Uber Deploys 850+ PanaCast Cameras Worldwide
We are delighted to share the news that Altia Systems, Zoom and the Uber team have collaborated to deploy 850+ Zoom Rooms across Uber’s 400+ global office estate using the PanaCast Intelligent Vision camera system.
Uber is celebrated for revolutionising peer-to-peer ridesharing, taxi cabs, food delivery, bicycle-sharing, and transportation and for being at the cutting edge of moving its customers around as efficiently as possible through its adoption of the latest in technology.
Uber has bolstered its internal communications systems with more than 850 PanaCast-equipped Zoom Rooms throughout it’s worldwide office estate in order to streamline its enterprise-scale video communications technology.
Uber chose PanaCast to help reduce operational costs, enhance the user experience, grow utilisation and improve productivity and they are now realizing all of these benefits.
The camera systems are being used to connect more than 18,000 Uber employees in hundreds of offices across the world.
“When people walk into a conference room, they don’t want to struggle with the technology – they want it to just work. PanaCast provides that while significantly enhancing employee productivity. That’s why we’ve deployed hundreds of PanaCast devices across Uber’s conference rooms globally,” explained Ravi Sharma, Head of Collaboration and AV Service at Uber”.
“Uber’s rapid growth required an innovative IT solution to manage large-scale global deployments,” said Altia Systems VP for software engineering, Naveed Alam. “We worked with Uber’s AV and IT teams to deliver an enterprise grade, zero-touch support and manageability solution that enables PanaCast devices to be updated and configured remotely as new technology develops. It combines seamlessly with the PanaCast fundamentals of 100 percent video, audio and big data coverage to optimise virtual collaboration within a global company.”

Well done to everyone who attended, got to the finals, supported the awards and helped. Well done also to the organisers for arranging such a great celebration in the 20th anniversary of the awards.
It was great to be rewarded and recognised in such an incredibly innovative industry and we were delighted to be given a Highly Commended Award in the Collaborative Produce of the Year category.
But most importantly, it was great to be there and to support best practice and help raise industry standards in our industry.
We had an incredible night and one that we will certainly remember for a long time to come!
Congratulations to all the AV Awards winners!
The competition in every category this year was extremely tough. Each and every entrant can be so proud of what has been achieved this year.
"More than 2500 organisations in 38+ countries are using the PanaCast daily to improve their communication and productivity.
Over 200 universities are now adopting the PanaCast for lecture capture and huddle room deployments."
“(PanaCast 2) is a very different form factor than the usual 1080p camera that we are using elsewhere in the lab. You can see it has no seams and it’s a very good picture quality.”

“The actual image captured by the camera when we tried it in a lecture theatre (300+ seat) was perfect. Every seat in the frame, handled the lighting conditions well, good focus, seamlessly stitched. Very impressed.”

“The panoramic view allowed me to see all five remote participants at the same time, and the 4k resolution provided great visual detail – allowing me to feel ‘connected’ to everyone in the meeting.”

“We chose the PanaCast 2 video camera because it gives an immersive sense of participation to remote meeting participants. With PanaCast 2, there is no need to squeeze together to get into the scene or waste time panning and zooming like with a typical conference room camera.”
