Ideal For

Training & Certification

Starter kits are the recommended hardware package for ICT’s Protege certification courses. They allow trainees to complete hands-on exercises in a controlled environment with real production hardware.

Demonstrations

Sales engineers and integrators use starter kits to provide live demonstrations to prospective customers, showcasing the capabilities of the Protege platform without needing a full site installation.

Small Installations

For single-door or small-site deployments, a starter kit provides a cost-effective, all-in-one package that reduces procurement complexity and ensures hardware compatibility out of the box.
