Large Boardroom • 40 Pax Capacity • 15m Room Depth

Project Overview

This proposal outlines three portable video conferencing options designed specifically for your large boardroom. Each solution is mounted on a heavy-duty wheeled trolley, making it easy to position the system wherever it's needed and store it away when not in use.

All options are designed around a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) approach, which is ideal for venues hosting members, guests, and external presenters.

Why BYOD is the Right Choice

BYOD means participants use their own laptops to host and join video conferences. There's no need for dedicated room accounts, logins, or calendars tied to the conferencing system. This approach offers significant advantages:

No room licensing fees
Works with any platform (Teams, Zoom, Google Meet)
Guests can present instantly
Familiar interface for users
No IT admin overhead
Future-proof flexibility

⚠️ Critical Site Constraints

The following constraints have shaped our recommendations. These are non-negotiable based on your room configuration:

No Table Cabling

The conference table has no power or data connectivity. This rules out wired touch panels (CTP18/CTP25) and any PoE devices on the table. All table-side hardware must be battery-powered or wireless.

15-Metre Room Depth

Standard front-of-room audio bars cannot reliably pick up voices from the back of a 15m room. Wireless expansion microphones are mandatory for all options to ensure everyone can be heard clearly.

User Control Method

IR remotes are unreliable at 15m range. Touch panels require cabling. The approved solution uses the WPP30 dongle's built-in software to control camera, volume, and mute directly from the presenter's laptop.

Portable Requirement

All options are mounted on a heavy-duty wheeled trolley (rated >90kg, VESA 800×600 compatible) for easy repositioning and storage when not in use.
