Manilla American Cemetery Teams Meeting Room Systems

ABMC uses Microsoft Teams as part of Microsoft 365 E5 to facilitate its staff’s daily internal and external collaboration and communication. ABMC has deployed Unified Communications integrated to Microsoft Teams with the objectives of streamlining its Voice-over-IP infrastructure and offering an easy-to-use all-in-one solution to ABMC staff to conduct their daily work.

ABMC needs to replace older VTC technology and install new certified Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) systems in Manila American Cemetery (MNAC).

   2. Limited (e.g., 1 or 2) physical equipment connectors/adapters
   
   
   3. Allow meeting organizer and participants to easily start and stop meetings with zero IT intervention.
