With staff dispersed across Victoria and a large group of dedicated volunteers, St John Ambulance Victoria relies heavily on a range of regular meetings to keep everything on track. In 2022, the decision to relocate the organization’s headquarters to a new building in Melbourne presented the perfect opportunity to upgrade outdated meeting room equipment with a more modern solution.

Yealink’s MeetingBar Series, and MVC video conferencing systems were chosen for meeting rooms of all sizes, from small to extra-large. The Yealink MVC-BYOD Extender was also used to easily support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) setups.

With the eight meeting rooms now in regular use, participants are finding the digital equipment intuitive to use, and most important, reliable.

Gone are the days of fumbling with complicated preparation steps. Staff and volunteers can now focus on their important work without needing to rely on the IT team for help. St John Ambulance people connect effortlessly, working perfectly on the first try every time.

The MVC940 has transformed the meeting experience at St. John Ambulance Victoria.

Yealink’s easy deployment DNA requires minimal technical know-how and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams. The user-friendly Yealink solution allows team members to join meetings and share presentations effortlessly.

As part of the upgrade at St. John Ambulance Victoria,Yealink RoomPanel displays were installed at the entrance of each meeting room, providing clear visibility of the room’s current status and enabling users to easily book future meetings directly from the panel.
