What Hms miami does

Hms miami, operating as Videlio HMS & FUNA, is the marine and themed-entertainment division of France-based Videlio Group. The company integrates audiovisual, lighting, rigging and stage automation, and mission-critical communication and safety systems for cruise ships, shipyards, theme parks, public venues and terminals worldwide. Its platform is organized into two divisions — Sea and Land — supported by five cross-cutting solution areas (Video, Audio, Lighting, Rigging & Stage Automation, Control & Security) and delivered end-to-end from consultancy and design through integration, installation, and long-term service via a global maintenance network. The Sea division is the core franchise, with dedicated product lines including Immersive Entertainment at Sea, Mission Critical Communication (redundant PA/General Alarm), Performance in Motion (rigging and stage automation built to cruise grade), Smart Guest Cabins (in-cabin automation), Onboard Digital Platforms (IT, fiber, SATCOM, broadcast), and Signature Marine Lighting (architectural and hull illumination). The Land division applies the same integration discipline to theme parks, museums, arenas, cruise terminals, and public spaces.

The company serves enterprise customers through direct field sales on long, project-based sales cycles — including MSC, Disney, Viking, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, AIDA, P&O, Celebrity, Universal Studios, and Hong Kong Disneyland — generating revenue primarily through custom integrated system delivery (professional services) and recurring maintenance and service contracts. HMS was founded in 1983 in Le Havre and joined Videlio Group in 2006; FUNA was founded in 1972 in Emden and joined Videlio Group in 2021, consolidating two maritime AVIT pioneers under a single privately-held French parent headquartered in Gennevilliers. The combined entity operates 90 offices across roughly 90 countries with approximately 3,500 employees and a stated track record of 3,040+ new cruise ships built with its systems, including flagship references such as Icon of the Seas, Disney Adventure, the National Geographic Museum of Exploration, and Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood.
