One cloud tenant for 600+ learning spaces
A fragmented fleet of department-owned tenants became a single pane — and the AV team shipped 100+ projects in a year.
- 600+ learning spaces standardized
- 100+ AV projects in one year

The challenge
600+ learning spaces ran on outdated systems from multiple brands with inconsistent interfaces. Departments had bought their own Pods and opened their own cloud tenants, which blocked centralized troubleshooting and drove maintenance costs up.
The deployment
University Audio Visual Services made Solstice the wireless standard and, in 2023, migrated every Pod into a single cloud tenant: full fleet visibility, standardized branding and interface templates, centralized updates across all campuses. The mandate set hard criteria — latency under half a second, support for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and centralized management.
Students and professors expect wireless sharing to just work, like it does on their phones. Now, it does.
The outcome
New AV environments deploy significantly faster: over 100 projects completed in one year. Firmware updates and troubleshooting happen remotely instead of by service call, instructors broadcast content to multiple displays at once, and students share with no cables or dongles.
