According to Wally Whinna, principal of Allnet Distributing and board member of the Catalyst AV Distribution Network, the company is focused on bringing its award-winning training seminars to Indy-based integrators. Beginning January and February, Allnet is hosting aggressive trainings on Luxul (advanced networking), Lutron (shade and lighting certification) and URC (Total Control).
