National Assembly of Namibia: a paperless conference system in a historic building

National Assembly of Namibia · Windhoek, Namibia

Summary

Namibia's National Assembly needed a new conference system during the first months of lockdown. With Taiden, we designed a paperless IP system and installed it without altering the historic interior.

The setting

The National Assembly building in Windhoek is where laws are passed. It forms one half of Namibia's bicameral (two-house) system and is integral to Namibian society.

The challenge

The Assembly's previous conference system had run its course, and the work began in the first few months of the COVID lockdown. The interior is culturally and historically significant, so it had to be preserved.

That meant every piece of equipment had to be installed unobtrusively.

What we did

Our team designed a complete paperless conference system in conjunction with Taiden. Working to the brief, we and Taiden supplied an IP based solution (audio and data over a standard network).

Each member has an individual all-in-one interactive terminal. The equipment was installed with care so the building's character was kept.

The outcome

The Assembly no longer needs paper and covers its agenda in a more streamlined and versatile way.
