# The campus that tested its way to a standard

Solstice won a head-to-head against ClickShare and AirMedia — then cloud analytics decided which rooms got Pods first.

## The challenge

Stevens needed to move its classrooms off VGA and HDMI at the podium to wireless, networked AV — without adding dongles or hubs for the IT team to buy, stock and manage.

## The deployment

After rigorous testing that included Barco ClickShare and Crestron AirMedia, Stevens chose Solstice for reliability, ease of deployment and the interface. Cloud usage data — room usage, meeting frequency, devices per Pod — steered the campus-wide rollout and kept underused rooms off the purchase order. Pods sit alongside Epson projection, Samsung displays, Crestron control and Shure microphones.

> Designed from the ground up for collaboration and not just presentation, Mersive is leading the category.

Harry Ortiz, Associate Director of Academic Multimedia Services

## The outcome

Students are avid users, frequently connecting multiple devices to a single Pod. The networked AV also carried a rapid response during a cyber-attack, and the campus emergency alert system now integrates with Solstice so critical messages reach every Pod user.
