With a constant programme of seminars, lectures and conferences taking place in the facility's many theatres and classrooms, it is vital that this knowledge can be shared, and the word passed bi-directionally.
However, these classrooms had been functioning as stand-alone units until the faculty contacted technology distribution company, Parma-based Audio Link srl. Proprietor, Stefano Cantadori, knew immediately that QSC's components could be used to establish a network and save the University money.
"Although the previous system did not have networking capabilities, it had only recently been commissioned," stated Cantadori. "Therefore we had to provide an alternative solution as economically as possible."
Four main classrooms and lecture rooms upstairs, along with the 500-seat Auditorium Giovanni Paolo II, were to be connected to the new network. This was designed using the CobraNet digital backbone of QSC's proprietary QSControl.net platform.
