Uber ATG renews its meeting rooms with Biamp technology

For small and medium-sized spaces, Devio has been used; while for the larger rooms Tesira has been chosen, together with TCM Beamtracking microphones.

The Uber division focused on developing safe and reliable transportation, Advanced Technologies Group (ATG), wanted to update the conference spaces at its three-story headquarters to promote greater ease of use of the technology present there, as employees found it difficult to use.

Garydavid Royce, senior design engineer at Uber, y Joey Loeffler, vice president of San Antonio Sound & Light, They understood that any new AV implementation had to be optimized for each particular space.. They knew that multiple configurations would be needed to adapt smaller meeting rooms to larger spaces tailored to all needs..

For small and medium spaces, Devio was used Biamp, trademark registered by AVIT Vision, for its sound features and ability to send audio via USB to eMax Minis, the codec used within the platform. For the largest rooms, Tesira was chosen, together with TCM Beamtracking microphones.

The criterion for the redesign was 'invisible comfort', a concept perfectly aligned with Biamp's general philosophy.

Thanks to its installation on the ceiling, TCM microphones shift the focus from technology to conversation, where it belongs. Beamtracking technology, present inside these microphones, It also serves to provide excellent audio, regardless of where the participant is within the space.

Microphone placement was critical to ensuring they reached their full potential.. Before installation, Tests were carried out to determine the correct pickup for each room in order to guarantee a uniform result in each one.

Devio's all-in-one design, oriented towards end users, allowed installers to calibrate the system, make fine adjustments to microphones and other configuration tasks without relying on an integrator.

The effect, for his part, provided the audio and video capabilities needed to meet the increased demands of Uber ATG's largest conference rooms and multi-purpose spaces. Conversations with the architectural team to ensure appropriate acoustic treatments were in place, They also helped make the reconfigured conference spaces as conducive to communication as possible..

By using Devio for small to medium sized rooms and Tesira for larger spaces, Uber ATG was able to implement 'invisible comfort' that allowed employees to stop struggling with technology and focus completely on the conversation at hand..
