Short description

In summary, the force requires a solution that is intuitive, accessible and easily useable for all levels of users, providing a consistent experience regardless of the size of the room, e.g., good audio coverage, camera shows all positions, screens large enough to be useable when presenting. Many of the current solutions in place are none of these and over time have got to a point where at worst the equipment doesn’t work and at best gives an inconsistent experience to the users, never knowing what they will get before they turn up to a room. As some rooms are “ok”, these rooms will need to be evaluated at the time of rollout and either left “as is” or adapted to the new standard.
