Editions, Openness & Integrations
Edition ladder: Express+ (small, single-site systems) → Professional+ (mid-sized systems) → Expert (advanced integrity and resilience) → Corporate (mission-critical and distributed operations). We license correctly the first time and handle Care Plus renewals.

Certified Milestone Design, Installation and Support
Boston High Tech provides end-to-end Milestone services for commercial properties and organizations across Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey. We start with a site review and a clear discussion of users, operating requirements, existing systems, future growth and project constraints. Our team then develops a practical scope covering equipment, pathways, network needs, integration, testing and handoff.
What a complete project can include
- On-site assessment and review of existing infrastructure
- System design, equipment selection and written project scope
- Cabling, mounting, termination, configuration and integration
- Device-by-device testing, labeling and project documentation
- Administrator orientation, user training and support planning
Every proposal is tailored to the property. Reuse of existing wiring, readers, cameras, locks, network equipment or software is evaluated during discovery rather than assumed. Where another trade is required, we coordinate responsibilities with the client, general contractor, electrician, locksmith or IT team.
Our certified technology professionals support organizations across Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey from regional offices in Brighton, New York City and Skillman, with company headquarters in Charlotte. We keep private credential records, certificate numbers and individual certificate-holder information off the public website while maintaining the qualifications required for the work we perform.

Official Milestone XProtect software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
