Smart classrooms across the PSAU campus

A campus-wide upgrade of classrooms, meeting rooms and an auditorium to an advanced, interactive audio-visual level — delivered by Datacore with ARCOM.

Smart classrooms across the PSAU campus

Background

Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University set out to upgrade its classrooms, meeting spaces and auditorium across two buildings to an advanced, interactive AV level, so students and faculty could work together smoothly. Datacore delivered it in partnership with Arabian Computer Supplies (ARCOM).

The challenge

Assigning wireless-microphone frequencies across more than 65 classrooms and meeting rooms in a two-storey building takes long-term planning. Digital signage had to run over the existing network, power and cabling had to reach an occupied building without disturbing finished interiors, and everything had to be ready before term restarted.

The solution

Classrooms received smart interactive displays with built-in OPS PCs, wireless head-worn and hand-held microphones and ceiling-array microphones for unified communications. The auditorium centres on a fine-pitch 2.5 mm LED video wall with recording and playback, a digital podium, motorised curtains and acoustic fit-out.

Digital signage is published centrally from a remote server across the building's lobbies, integrated with the university's existing Arabic-capable system.

The result

Flexible, interactive teaching and meeting spaces with unified communications in every room, centrally managed signage, and better collaboration for students and faculty across the campus.
