Education
Skype for Business with Enterprise Voice
Logitech Meetup and Logitech GROUP
The University of Tasmania is ranked in the top 2% of universities worldwide (ARWU 2016), boasting centres in 55+ locations and field researchers sprawled across the globe.
The challenge
Improve access to quality education across Tasmania
Regional Tasmania has limited access to quality education because many courses are only offered at big-city campuses.
UTAS wanted to increase the demand for university degrees in remote areas by connecting those locations with their wider ecosystem through real-time collaboration.
Because UTAS centres are spread all across the globe, the solution had to be cost effective, easy to move from one room to another, and easy for anyone to use.
The Solution
Video collaboration rooms + mobile computers on wheels
UTAS installed Logitech Meetup and Logitech GROUP at each of their locations. They were able to build 50+ shared collaboration spaces for the same price as 20 with other providers.
UTAS also needed setups that were movable, so they designed their own Mobile Computers On Wheels — trolley systems with Logitech cameras and Windows 10 PCs — which gave any room access to video conferencing through Skype for Business, Zoom, etc.
