30-Year Anniversary of the Late Michael Stechly August marked the 30 year anniversary of the passing of Applied Electronics founder, Michael Stechly.

Michael Stechly graduated from Ryerson Polytechnic Institute as an Electronics Technologist in 1953 and joined McCurdy Radio as a Test Technician, and shortly after, as a Sales Manager. With a strong business acumen, he always maintained a business approach based on establishing open, honest relationships with clients, employees, and colleagues. As a result, he developed a loyal clientele and many friendships in the industry.

At age 26, Michael started his first business venture called “Applied Business Systems” located in Etobicoke, Ontario, employing one other employee as a secretary. Michael was an incredibly entrepreneurial man with a drive for success. He subsequently began

a handful of other businesses ranging from broadcast equipment to medical supplies, and even a commercial fishing operation. He ultimately incorporated this first business venture as “Applied Electronics Limited” in 1961.

Since then, the company grew rapidly in tandem with the Canadian broadcasting industry in the heady days of the 1970s, and diversified in the early 1980s, expanding into the Audio-Visual industry. Michael Stechly

lost his life to cancer in 1985.

Thirty years later, Applied Electronics is owned and managed by Michael’s two sons, Paul and John, and his daughter, Susan. Their passion, commitment and drive represent their father’s legacy, and these attributes are at the forefront of Applied Electronics’ reputation and success.

PROJECT PROFILESApplied Electronics Creates a Brand New Production Studio & Control Facility for AOL Canada’s The Huffington PostAOL is a media technology company with a mission to simplify the internet for consumers and creators by unleashing the world’s best builders of culture and code. AOL Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Inc., is committed to continuously innovating, growing and investing in brands and experiences that inform, entertain and connect the world through its world-class collection of premium brands, including The Huffington Post Canada, Autoblog Canada & Quebec, StyleList Canada & Quebec, Parentdish, Moviefone, TechCrunch, Engadget, and AOL Originals.

AOL Canada creates original content that engages audiences on a local and global scale, and it serves the latest Canadian and world news covering politics, business, lifestyle and the viral web through its popular digital platform, The Huffington Post.

In Spring of 2015, AOL Canada approached Applied Electronics to design and build a brand new production studio and control room for The Huffington Post, at its headquarters in Toronto, which would facilitate the recording of interview segments and the production and streaming of live shows on the web.

AOL required a highly efficient, compact production and control facility that could accommodate a small production team, yet had the capacity and capability for future growth and operational expansion. Timeline was a concern as the new facility needed to be fully operational within six weeks of the initial order. With value engineering in mind, the Applied Electronics Broadcast Systems Group worked with AOL to define equipment, workflow and facility layout.

PROJECT PROFILESApplied Electronics Builds Out Twelve Floors of Pembina Pipeline Head Office to Facilitate Collaboration and GrowthBased in Calgary, Pembina Pipeline is one of the largest and most diversified energy infrastructure companies in Canada. To facilitate their strategic plan for growth and collaboration, Pembina engaged Applied Electronics’ audio visual systems design and integration services to build out all of the meeting and collaboration spaces across the 12 floors of their corporate head office, including a large multi-purpose conference centre.

Over the course of a year, Applied Electronics equipped 37 meeting rooms, six 12- to 32-seat boardrooms, two training rooms, a trading floor, a social space, multiple cafeterias, and a conference centre, which could be converted into four separate conference spaces to accommodate corporate events of any size, with full audio visual systems.

Meeting rooms were suited up with either Sharp LCD monitors or Da-Lite front projection screens with Panasonic ultra-wide throw projectors; and Barco ClickShare wireless presentation and collaboration systems to provide media source connectivity. For meetings that require the participation of remote team members, Pembina’s video conferencing meeting rooms, along with some of the executive boardrooms, are integrated with Cisco video conferencing systems, Tannoy ceiling flush mounted speakers, Clockaudio hypercardiod table mics with push to talk capability, Crestron DigitalMedia presentation system, and Crestron FusionRV remote asset management software was deployed along with Crestron TPMC-4SM touch panels with room scheduling capability.

Applied Electronics Upgrades Shaw Media Master Control with New Video Wall Twenty-five million Canadians a week count on Shaw Media for their news, information and entertainment. Shaw Media, part of Shaw

Communications Inc., proudly operates Global Television and 19 of the country’s most popular specialty channels, and their online companions, including Food Network Canada, HGTV Canada, HISTORY, Slice, National Geographic Channel and Showcase. Shaw Media also offers viewers strong local and national news programming from coast to coast.

Shaw Media reached out to Applied Electronics to provide a new video display wall solution for their master control room, which monitors all 19 channels with numerous feeds broadcasted across Canada. The master control room previously had segmented video display walls composed of mixed technologies from different manufacturers. Shaw Media desired a more dynamic yet ergonomic setup for its master control operations staff that would offer a simplistic view of the video wall from which to control and monitor all the feeds.

Applied Electronics proposed a consolidated, seamless display wall solution from Barco that met the requirements of the Shaw Media team, including an extensive evaluation process where key Shaw Media engineers conducted a manufacturer site visit in Anaheim, California, to gain insight on the selected technology and Barco’s product development, quality control and test measures.

Applied Electronics 2015 Annual Ontario Golf TournamentAugust 10th marked the 29th anniversary of the Applied Electronics 2015 Annual Ontario Golf Tournament.

With tremendous support from our generous sponsors, we were honoured to have so many customers, representing a good cross section of the industry, attend this marquee client appreciation event. The day started out beautifully with sunny skies, and although Mother Nature brought the showers to Nobleton in the afternoon, it did not stop many golfers in our tournament from continuing their game on the green – some even finishing all 18 holes! Now that’s dedication to the Game!

We sincerely thank all of the technology partners whom helped to make this day possible. We appreciate the ongoing support of this event and its tradition, and we hope you enjoyed the day at Nobleton Lakes Golf Club as much as we did.

We look forward to another tremendous tournament next year (minus the uncooperative weather, of course).
