Solstice is a wireless collaboration software for meeting and learning environments that allows users to easily share content from their laptop, mobile device, or tablet to the in-room display. The Solstice Pod connects to the room monitor or projector and Wi-Fi or Ethernet network to facilitate collaborative content sharing. The Mersive Solstice platform transforms meeting spaces into collaboration hubs, allowing groups to work in more dynamic and productive ways. 

The Solstice App is currently the recommended way to share content in University Classrooms.  In non-University Classroom locations, connecting to Solstice via Miracast or Airplay has been added.
