Creating Smart Meeting Rooms with Intel® Unite™

Meeting rooms are designed to make it easy and efficient for participants. But often someone can’t connect a laptop to a projector because they don’t have the right wire, or people outside the room can’t see what’s on display in the room. Organizing meeting rooms can be challenging and make it difficult to work together. Businesses are changing the way they work and need to change the way they work to stay competitive. From new wireless solutions, to business-ready form factors, to advanced security, Intel has the solutions you need to modernize today’s business processes.

Increased efficiency of collaboration

Using mini-PCs based on Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors and Intel® Unite™ software, companies will be able to reach new levels of productivity and effective cooperation, transforming existing meeting rooms into “smart” meeting rooms with advanced networking capabilities and state-of-the-art security.

Intel Unite makes it convenient to work anywhere and prepare for events quickly and easily. Instead of adapters and external ports, the new solution relies on wireless networks to connect PCs to monitors, projectors or interactive whiteboards, using Intel Core vPro processor-based mini-PCs and Intel Unite software. Point-to-point data sharing capability allows you to collaborate across conference room boundaries. Everyone can access work materials, leave comments, and quickly and easily share files.¹

Enhanced security and manageability for IT

With Intel Unite, event organizers send participants a unique PIN that enables them to join a meeting quickly and with a high level of security. PIN helps identify the owner so organizers can decide who can gain access. Data is encrypted with 256-bit Secure Sockets Layers SSL . The solution stays within your company’s virtual walls and is not dependent on third-party solutions.¹ Ease of deployment of Intel Unite in enterprise environments is key to ease of use for end users and IT departments. Intel Unite software is designed to integrate with existing deployment models and client software distribution methods. This approach provides convenience for IT departments in terms of management. With Intel vPro technology on the mini-PCs, IT can manage devices, update their software, and get them back up and running even when they’re turned off.

“Smart meeting rooms become a reality

Intel Unite works with most existing systems and lets you transform a traditional boardroom into a state-of-the-art meeting space without the expense and expense of a global remodel. Companies do not need to buy or install any new infrastructure, t.k. Intel Unite is compatible with popular platforms on the market. With Intel vPro technology, IT can leverage existing management tools, legacy systems and policies to reduce total cost of ownership.

Intel Unite is designed to integrate existing hardware and software systems for events into one simple solution. Modular, scalable design allows IT to plug and play with existing solutions and systems. Intel plans to make standard modules available so companies can experience the benefits and uses of the new system, including guest access solutions, Cisco* Telepresence integration, and lighting management. Intel Unite supports a variety of operating systems, including Windows* and Mac OS X*. Support for other operating systems will be implemented in the future.
