Intercom Systems Designed for Behavioral Health.

Robust enough for a secure environment. Unobtrusive enough for a therapeutic one.

The Right Balance of Security and Care.

Behavioral health facilities need intercom infrastructure that handles the physical demands of a secure environment without creating the institutional feel that undermines therapeutic spaces. The MicroComm DXL delivers both. Tamper-resistant. Clinically appropriate. Backed by a manufacturer that has been trusted in secure institutional environments for over 50 years.

The Standard That Keeps Getting Specified.

Design professionals do not keep specifying MicroComm DXL out of habit. They specify it because it has a track record in correctional environments that alternatives cannot match. The Utah State Correctional Facility. The Edmonton Remand Centre. Washington State correctional facilities. These are not pilot projects. They are large-scale, long-term installations that have validated the platform’s performance under real institutional conditions over years.

Harding has been manufacturing intercom systems from Edmonton, Alberta since 1969. Every MicroComm DXL is built under ISO 9001 certified processes and backed by manufacturer-direct technical support that remains in place for the full service life of the system. We still support systems that were installed in the 1990s. When a design professional specifies MicroComm DXL, they are specifying a system with the manufacturer standing directly behind it, not a product that will be discontinued the moment the next generation arrives.

What we they say about us

Harding systems are specified and installed in the most demanding institutional environments in North America. Where communication infrastructure cannot be compromised, our solutions, including the Axis product line (manufactured by our UK partner Advanced), are the standard of record.

Behavioral health projects have very specific requirements. The Harding team understood the environment from the first conversation, and the system has performed exactly as the facility required.
