MUMBAI, August 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Implements an Audio Visual System to
Build a State-of-the-art Convocation Hall
IIT Bombay, one of the premier
engineering institutes of India, today
announced it has implemented an Audio
Visual System to build a State-of-the-art
Convocation Hall by joining hands with
AGC Networks Limited, (BSE: 500463 and
NSE: AGCNET), a Global ICT solutions
provider and integrator in Unified
Communication, Network Infrastructure,
Data Centre & Virtualization and
Enterprise Applications to build
capabilities of the esteemed educational
institution. The success story of
collaborative technology solutions
deployment in IIT Bombay's convocation
hall further demonstrates, AGC Networks
commitment towards serving customized
solutions for its customers across sectors
including education segment in India.
Inaugurated by the Prime Minister of
India on the occasion of the 50th year of
convocation, IIT Bombay's convocation
hall has evolved to be a state-of-art
convocation hall, involving government

Over the last 53 years, IIT Bombay has an
esteemed recognition of generating
around 39,000 engineers and scientists
through its quality curriculum, world-
class faculty and strong research groups
in varied areas of science and technology
that are making substantial contributions
to national projects. However, with the
growing number of about 14 academic
departments across six centers, one
school and three interdisciplinary
programmes, the institution had the need
to upgrade its facility for convocational
occasions strictly under short deadlines
and challenges unforeseen. Being a
worldwide leader in the field of
engineering education and research, the
institution required a technology solution
provider who would understand the
ground realities, ensure synchronization
of the several projects running in parallel
to deliver a greater capacity auditorium
for the convocation ceremony.
Understanding the specific need for the
IIT Bombay, AGC went beyond the role of
a solution integrator and helped IIT in
elevating the experience of the
convocation hall. Through regular site
visits and consultation, AGC advised the
client to make changes in their
conduiting. AGC's consultation led to
changes which were beneficial to IIT as it
helped in substantial savings of cabling
costs and enabled easier maintenance of
the equipment. In spite of all the site
related and design related challenges,
AGC synchronized with all the vendors/
teams for deploying the Audio Visual
system to finally build the state-of-the-art
Convocation Hall.
Commenting on the deployment, Dr. N
Venkataramani, Dean (IPS), IIT Bombay
said, "IIT Bombay highly appreciates the
dedication shown by AGC team for the
successful completion of the project,
within the stringent timelines, to our
satisfaction."
"We are extremely delighted to be part of
the state-of-art capability buildup of IIT
Bombay and it is indeed a matter of pride
to be the technology partners of choice
for this esteemed institution," said Mr. S.
K. Jha, MD and CEO, AGC Networks. "At
AGC Networks our endeavor is to create
success stories through our technology
solutions such that customers receive
best returns on their technology
investment."
