Today, educators and students can share information and collaborate in powerful new ways that would be unimaginable just a decade ago. But universities are under increasing pressure to provide students with the best possible learning environments, as competition continues to increase and students have more choice than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>To stay on the cutting edge and attract the next generation of students, modern universities need state-of-the-art network solutions that offer campus-wide communication, lightning-fast media streaming and seamless remote collaboration tools. Furthermore, these technologies need to be extremely flexible to fit a wide range of applications, scalable to accommodate growth and changing needs, and intuitive enough for anyone to use.<\/p>\n<p>HARMAN Professional Solutions networked AV systems put the latest AV-over-IP technologies to work, empowering students and educators and providing universities with an edge in the constantly-evolving market of higher education.
