Lycée Français Du Caire deploys Mersive Technologies Solstice Collaboration Platform.
Collaboration Begins with ‘We’
How WeWork creates frictionless collaboration by standardizing on Mersive’s collaboration platform, Solstice, across more than 500 locations and 15,000 Solstice Pods.
WeWork builds coworking spaces where people and companies come together, get inspired, and do their best work. Since opening its first location in New York City in 2010, WeWork has grown into a global network of more than 500 workspaces in 39 countries that empower tomorrow’s world at work.
user-friendly collaboration systems designed for a wide range of working styles. Mersive’s Solstice platform not only meets that requirement, offering nearly instantaneous sharing and collaboration, but allows WeWork to integrate their booking systems with Mersive’s Dynamic Digital Signage for a better user experience, more cost-efficient use of WeWork spaces, and the opportunity to tap into new sources of revenue.

Lycée Français Du Caire Selects Mersive for Wireless Screen-Sharing Collaboration
The Lycée Français du Caire (LFC), the French high school of Cairo, is a prominent French international school in Cairo, Egypt. It is part of the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad) network, which ensures that French educational standards are maintained across its schools worldwide. The school offers a curriculum that follows the French national education system, providing education from preschool to the baccalauréat, the French high school diploma–K12 as it’s known stateside.
Known for its multicultural environment, the school welcomes students from various nationalities, promoting a bilingual education in French and Arabic, with English also being taught as a foreign language. The institution prides itself on its strong academic performance and its commitment to nurturing global citizens who are well-prepared for higher education and future careers.
For Faculty Collaboration in K12 Education, LFC Relies on Mersive Solstice
Before deploying Mersive Solstice company-wide, WeWork put the solution through its paces, installing it at a few sites and spending several months evaluating it before ramping up. “Once we vetted Solstice, it was deployed quickly. We were buying Solstice Pods several thousand at a time. To date we’ve purchased around 15,000 Pods.”
With that many Pods over 500 locations, the solution had to be extremely reliable, scalable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage. “From a sheer manpower perspective, deploying any solution site by site is time-consuming and a huge task,” says Robinson. Solstice Cloud makes deploying new Pods simple. WeWork can simply plug the device in, register it to Solstice Cloud with the serial number, and the Pod comes online. WeWork can also manage its thousands of Pods from Solstice Cloud. For example, they can see in a moment’s notice if a Pod is down. They can also leverage configuration templates and schedule updates or change digital signage. Rich analytics let them collect data from spaces and use those insights to optimize room use. “You can now deploy Pods from anywhere,” says Robinson. “Solstice Cloud has been a big time saver for us when it comes to installing Solstice Pods.”
Web-Based Sharing Is a ‘Game Changer’
LFC required an innovative faculty boardroom using top technology for simple wireless sharing. Interactivo Digital Platforms—AV/IT integration firm serving Greece, Southeast Europe, Egypt, and North Africa—was up to the task, having standardized on Mersive Solstice wireless collaboration platform in all of its K12 education projects and beyond.
Interactivo worked closely with LFC to enhance their educational and meeting spaces using Samsung Electronics screens inset into the conference room table, giving each meeting participant a view of what’s happening onscreen for a more personalized experience. Mersive Solstice Pods feed these displays, allowing meeting participants to easily share content and screens using their own devices.
“Mersive Solstice is highly regarded for its wireless collaboration and presentation capabilities, making it a popular choice in K12 educational settings all over the world… It allows multiple users to connect and share content wirelessly from their devices to a shared display, eliminating the need for cables and adapters. This system supports simultaneous content sharing from multiple users, fostering real-time collaboration. Its cross-platform compatibility ensures seamless connectivity across various devices. Plus, the user interface is easy for anyone to use, whether they know the system or not. There is no learning curve here.”
– George Khayat, CEO and Founder of Interactivo
TOA microphones and speakers deliver crystal-clear sound to accompany the compelling visual displays. Elsewhere on campus, Interactivo outfitted all LFC’s classrooms with its 4K touch displays, transforming lessons into interactive experiences and making learning engaging and dynamic.
“Our dedication to innovation has led us to deliver smart solutions that enhance both educational and collaborative spaces. Mersive is a big part of that. We’re thrilled with the positive impact our technology has had on LFC Schools, creating a brighter future for students and educators alike,” adds Khayat.
