Our own Geovani Rodriguez was honored in ExtroNews for his dedication and superb craftsmanship. Read the full article, “Racks by Geovani”.
If you’ve ever visited the Extron S3 Technical Institute and looked at the “Extron S3 Technical Institute Contributors” plaques on the wall, you’ll notice one that reads “Racks by Geovani.” This particular plaque represents Extron’s recognition of a very talented A/V professional, whose hard work and dedication helped create and organize the core of Extron’s S3 Technical Institute training facility.
Geovani Rodriguez, CTS (Certified Technology Specialist), is a Senior Technician at Real Time Services, Inc., a full service audiovisual systems integration company. He’s been fabricating racks for the past seven years, and he’s been in the A/V industry for the past nine years, including time spent at rental jobs and internships before rack fabrication entered the picture. Based in Long Island, New York, Geovani has traveled the USA installing racks. His racks are located in A/V systems from Boston to San Francisco, and now at Extron’s headquarters in Anaheim, California.
Geovani likes fabricating racks and tries his best to make them picture-perfect. He enjoys having his work critiqued and takes pride in his neatly harnessed racks. He credits a “great bunch of guys” at Real Time Services for the opportunity to work with and learn from them – namely its founding partners: Vincent Basirico, CTS; Bob Pepe; John Pepe, CTS, CTS-D; and John Vezzi, CTS. “Whatever we do, we try to make it right,” commented Geovani.
The story of how Geovani became the go-to guy for the racks at Extron’s world-class training facility started a few years ago at an Extron School. One of the Real Time Services partners, John Pepe, mentioned to Roy Hermanson, Extron’s Regional Applications Specialist in the Northeast, that any time Extron needs to build a rack, Real Time Services would be glad to help out.
As Extron was building our new training facility, Roy remembered that long-ago conversation and called up Real Time Services. With care and an eye towards aesthetics, Geovani worked his cable management and wire dressing wonders while meeting a tight deadline. As Bob mentioned, “Geovani does a great job and goes the extra mile. He is one of the finest people and employees I’ve ever met.”
As for the Extron S3 Technical Institute, Geovani noted, “The facility is excellent. There’s a lot of cabling, and equipment from different manufacturers are integrated together. Plus it’s been a great pleasure working with Extron.”

You’ll see that commitment reflected in our technical training. Beyond attending manufacturers’ and industry-recognized training on an ongoing basis, we require every single member of our team to receive their InfoComm CTS Certification—the most demanding training certification in the industry. This organization-wide certification exceeds the ordinary requirements to qualify as an “InfoComm-Certified” company. None of our competitors can claim such a high standard of training and certification for their staff members.
And you’ll see our commitment reflected in the companies who use us. Hearts Publications, Cushman & Wakefield, Morgan Stanley, The New York Stock Exchange, Columbia University and a host of other Fortune 500 companies understand the power of communications and they use Real Time Services to harness that power.
