4.1 General system architecture
4.1.1 Components
Confidea G3 is a wireless conference system offering conferencing capabilities over a robust
wireless link. Depending on the model, these facilities include discussion, voting and/or language
distribution.
The units (delegates/chairman) are table top units that make a wireless link to a Wireless
Conference Access Point called WCAP G3. This Access Point has a powerful built-in web server
that allows configuring and monitoring of the system from any PC or mobile device through a
standard internet browser.
4.1.2 Standalone system
A stand-alone Confidea wireless system offers basic discussion and voting. (Depending on the
model).
In this case there are no connections to other systems, except for the Confidea WCAP that
can be connected to a LAN network for monitoring and configuring.
The Confidea access point (WCAP) will in this set-up act as a small central unit, offering all
the functionality for a basic discussion application.
