In today’s dynamic hybrid workplace, technology is redefining how teams collaborate.While traditional wired HDMI connections have been the standard for years, Wireless Presentation Systems (WPS) are rapidly taking over — offering speed, flexibility, and lower long-term costs.

Let’s explore a 5-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison between these two approaches for offices in India.

1. The Wired HDMI Setup

A typical Wired HDMI system involves cables, adapters, switchers, and wall or table connections.At first glance, it seems inexpensive, but hidden costs quickly add up.

Estimated 5-Year TCO (per meeting room):

Cost Component	Year 1	Year 2–5 (Maintenance/Upgrade)	5-Year Total
HDMI Cables, Switchers, Extenders	₹25,000	₹15,000	₹40,000
Labour, Installation, and Downtime	₹10,000	₹10,000	₹20,000
Compatibility Adapters (HDMI, USB-C, VGA)	₹10,000	₹10,000	₹20,000
Cable Damage/Replacement (avg 2x in 5 years)	₹0	₹10,000	₹10,000
Total Estimated Cost			₹90,000 per room

Beyond cost, HDMI systems also limit flexibility:

Users must find the right adapter for each laptop.
Cables wear out or get misplaced.
Meetings get delayed due to connection issues.
Room aesthetics are cluttered with cables and ports.

2. The Wireless Presentation System (WPS)

Enter the LatenTech Wireless Presentation System, designed for BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) environments.Made in Singapore, it connects laptops to room displays and cameras wirelessly — no HDMI, no adapters, no fuss.

Estimated 5-Year TCO (per meeting room):

Cost Component	Year 1	Year 2–5 (Maintenance/Upgrade)	5-Year Total
Wireless Presentation Unit (LatenTech WPS)	₹85,000	₹0	₹85,000
Zero Installation Cables	₹0	₹0	₹0
Software/Firmware Updates	Included	Included	₹0
Maintenance & Support	Minimal	₹5,000	₹5,000
Total Estimated Cost			₹90,000 per room

At first glance, the total cost seems similar.But the LatenTech WPS delivers 5 years of wireless freedom, zero downtime, and productivity gains that wired HDMI systems can’t match.

3. Productivity & Efficiency Gains

Over five years, wireless presentation systems like LatenTech WPS can save an average of 10–15 minutes per meeting in setup time.

In an office with 5 meetings per day, that’s over 200 hours saved per year — the equivalent of 25+ working days of lost productivity recovered!

Wireless presentation also improves:

Meeting Room Aesthetics – clean, professional spaces without cluttered cables.
Device Compatibility – supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS seamlessly.
User Experience – one-click screen sharing, no driver or app hassles.
BYOM Flexibility – users can connect laptops wirelessly to room displays and cameras.

4. Long-Term Value of Wireless Presentation

While HDMI solutions age quickly and require replacements, the LatenTech WPS is built for the future of collaboration:

Supports 4K video output and low-latency wireless sharing.
Integrates with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex.
Enables wireless conferencing — connect your laptop to the room’s display, camera, and speakerphone without cables.

In short, it’s not just a presentation tool — it’s a complete BYOM enabler for Indian offices.

5. Conclusion: The Smart Investment for Indian Workspaces

Comparison Factor	Wired HDMI	LatenTech Wireless Presentation
Setup Time	5–10 minutes	< 30 seconds
Maintenance	Frequent	Minimal
Compatibility	Limited	Universal
Aesthetics	Cable clutter	Clean and professional
Productivity Impact	Lost time	Enhanced collaboration
5-Year TCO	₹90,000+	₹90,000 (with higher ROI)

The 5-Year TCO shows that both solutions may cost the same on paper,but LatenTech Wireless Presentation System delivers significantly higher returns — through saved time, improved meeting experience, and modern wireless flexibility.

For Indian offices modernizing their collaboration spaces,LatenTech AV Technology offers the Best available BYOM solution — made in Singapore, built for reliability, and designed for the future of hybrid work.
