WU has two mobile video conferencing units equipped with a large screen, camera, microphone and speakers. It is the "Polycom Group 500" system, an IP-based video conferencing system.

This system enables high-quality video conferencing – but it requires a compatible hardware and an appropriate Internet connection at the remote site. So before every video conference, all components which are planned to be used during the video conference should be checked at a test meeting.

For more details about the system, please refer to the attached overview.
