access control and time attendance, control and building management, data and IT solutions (Cisco Catalyst, Fluidmesh wireless, fiber WAN), surveillance and asset awareness (Bosch IP CCTV with video analytics and license-plate/facial recognition), digital signage and public displays, industrial communications, specialty lighting and energy management, mass notification and US-standard voice alarm/evacuation systems, and virtual conferencing (Shure DCS 6000, Polycom, AMX Acendo Vibe, Marantz Turret). CET operates a parallel retail channel — a physical store on the ground floor of Maritime Centre in Barataria, Trinidad and an e-commerce storefront at shop.caribbeanav.com — selling JBL, Audio-Technica, Soundcraft, Presonus, KRK, Pioneer, AKG, BSS, AMX, Lexicon, and PRV products with a one-year limited warranty, supplemented by F.O.B. sales and bonded procurement/shipping from Miami and Fort Lauderdale into CARICOM markets.

CET monetizes through four revenue streams: project-based systems integration (professional services), hardware/retail product sales, recurring managed services (systems leasing, regional warranty and maintenance, advance replacement), and F.O.B. wholesale from South Florida. Its go-to-market combines direct field sales led by a sales director and project managers, an authorized-dealer channel for global brands (Cisco, JBL, Shure, DiGiCo, Elation, Harman, Bosch, Chauvet, Mäag Audio), event-driven demand generation (Shure, Ableton, and Chauvet seminars; UTT Panorama sponsorship), and a regional sales/rental sub-brand, CET-AMR in Guyana. The customer base spans hospitality and entertainment venues (Hyatt Regency Trinidad, OVO Nightclub Uruguay, Hard Rock Cafe Guyana, Queen's Hall Theatre, Viv Richards Stadium, Sticky Wicket/Bowlers Club Antigua), government and central bank clients (Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago Money Museum and Auditorium, Police Service Band), universities (University of the West Indies St. Augustine and regional campuses, CITB), houses of worship (First Baptist Church Jamaica, Trinidad Christian Center), corporate and energy enterprises (Massy Holdings, Republic Bank, ExxonMobil Guyana, Touchstone Exploration, CENTRIN), and music production (47 Productions for Dwayne Bravo). No revenue, funding, or valuation figures are disclosed in the source material.

Direct peers

• Ford Audio-Video: Ford Audio-Video is a US AV integrator serving corporate, education, government, worship, and entertainment with design-build AV, video conferencing, digital signage, and control systems. It mirrors CET's multi-vertical coverage and its emphasis on design-build single-supplier delivery for medium and large customers.
• LD Systems: LD Systems is a Texas-based AV integrator and live-event production company that has collaborated with CET on Caribbean projects (Sticky Wicket / Bowlers Club in Antigua) and shares the same multi-vertical AV integration model. It is directly comparable as a peer integrator with comparable capabilities and customer mix.
• HB Communications: HB Communications is a US AV systems integrator delivering unified communications, digital signage, control rooms, and collaboration solutions for enterprise, education, government, and healthcare. It is comparable to CET in its turn-key AV/IT/security bundling and recurring managed-services orientation.
• CCS Presentation Systems: CCS Presentation Systems is a national US AV integrator specializing in conference rooms, digital signage, and collaboration systems for enterprise, government, and education. It is comparable to CET's corporate boardroom (Massy, Republic Bank) and education (UWI) integration work and its turn-key single-supplier approach to AV and control systems.
• PSNI Global Alliance: PSNI Global Alliance is a network of independent AV integrators and service providers delivering standardized AV solutions across geographies. CET fits the profile of a regional PSNI-style integrator (independent, multi-brand authorized, full-stack systems) and could be a comparable candidate or peer member for Caribbean-region AV deployments.
• Adtech Systems: Adtech Systems is a Southeastern US AV integrator providing design-build and integration of AV, broadcast, and digital signage systems for corporate, government, education, and worship clients. It mirrors CET's mix of corporate, government, worship, and education deployments and its reliance on tier-1 brand partnerships (Crestron, Extron, Biamp).

Broad incumbents

• Solotech: Solotech is a large North American AV integrator and live-event production company serving entertainment, corporate, and sports venues with AV systems design, rental, and production services. It is comparable to CET's combined AV integration and live-event production business (DiGiCo SD consoles for concerts, JBL Vertec deployments, etc.), but at significantly larger North American scale.
• AVI-SPL: AVI-SPL is the largest global AV systems integrator, providing design, integration, and managed services for enterprise, government, education, and hospitality customers. It is comparable to CET as a multi-vertical AV integration specialist, but at vastly greater global scale and with a broader portfolio that includes UC, collaboration, and digital signage at a worldwide footprint.
• Diversified: Diversified (formerly Whitlock) is a major North American AV/integrated technology solutions provider serving enterprise, government, healthcare, and entertainment. Like CET, it bundles AV, security, and collaboration systems under turn-key deployments, but operates across the US and select international markets rather than being a Caribbean specialist.

Regional players

• Rent A Amp Sound Co: Rent A Amp Sound Co is a Trinidad and Tobago live-event rental company that purchased DiGiCo SD10 and SD12 consoles through CET | AMR. It is comparable to CET's live-event / AV-rental activity and shares Caribbean geography, but is a customer/channel partner rather than a direct competitor.
