Broad incumbents

• AVI-SPL: Global AV systems integrator offering design, integration, and managed services for collaboration, broadcast, and venue environments. Comparable to AE Global in end-to-end AV project delivery, but serves enterprise/corporate/education at substantially larger scale.
• Whitlock: National AV integrator specializing in unified collaboration, broadcast, and digital signage across enterprise, public sector, and venue customers. Comparable in full-service AVL integration capability and recurring managed services, but broader in vertical reach than AE Global.
• Diversified: One of the largest US AV integrators with a broad portfolio across corporate, education, healthcare, government, and worship verticals. Comparable to AE Global in core AVL integration capabilities but operates at much larger scale and across multiple verticals rather than churches-only.
• Ford Audio-Video: US AV systems integrator providing design, installation, and service for corporate, education, government, and house-of-worship environments. Comparable to AE Global in core integration and service model, with church work as one segment of a broader book of business.

Direct peers
