This innovative system facilitates real-time teamwork and effortless content sharing, eliminating the need for cables or specialized software. As a result, it enhances the efficiency and dynamism of group discussions and presentations.

Navigating the vast array of available technologies in this domain can be a daunting task. The market is flooded with numerous solutions, each offering its own set of features and functionalities. However, our exceptional ASTROS wireless presentation solution stands out from the crowd. ASTROS combines unparalleled performance, user-friendly operation, and an unmatched assortment of essential presentation and collaboration tools. As a result, we proudly offer a comprehensive selection of ‘all-in-one’ classroom collaboration technology solutions that surpass all others in the industry.

1. Scalable Active Learning Solutions

ASTROS Learning is a scalable active solution perfect for active learning classrooms of all sizes. ASTROS Station supports up to 20 users connecting simultaneously. When multiple displays are present in the room, ASTROS enables the sharing of content to up to four displays simultaneously. Users have the option to share the same content or different content on these displays. Whether it’s a lecture or a group discussion, teachers can easily share their screen based on their teaching requirements. The most noteworthy aspect is its user-friendly nature. With just a few clicks, teachers can effortlessly create an exceptional interactive classroom experience.

2. Comprehensive Collaboration Tools

With ASTROS Learning, it doesn’t matter if you are using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone; you can wirelessly share your screen. If a student uses a laptop to talk about his vacation to peers, he can also share photos or other content from his smartphone at the same time. ASTROS supports four users/devices sharing content simultaneously, making discussions more efficient. When static content alone cannot fully convey an idea, the embedded whiteboard and collaboration tools help teachers and students illustrate and explain ideas in greater detail.

3. Easy Screen Sharing Control

In the market, it’s not easy to find a wireless presentation solution tailored for education. Most solutions don’t provide any screen-sharing control features, causing concerns about irrelevant content being shared. ASTROS addresses this with its Moderation feature, enabling teachers to have full control over the wireless screen-sharing process. Without installing any software, teachers can use any mobile device to preview each student's screen, check the connection status, and manage the content displayed. Teachers can also control screen sharing through the display itself. For more details, check out the article “Boosting Classroom Efficiency: How ASTROS Helps Teachers Control Screen Sharing.”

4. Flexible Network Integration

Administrators can easily set up devices to use a school network while guest devices use a separate guest network with Internet access. This ensures the security of school data, as there is no possibility for routing data between different networks. This flexibility in network integration allows for a more customized and efficient learning environment design and setup.

5. Secure Data Privacy

ASTROS implements several mechanisms to help users secure data privacy. ASTROS utilizes TLS encryption for all communications and authenticated encryption for video and audio communications. To enhance data security, users can also set up passwords for control and management systems or login codes for screen sharing.
