Overview

The Barco wePresent WiCS-2100 is a wireless presentation system that shares content from Windows, macOS, Chromebook, Android and iOS devices through one 1080p HDMI output. It handles up to four sources at once and supports PoE. Barco has discontinued it, with ClickShare C-10 as the replacement. Request a quote for a current equivalent in Qatar, suited to schools and meeting rooms.

What the WiCS-2100 does in a meeting room

The Barco wePresent WiCS-2100 is a wireless presentation gateway. Participants connect their own laptop, tablet or phone and show their screen on the room display through a single 1080p HDMI output, so nobody has to swap cables at the table. It works with Windows 7, 8 and 10 and later, macOS 10.9 and later, Chromebook OS 74 and later, Android 4.1 and later and iOS 9 and later.

Up to four sources can appear at once in a dynamic screen layout, which suits meetings where several people present in turn or compare documents side by side. The unit accepts up to 32 users over Wi-Fi or 64 over its wired LAN port, so the Ethernet connection is the better choice for a large training room.

Wireless and wired connectivity

The wireless link runs on 2.4 GHz (802.11 b/g/n) or 5 GHz (802.11 a/n/ac), and you can switch between the two. Authentication options include WPA/WPA2 PSK, plus 802.1X EAP in station mode and on the wired connection, which suits organisations that control access through their own authentication servers. Apple AirPlay and Google Cast are supported, so iPhone, iPad, Mac and Chromecast-compatible users can mirror to the display, with audio and video support on those connections.

Power, heat and Eco standby

The WiCS-2100 is the first wePresent unit to offer an eco standby mode, which reduces power use while keeping the device ready. The manufacturer rates full-load consumption at 11.79 W and heat dissipation at 19 BTU/hr, so the unit adds little heat to a room. Power-over-Ethernet is supported, letting one network cable carry both data and power, which can cut the number of separate power points an installer needs.

Student monitoring for classrooms

Teachers and moderators can preview a thumbnail of a student's device on their own computer before the work reaches the main display. This feature belongs to the wePresent Education Pack, so confirm with the SmartRooms Qatar team that the pack is included in your quotation if monitoring is required. The thumbnail lets a teacher check a presentation in progress and coach students without leaving the front of the class.

Where it fits in Qatar

A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms may want students to present from tablets without swapping cables. A ministry office in Msheireb holding meetings with colleagues abroad can show a laptop on a boardroom screen within seconds. A training centre in Education City running workshops, where participants bring their own devices, can use the same setup for every session.

The rated operating range is 0°C to +40°C, and Qatar summers can exceed 45°C. Install the unit in an air-conditioned room rather than a sun-facing lobby or an unventilated cabinet. Storage is rated from -20°C to +70°C, and operational humidity is listed at 85%.

What to plan before you request a quote

Confirm the HDMI cable route from the display to the unit's position.
Choose Wi-Fi or LAN based on how many users will connect at once.
Check that your network supports 802.1X EAP if you need enterprise authentication.
Decide whether power will come from PoE or from a separate DC 12V supply.

Questions about wePresent WiCS-2100

Is the Barco WiCS-2100 still sold by Barco?

No. Barco has discontinued the wePresent WiCS-2100 and names the ClickShare C-10 as its replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement for your room, and quotations are usually returned within one working day. If you already run WiCS-2100 units, tell the team how many and where, so the quote covers the rooms that need an upgrade.

Which devices can share to the WiCS-2100?

The unit supports Windows 7, 8, 10 and later, macOS 10.9 and later, Chromebook OS 74 and later, Android 4.1 and later and iOS 9 and later, and it also supports Apple AirPlay and Google Cast. A secondary school in Doha with Chromebooks for students and iPads for teachers can share from both platforms onto one display, so a mixed fleet of devices can present through the same unit.

How many people can connect and present at once?

Up to 32 users can connect over Wi-Fi or 64 over the LAN port, and up to four sources can be shown at once in a dynamic screen layout. In a Lusail boardroom where four presenters take turns, the four-source layout keeps each presenter's content visible on the same screen. The wired LAN connection suits training rooms with larger groups.

Does the WiCS-2100 output 4K?

No. The source data lists output resolution up to 1080p at up to 30 frames per second, through one HDMI video output. If your display, lecture hall or ministry specification calls for 4K, request a quote for a current equivalent rather than this discontinued model. The team can check your display's resolution and suggest the best match.

Which Wi-Fi bands and security methods does it use?

Wireless works on 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n and 5 GHz 802.11 a/n/ac, and you can switch between the two bands. Security options are WPA/WPA2 PSK, and 802.1X EAP in station mode and on the wired connection. An IT team that already runs 802.1X EAP authentication can apply its existing policy, while a small office can use WPA/WPA2 PSK.

Can it be powered over Ethernet?

Yes, the unit supports Power-over-Ethernet, so one network cable can carry both data and power. Its full-load consumption is 11.79 W, and heat dissipation is 19 BTU/hr. In a West Bay meeting room where one cable run to the display is simpler than a separate power point, PoE keeps the installation tidy. Confirm your preferred power option with the team before ordering.

How does Eco standby mode help?

Eco standby mode is the first in the wePresent range to offer this option, and it keeps the unit ready while using less power. For a government office or school in Qatar that keeps equipment running through the Sunday to Thursday working week, the mode reduces the energy used while devices sit idle. The full-load figure of 11.79 W is a useful baseline when comparing options.

Can teachers monitor student devices?

Yes. With the wePresent Education Pack, teachers or moderators can preview a thumbnail of a student's device on their own computer before it goes to the main display. A teacher in an Arabic-curriculum school in Al Rayyan can check a presentation in progress and coach the student. Confirm that the Education Pack is in your quotation, because monitoring depends on that pack.

Can it be installed in a hot environment?

Operating temperature is rated from 0°C to +40°C, storage from -20°C to +70°C, and operational humidity is listed at 85%. Qatar summers can exceed 45°C, so install the unit in an air-conditioned room, not a sun-facing lobby or an unventilated equipment cabinet. Ask the team to confirm the room conditions during the site survey.

How large is the unit and how much does it weigh?

The dimensions are 169.87 x 129.19 x 45.52 mm without packaging, and the unit weighs 344 g without packaging, or 1000 g with packaging within a 5% tolerance. Its small footprint allows it to sit behind a display or on a shelf in a meeting room, out of sight. Confirm the final placement during the site survey before ordering.

What does the site survey cover before installation?

SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys. For this unit, the survey can check the HDMI cable route to the display, the network access point and Wi-Fi coverage for the expected number of users, and whether PoE or a separate DC 12V supply suits the room. For a government ministry in Msheireb, checking these points first avoids reworking cabling after the unit arrives.

Can we order for several rooms under one LPO?

Yes. Schools and government bodies can raise a purchase order (LPO) covering several units, and SmartRooms Qatar also handles government tenders, including Monaqasat. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send the number of rooms, the devices your staff use and your network setup, and the team will quote for the current equivalent model.
