The iF (Industrie Forum Design e.V.), based in Hannover, provides a broad range of design-related services. Since 1953 it has become known worldwide for its annual iF design award competition. This year a total of almost 2000 product entries from 37 countries were submitted. The award means that Bosch is permitted to use the iF label on the WAP unit in recognition of the company's commitment to innovation and meeting customers' requirements.
In addition to the WAP unit, the DCN Wireless Discussion System comprises three different types of wireless discussion units and a central control unit. The system requires minimal time for set-up or break-down, so multiple events can take place in sequence, meaning better and more effective use of space. Optimal convenience is enabled by fast set-up of both tabletop discussion units and WAP unit in discussion rooms. Set-up is further enhanced by separate battery packs for easy and rapid recharging and changing.
The award-winning unit was designed by Philips Design with whom Bosch works in close co-operation to define innovative new product forms.
