As of 1999 the UNO started to equip conference rooms with TCS5500 system. Housed at the Palais des Nations, the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) serves as the representative office of the Secretary-General at Geneva. A focal point for multilateral diplomacy, UNOG services more than 8,000 meetings every year, making it one of the busiest conference centers in the world. With more than 1,600 staff, it is the biggest duty stations outside of United Nations headquarters in New York.

As of today UNOG has equipped 16 conference rooms with the Televic 5500 conference system. The TCS5500 solution has been selected as the system of choice for several reasons:

 

Quick Facts

Televic installed:

  • 16 Conference rooms
  • 2415 Delegate stations
  • 230 Interpreter desks
  • Centralized control
  • Customization: As the Palais des Nations is a “protected monument” changes to meeting rooms have to be done in total respect of the original concept. This means that delegate panels have to be customized to fit the original furniture.
     
  • Scalability: The TCS5500 is ideal as a scalable platform to cope with the variety in room sizes. At the UNOG rooms range from 40 to 360 delegates and 8 to 20 interpreter desks.
     
  • Full Central Control: Using the Televic extensive software control, all conference rooms can be controlled from one central control room. Due to the large number of meeting rooms as well as the size of the complex (600m long), the conference server needed a supervisor module allowing to control all meeting rooms over the IP network.
