Would you like to know
more details?

Sometimes questions simply remain unanswered, such as: What exactly is a video conferencing system and what video conferencing solutions does FORTÉ offer? Here we answer the most frequently asked questions briefly and succinctly - so that you can have your say from now on!

What exactly is a video conferencing system and what are its advantages?
A video conferencing system is defined as all software and hardware components that are technically required to hold a video conference. In addition to the conference platform, for example the Microsoft Teams app, a video conferencing system also includes cameras, microphones and displays. A comprehensive room system ensures that all components used are optimally networked with each other and function perfectly. Compared to conventional desktop systems, several people can meet together in a suitably equipped room without having to use additional devices. In addition, image clarity and speech intelligibility are always of the highest quality. Thanks to professional video conferencing solutions, you can collaborate efficiently across locations and also save time and travel costs.

What room systems are available?
FORTÉ offers room systems with three different conference platforms: Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx and Zoom. The hardware used comes from different manufacturers, but is always certified for use with the respective platform. This means you can make optimum use of all the features of the respective apps in your video conferencing system. In addition to the various platforms, our room systems also differ depending on your requirements and the size of the room. Your needs therefore determine which software and hardware we recommend for your video conferencing solution.

Is a certain infrastructure necessary?
On the one hand, video conferencing systems require a technical infrastructure: electricity and a network connection are basic requirements for implementation. Software licenses for one of the three communication platforms (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco WebEx) are also required - you can of course also purchase these from us. Secondly, there are spatial requirements for video conferencing systems: The conference room in question should be suitable as such for video conferencing. Lighting conditions and acoustics, for example, have a major influence on the camera image and speech intelligibility. We take all of this into account when planning and implementing your video conferencing solution. Let us advise you individually!

What does a complete video conferencing system cost?
The price of a complete video conferencing system depends on various factors. The room size and the requirements that the system should fulfill for your purposes are the most important factors. The cost of our video conferencing systems can vary greatly depending on your individual requirements and wishes: You should invest between 10,000 and 30,000 euros for comprehensive video conferencing systems. FORTÉ will advise you at every stage of the planning process to help you find the best possible video conferencing solution for your needs and budget - contact FORTÉ to find out about prices for professional video conferencing solutions.

Does FORTÉ also offer a maintenance service for video conferencing systems?
Planning, installation and support during ongoing operation - with FORTÉ you get the entire service from a single source. For you, this means that we plan the optimum video conferencing solution for your needs, install the room system and also operate it in the long term. Our "Plan, Build, Operate" approach has proven itself many times over in practice. We operate more than 2,500 video conferencing systems for various customers around the world. The continuous training and further education of our employees enables first-class service and excellent maintenance by trained on-site teams.

What does "hybrid working" mean?
The term "hybrid working" refers to a mixture of working in the office and working remotely from home or on the move. The spatial flexibility of employees has been increasing for many years and many professions are therefore no longer carried out exclusively on site. However, this is only possible if the technical requirements for effective collaboration are in place both in the office and in the home office. Hybrid video conferencing systems offer you new possibilities and make your company fit for the future - at FORTÉ you will find video conferencing solutions for your individual needs

How are video conferencing systems controlled?
Our video conferencing systems can be easily controlled via an app. Depending on the system, you can either use your own mobile devices or the corresponding touch panels of the room systems. Control via voice control is also possible with FORTÉ's video conferencing solutions. For us, the more intuitive the operation is for you, your colleagues, partners and customers, the better.

Is FORTÉ the right partner for you?
We believe that media technology, smart building and video conferencing systems belong together. Our plan-build-operate approach has already proven itself many times over in practice. Your economic advantage: planning, installation and service from a single professional source. The proof of the pudding is in the eating? We think so too.
