All these reasons finally led to choose the Advantis New Generation model. Which also offers to the operators a great capacity to organize the wiring and intelligent connection systems in a totally ergonomic space.
On the other hand, the crisis room was proposed with a perfect integration of retractable monitors and great connectivity capacity, thus providing a flexible and functional solution for various types of presentation and at the same time very comfortable.
