Modern meeting rooms
More than just 4 walls and a table
The way how we work together has changed significantly. Digital tools and global teams render physical distances less and less relevant. In times of remote working, first-class meeting rooms are considerably gaining in importance as they not only serve as a collaboration hub, but they are also considered representative of a modern company.
The technical challenge
The facilities of modern meeting rooms are multi-faceted. Nowadays, mainly audio-visual solutions play the central role, besides conventional technology such as overhead projectors and whiteboards. Here, many companies reach their limits. Very often, the rental situation is a constraint, there is a space issue, or the company lacks the technical know-how to employ digital tools in a meaningful way. The integration of different systems, the safeguarding of top audio and video quality as well as simple operation set extremely high demands. Many businesses are not able to cope with these challenges without support.
Together with the partner company Panatronic, NTS supports to develop tailor-made and workable solutions – always focusing on the target to find the best possible implementation for the particular situation on site.
Acoustics: the underrated element
Room acoustics is an aspect that is commonly underestimated. Even the best video conferencing solution can be impaired by poor acoustics. Reverberation, echo and background noise render conversations incomprehensible and frustrating. Alongside proper room planning, microphones play a decisive role. Their position, directional characteristic and the employed technology have a direct impact on the sound quality.
Cisco: A leading provider of modern meeting rooms
Cisco has established itself as one of the leading providers of collaboration solutions. Cisco Systems offer a wide range of functions, starting at a simple video conference all the way to complex meeting management systems.
Yet, which platform is the right one? The choice is difficult amongst Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Cisco Webex. Each platform has its strength and weaknesses – here, one has to pay attention to the requirements and needs of the business. With Cisco Devices, users can quickly and easily dial in into different meeting platform. Cisco Devices support conventional standards and thus enable the participation in meetings on platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom as well – this usually without extra hardware. Additionally, devices by Cisco even offer many other functions in combination with the Webex platform.
