“ W e work hard every day to modernize the real estate industry , which from a technology standpoint hasn ’ t changed as much as other industries in the last 50 to 100 years ,” says Jason Falbo , Chief Technology Officer at Mircom Group , a Canadian leader in the smart building space . “ Our goal is to make buildings safer , smarter , and more livable .”
Tracing its origins back to the 1960s with founder Tony Falbo ’ s involvement in predecessor company Mirtone , today Mircom remains a family business that nevertheless competes with the largest corporations . “ We ’ ve seen great consolidation amongst the competitors in the market and we now find ourselves one of only a handful of global players in the fire and life-safety industry . Our competitors are behemoth companies , all multi-billion-dollar , multinational firms . Fire is a very small part of their business , whereas , it ’ s our primary focus and the biggest part of what we do on a daily basis .”
