For both existing and future VC rooms the requirement is for Managed Support (ex. Engineers, SMEs) to ensure operational integrity. Finally, there will be a limited number of requirements to move VC rooms from one facility to another. The total number of rooms is: 377 (existing) and 180 (future projections) •305 Existing VC Rooms •12 Existing Customized VC Rooms – Note, A customized room involves integrating different brands of hardware and software to seamlessly work as a single unit. It may have a unique touch control system with specialized functions and layouts per system. They can be used for virtual events and immersive internal collaboration. •60 Existing Smart Conference Rooms (SCRs) - Note, SCRs integrate new technology and a one-touch solution that allows participants to launch meetings directly from a tablet inside the conference room. This setup creates a streamlined, user-friendly experience by adding modern equipment and centralized controls. •180 Future VC Rooms (projected).
