Product Overview
The Mersive Solstice Pod Gen3 SP-8000-E5-AL is a classroom wireless presentation system designed for higher education, K-12, and corporate training environments that require active instructor-led collaboration. This bundle pairs the Solstice Pod Gen3 hardware with an Unlimited Enterprise software license and a 5-year Active Learning subscription, giving instructors full control over multi-user screen sharing sessions from a centralized dashboard. As an education wireless collaboration Pod, it supports unlimited simultaneous users, making it well-suited for large lecture halls where any number of student devices may connect at once. The Solstice Active Learning classroom feature set adds instructor routing, student annotation, and audience engagement tracking to a proven BYOD wireless AV platform.
Product Description
The SP-8000-E5-AL combines the Mersive Solstice Pod Gen3 hardware with an Unlimited Enterprise license and a 5-year Active Learning subscription, providing a complete instructor display routing system for classrooms and training rooms. The Unlimited Enterprise license removes any cap on simultaneous connected users, which is critical for large lecture halls where dozens of student devices may need to share content at once. Active Learning adds capabilities that go beyond standard Solstice functionality: instructors can push any student's screen to the main display or route it to specific student screens, students can annotate shared content in real time, and the Active Learning API enables audience attention and engagement tracking as well as integration with LMS platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle. Importantly, this 5-year Active Learning purchase includes a perpetual right to use the Solstice Active Learning API for the life of the Pod, even after the subscription term expires, protecting your software investment for the hardware's full operational lifespan. The Pod supports BYOD connectivity across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices, with additional support for AirPlay and Miracast, so participants can connect without installing managed software in many cases. Solstice Cloud provides centralized management for large deployments, enabling IT administrators to push configuration updates, monitor room status, and manage firmware across an entire campus from a single dashboard. Solstice Conference integration allows the Pod to bridge wireless content sharing with video conferencing platforms, supporting hybrid classroom and meeting room scenarios. The hardware includes a 5-year limited hardware warranty matching the subscription term. A power supply (12VDC/2A) and HDMI cable are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Solstice Active Learning Subscription and what does it include?
The Solstice Active Learning Subscription is a software add-on for the Solstice Pod that enables education- and training-specific features beyond standard wireless presentation. It includes instructor screen routing (push any student's screen to the main display or to specific student screens), student annotation tools for shared content, and access to the Active Learning API for audience engagement tracking and LMS integration. The subscription term for this product is 5 years.
Q: What does the perpetual Active Learning API right included with the 5-year purchase mean in practice?
When you purchase the 5-year Active Learning subscription (SP-8000-E5-AL), Mersive grants a perpetual right to use the Solstice Active Learning API for the life of the Pod hardware — even after the 5-year subscription term expires. This means any custom LMS integrations or applications your institution builds using the Active Learning API will continue to function beyond the subscription period, protecting your development investment.
Q: What is the difference between Unlimited Enterprise and SGE Enterprise for Active Learning deployments?
The Unlimited Enterprise license (this product) supports an unlimited number of simultaneous connected users, making it appropriate for large lecture halls and open collaboration spaces with no defined user cap. The SGE Enterprise license supports up to 4 simultaneous users, which suits smaller seminar rooms, breakout rooms, and training spaces where a limited number of sources need to share content at once. Both license tiers support the full Active Learning feature set when paired with an Active Learning subscription.
Q: Does the hardware warranty term match the subscription term?
Yes. The SP-8000-E5-AL includes a 5-year limited hardware warranty, matching the 5-year Active Learning subscription term. This provides aligned coverage for both software and hardware throughout the deployment lifecycle.
Q: How does instructor screen routing work in a classroom setting?
With Active Learning enabled, the instructor opens the Solstice Active Learning dashboard on their device. Connected student devices appear in the dashboard. The instructor can then select any student's shared screen and push it to the main room display, or route it to specific student screens for peer review. This allows instructors to facilitate presentations, highlight student work, and direct attention without physically moving to each station.
Q: Can the Solstice Active Learning API integrate with LMS platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle?
Yes. The Active Learning API provides endpoints for audience engagement and attention tracking data that can be consumed by LMS platforms or custom institutional applications. Integration requires development work on the institution's side to connect the API with the target LMS. Mersive provides API documentation to support this development. The perpetual API right included with the 5-year purchase ensures these integrations remain functional for the life of the Pod hardware.
Q: Are a power supply and HDMI cable included with the SP-8000-E5-AL?
No. A power supply (12VDC/2A) and HDMI cable are sold separately and are not included in the box. Please ensure compatible accessories are procured as part of your room deployment. Contact sales@creationnetworks.net for accessory recommendations or bundle pricing.
Q: What network infrastructure is required for classroom deployment?
The Solstice Pod Gen3 supports both wired Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps via RJ45) and 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi. For optimal performance in high-density classrooms, a wired Ethernet connection to a managed switch is recommended. The Pod supports WPA2-Enterprise (802.1x) with RADIUS authentication, making it compatible with standard enterprise and campus network security policies. Sufficient wireless access point capacity in the room is required if using the Wi-Fi connection for participant devices.
