Wireless Collaboration & Presentation Systems

Wireless collaboration systems let people present from a laptop, tablet or phone to a room display without plugging in a cable. They support multi-user sharing, 4K resolution, annotation, guest access and encrypted connections, and they integrate with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and the room's existing control system.

The commercial case is simple: the cable is the single most common cause of a meeting starting late. A room with no cable has no wrong adapter, no damaged connector and no hunting for a dongle.

The three platforms most rooms come down to

• Barco ClickShare — a USB button the presenter plugs into their laptop and presses. Lowest learning curve of the three, and the one to specify where guests present often and nobody will install software.
• Mersive Solstice — software-based, running on a network appliance. Strongest for multi-user sessions where several people post content to the screen at once, and for campuses managing many rooms centrally.
• Crestron AirMedia — the choice where the room already runs Crestron control, since presentation and room control share one platform and one management layer.

All three do the core job. The decision is usually about guests, IT policy and what is already installed rather than feature lists.

Network and security come first

These are network devices, and in most organisations IT decides whether they go on the corporate network, a guest VLAN or their own isolated segment. That decision drives what is possible — a device on an isolated VLAN cannot be managed from the corporate network without a path opened for it.

Settle the network design with IT before ordering. It is the most common reason a wireless presentation rollout stalls after the hardware arrives.

What else the room needs

A wireless system replaces the cable, not the rest of the room. Pair it with a commercial display or interactive panel, and in rooms that also host video calls, with cameras and room audio. Where several rooms share a standard, room control keeps the user experience the same across all of them.

Creation Networks designs wireless collaboration into the room as a whole — platform selection against your IT policy, network design with your IT team, installation, and user training so the room gets used.
