Introducing aritificial intelligency IoT (AIoT) technology for innovative upgrades to traditional central control empowers audiovisual spaces, evolving from single-device control to predictive operations and maintenance. This transformation facilitates new application scenarios, reduces operation and maintenance costs, enhances user experience, and achieves a high return on investment.
AIoT-enabled audiovisual spaces management are anticipated to become the predominant form of commercial application from 2022 to 2025. Consequently, the market for China’s AIoT-integrated conferencing systems is expected to experience significant growth. The AIoT-based audiovisual intelligent system demonstrates commendable compatibility and openness, enabling the realization of additional cloud-based functions through existing equipment. AIoT-enhanced audiovisual space management elevates business collaboration, making it more high-quality, efficient, and intelligent. This approach serves as a typical and exemplary model for enhancing collaboration density and promoting industrial economic development.

Panel Discussion 2 – Legacy Network vs Converaged Network
In the contemporary landscape of project management, networks assume a critical role. Often, we approach network configurations in a highly specialized manner, segmenting them into distinct categories such as audio, video, control, and data networks, each implemented in relative isolation. This approach, while effective in minimizing interference during implementation, and facilitates clear and concise troubleshooting, will also undeniably increase the costs of your project.
So, here comes the idea of a converged network – the integration of various sub-networks through some central system, seeking to harmonize their functions without drastically affecting their autonomous operation and troubleshooting procedures. This reduces the upfront investment required in hardware such as network switches, and will likely improve the ease of network operation and maintenance. This discussion will focus on the technical aspects of converged networks, and walk everyone through some common troubleshooting problems.

Panel Discussion 3 – Standardization for the Conference Rooms
When considering the landscape of IT standardization, our minds immediately jump to organizations including IEEE and IETF. Our goal of achieving a tenfold increase in bandwidth every decade hinges on the establishment of standardized network infrastructure. In the AV industry, despite the presence of respected organizations such as AES and SMPTE, their primary directive remains around guiding manufacturers in standardizing their equipment. We are quite a ways away from achieving any sort of industry standardization for specific applications. The digitization of the real economy, the increased dependency on networks and artificial intelligence, are trends that can’t be ignored. Corporate office meetings are becoming more frequent and with larger groups. We are no longer dealing with only how to design meeting rooms, we’re also generally trying to make meetings more convenient and efficient.
The clustering of enterprise conference construction has also promoted a diversified approach to the solutions we develop. From compact collaboration spaces like Huddle Rooms, to the standard meetings in conference rooms, and further to the expansive capabilities of large multifunctional conference lecture halls, these differences in application requirements and scenarios continually necessitate the development of lightweight, integrated, and comprehensive solutions. So, how should we define the feasibility of a solution. What are the technical principles we should adhere to? Among them, AVIXA’s standards can guide AV system design within a general scope. Everyone is, however, more concerned about how we could skillfully apply standardization in the specific construction of conference rooms. As such, conference construction needs a strategic approach to standardization. A high-quality project requires appropriate product selection, sound design planning, up-to-standard delivery, and a commitment to an excellent customer experience. These four aspects are not only related, but are complementary to each other. The final format of the conference will be driven by ecology, which will continue to stimulate the “intelligent” transformation of corporate
conferences.
