Projector Throw Calculator
Engineering-grade throw distance calculator across 15 brands and 51 verified models — Sony, JVC, Epson, BenQ, LG, Optoma, ViewSonic, Panasonic, Barco, Christie, Hisense, Samsung, XGIMI, Formovie, AWOL Vision. Searchable picker, throw range, lens-shift envelope, viewing distance, pixel density, feasibility flags and a custom-throw fallback. Sources cited per model.
Wi-Fi AP Planner
Floor area, ceiling height, wall material and client density in — AP count, PoE budget, switch ports and channel-plan advice out. Wi-Fi 6 / 6E / 7 with material-derated coverage and hex-packed cell preview.
Configurators for education
5 toolsSystem Need Finder
Building type, stage and goals in — the disciplines to consider and the documents to share first out. Advisory; not a scope or BOQ.
Consultation Prep Checklist
Assemble the drawings, site information and people to prepare before the first conversation. Copyable; a preparation aid, not a scope.
Architect Brief Builder
For architects, consultants and project teams — assemble a plain-language coordination brief. A draft input, not a statutory submission.
Fire Readiness Checklist
A readiness self-check before a fire alarm, hydrant or extinguisher conversation. No device counts, layouts, zoning or NOC/AHJ pass/fail — design and approvals stay with the fire consultant and the authority.
Boardroom Solution Selector
Pick the room, how it is used and the platforms in play, and see a broad meeting-room direction with what to share. A planning aid — not a final design, model list, quantity or budget.
References for education
2 toolsNBC Compliance Checker
Building height, type and occupancy in — list of mandatory life-safety and ELV systems out, citing NBC 2016 and the relevant IS codes.
NBC Fire-Safety by State
State or union territory, building height and occupancy in — list of sprinkler, addressable FA, voice-evac PA, wet-riser and Fire-NOC triggers out, with explicit source-status tiering across all 28 Indian states and 8 union territories.
03 / Frequently asked
Education — the early conversation.
What systems can TechnoGuru support for a school, college or university campus?
For schools, colleges, universities, coaching centres and campus auditoriums, TechnoGuru can plan and integrate smart classrooms with interactive panels and classroom audio, projectors and displays, digital-library and seminar-hall AV, auditorium AV with stage lighting, stage furnishing and acoustics, campus-wide PA and paging, CCTV and access control for labs, hostels and admin areas, campus Wi-Fi and structured cabling, computer-lab networking, fire alarm and safety systems, boom barriers and entrance control, and UPS backup for labs, server rooms and AV — coordinated across the campus and supported afterwards under an AMC.
What goes into a NEP-2020 compliant smart classroom?
A NEP-2020 smart classroom needs an interactive flat-panel, voice-lift PA, lecture-capture PTZ, document camera and LMS integration with Google Classroom, Teams or Moodle. An interactive flat-panel (75–98") rated for 50,000 hours of stylus use, a voice-lift PA system that protects the teacher's voice across a 60-student room, a PTZ camera that auto-tracks the speaker for lecture-capture, a document camera for materials, and integration with the school's LMS (Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Moodle). We design and commission to specification per classroom rather than copy-pasting a generic kit.
Why is consumer-grade equipment a false economy in classrooms?
Consumer TVs are rated for 8–12 hours of daily use and lack hardened anti-glare coating, multi-point stylus support and OPS-PC slots — lifecycle cost in classrooms runs 2–3× the equivalent commercial panel. Consumer TVs are rated for 8–12 hours of daily use; classroom panels run 6–8 hours daily for ten years. Consumer panels lack hardened anti-glare coating, multi-point stylus support, and OPS-PC slots. The lifecycle cost of using consumer TVs in classrooms is typically 2–3× the equivalent commercial panel because of replacement frequency.
Can you handle the campus-wide network and not just classrooms?
Yes — campus IT including Wi-Fi 7 across 8+ acres, SD-WAN linking buildings, segmented VLANs and IP-PBX is part of our standard education scope. Campus IT — structured cabling, Wi-Fi 7 across 8+ acres, SD-WAN linking buildings, network security and segmentation between admin/staff/student/IoT VLANs, video-conferencing infrastructure, and IP-PBX for the principal's and HOD lines — is part of our standard education scope. We design for the year-three load, not launch day.
What's the typical timeline for a 32-classroom rollout?
A 32-classroom rollout typically takes 13–17 weeks total — 3 weeks survey-and-design, 4–6 weeks cabling and structural prep, 4 weeks panel install, 2 weeks commissioning. Pre-deployment survey and design: 3 weeks. Cabling and structural prep: 4–6 weeks (in coordination with the school's vacation calendar). Panel and PA install: 4 weeks. Commissioning and teacher training: 2 weeks. Total: typically 13–17 weeks from kick-off, with classroom rollouts staged so teaching never stops.
