Affordable alternatives for live streaming public meetings

As cities, local municipalities, and even some medium-sized governments look to increase their public accessibility while also streamlining their records keeping process, there are a lot of choices out there today for consideration.

The challenge with many service providers is that they are rewrapping existing technology, while also leaving the client with the task of installing and procuring their own audio visual equipment. This approach can be daunting for some But ideal for others.

Our clients count on 22nd Avenue for their municipal and local government streaming systems, because we offer a turnkey approach with partner vendor staffing at a fraction of a cost in relation to our competitors. This is made possible through actual proprietary equipment We program and deploy to council chambers, meeting spaces and tactical planning rooms across the country. As well as virtual and augmented reality staffing, which does not compromise security clearances for data sensitive projects, But allows us to operate efficiently multiple points across the United States from a central location.

What does a typical audio visual system look like for a small to medium-sized chambers or meeting room?
​
As the old adage goes it all depends... But typically we evaluate these factors.

• Is there data on site allowing for high-definition streaming, virtual meeting systems and telepresence.
• Is there any existing wiring which is up to category class which we can utilize.
• How many vendors does the client interact with on a remote basis?
• What are the audio amplification and microphone standards already in place?
• What does the current furniture and layout of the space look like?​

As with our competitors, the interest is not to build a sale or to apply a bandage to a situation. Oftentimes we are able to find partnering grants or solutions which allow clients to entirely render their space in a modern aesthetic which greatly improves the experience and usability of the new virtual audio visual systems. We do this by either deferring payments with a long-term relationship, or by operating lease to own or hardware as a service (HaaS) for smaller municipalities and cities.

These exciting options also allow cities, counties and smaller governments The ability to always remain current with their audio visual and live streaming equipment, as new equipment is replaced and brought in typically every one to two years of the agreement.
