Barco Named Sponsor of Unified Communications Sector at Mediatech Africa

The event takes place from 30 June to 2 July at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg.

At Mediatech Africa, the Unified Communications sector brings together technologies used to support modern workplaces, hybrid collaboration and real-time communication. This includes conferencing platforms, collaboration displays, room systems and wireless presentation tools used across corporate, education and public sector environments.

Barco’s presence in this sector is led by ClickShare, its wireless meeting room system designed to simplify conferencing, collaboration and presentation. ClickShare connects laptops and mobile devices to a room’s display, audio and video equipment without the need for cables. Meetings can be started in seconds using a button, app or control panel.

The system supports both wireless conferencing and wireless presentation, allowing users to run video calls using the room’s AV setup or share content in face-to-face meetings, with a consistent experience across different spaces.

For organisations, ClickShare is built to fit into existing IT environments. It supports secure network integration, centralised management through the XMS Cloud platform, and provides analytics to help manage meeting room usage and performance.

Nabil Boujri, Sales Director France, Benelux, Southern Europe & Africa at Barco, comments:
“Mediatech Africa provides an opportunity to engage with both integration partners and end users across the region. It’s an important platform to demonstrate how solutions like ClickShare support more effective collaboration in meeting spaces and hybrid environments.”

Mediatech Africa is the continent’s largest trade show for Pro AV, broadcast, film and live event technology. The show attracts professionals working across corporate AV, IT, system integration, content production and live event environments.
