Why Higher Ed AV Integrators Are Choosing ScreenBeam

When it comes to AV decisions in higher education, the stakes are high and so is the pressure to get it right. The tools you choose today will shape how your institution teaches, collaborates, and supports its people for years to come.

However, across campuses nationwide, IT teams and AV integrators are discovering that specifications only tell part of the story. Real-world performance, seamless integration, and long-term reliability require something deeper than feature lists.

They require solutions that understand the unique rhythm of academic life—the mixed device environments, the varied user skill levels, the need to scale quickly without breaking budgets or timelines. Most importantly, they require technology built specifically for how higher education actually works.

That’s exactly what’s driving more AV integrators and higher ed tech leaders to choose ScreenBeam as their wireless display solution.

Built for Higher Education From Day One

ScreenBeam is not a corporate tool retrofitted for campus life. It was designed with the classroom in mind—solving real instructional, IT, and integration challenges from the ground up.

That means no shoehorning. No “close enough.” And no compromises when it comes to how higher education actually works.

Instead, ScreenBeam offers:

  • App-free, platform-agnostic wireless display
  • Multi-user sharing and BYOD support
  • Seamless conferencing interop
  • Centralized management tools that scale
  • Real-world reliability across a wide range of room types

Whether you are outfitting one seminar room or an entire district of learning spaces, ScreenBeam adapts to the pace, scale, and realities of your campus environment.

Trusted by Those Who Know What’s at Stake

Today’s AV integrators are more than installers. They are consultants, strategists, and long-term partners. And they are choosing ScreenBeam because it helps them deliver results without adding complexity.

Recently recognized with HETMA’s Best Wireless Display Solution award, ScreenBeam’s credibility in higher education isn’t just claimed—it’s validated by the industry itself.

With deep experience in higher education, we speak the language of AV pros and IT teams alike. That means:

  • Faster onboarding
  • Fewer surprises during deployment
  • Reliable performance across mixed-device environments
  • Compatibility with existing displays and infrastructure

We don’t just offer products; we offer confidence. And that’s exactly what AV partners need when every room, every stakeholder, and every deadline matters.

One of the biggest reasons institutions and integrators choose ScreenBeam is the value it adds beyond wireless display.

The Central Management System (CMS) provides IT teams with centralized visibility and control, enabling easy monitoring of devices, deployment of updates, and maintenance of receiver health at scale.

Alongside CMS, the Administrative Tools Bundle extends the impact of every display.

  • Message Manager for instantaneous, targeted announcements
  • Alert+ for real-time emergency notifications through integrations like Raptor EMS
  • Digital Signage+ for wayfinding and daily messaging

Considering all this, ScreenBeam becomes a true platform for communication, safety and campus-wide connection.

Designed to Grow With You

No two campuses are the same. That’s why flexibility matters—not just in devices, but in deployment.

With ScreenBeam FLEX, integrators can deliver cost-effective wireless display in small spaces and larger lecture halls, making it a budget-friendly choice that scales without sacrificing performance. The 1100 Plus brings advanced capabilities for high-demand environments, supporting multi-OS casting, multi-user sharing, and reliable performance in busy rooms with complex needs.

And because both solutions work with displays already in place, there is no need for expensive tear-outs or construction delays. That means:

  • Faster timelines
  • Less disruption
  • Easier buy-in from stakeholders
  • A smoother path from pilot to full rollout

Choose With Confidence

There’s a reason more AV integrators are recommending ScreenBeam—and more higher ed institutions are embracing it as their standard.
It is not just what the technology does. It is what it removes:

  • Delays and support tickets
  • Training overhead for faculty and staff
  • Costly software subscriptions or licenses
  • Unnecessary infrastructure upgrades

And it is what it adds:

  • Freedom to connect from any device, app-free
  • Flexibility to deploy across diverse room types
  • Visibility and control with CMS
  • A more affordable total cost of ownership compared to similar solutions
