EXPANDED INFORMATION OF AVoIP INSIGHT PRESENTATIONS

The AV over IP Landscape — Convergence, Standards and the Road Ahead

As organisations accelerate digital transformation, AV over IP (AVoIP) has moved from niche deployments to mainstream infrastructure strategy. This presentation explores the current AVoIP landscape — from 1GbE to 10/25 GbE networks — and examines how convergence with IT is reshaping system design, scalability and long-term investment decisions.

We will unpack the evolving standards ecosystem, including the role of open frameworks, interoperability initiatives and the growing importance of security, network architecture and bandwidth optimisation. Attendees will gain clarity on when to deploy compressed versus uncompressed solutions, how to balance performance with cost, and what to consider when future-proofing large-scale enterprise, education and mission-critical environments.

AVoIP Deployment in the Real World: Design, Integration, and Outcomes

AV over IP is reshaping how organisations think about their AV infrastructure. Not just as a technology upgrade, but as a smarter way to build, manage, and grow.

This session draws from real deployments to cut through the theory and focus on what actually matters in practice: planning a migration that holds up under real conditions, working across teams to get alignment, and designing systems that stay manageable as requirements change.

We’ll walk through the key decisions that define a successful AVoIP project, from network readiness and latency to centralised control and long-term scalability, and share the lessons that only come from doing it live.

Whether you’re evaluating AVoIP for the first time or already in the planning stages, this session will give you a clearer picture of what good looks like, what to watch out for, and how to build a case that lands with both technical teams and the people holding the budget.
