This significant technology acquisition reflects UMP’s ongoing strategy to upgrade its infrastructure in line with digital transformation goals.
Creating Smarter Meeting Environments
The installation of the new smartboard transforms how meetings and academic sessions are conducted at UMP Gambang. Designed to facilitate seamless interaction and productivity, the Smartboard Android model brings a range of modern functionalities into the university’s administrative and academic environment. With its generous screen size, multi-touch capabilities, and Android-powered interface, the smartboard is a future-ready tool that meets the evolving needs of today’s hybrid and digital-first institutions.
Smartboard Features: Enhancing Every Interaction
High-Precision Multi-Touch Display
The 75-inch Smartboard Android interactive display features a responsive multi-touch screen, allowing multiple users to interact with the board simultaneously. Whether it’s brainstorming in a group setting or annotating during a lecture or meeting, this capability makes collaboration fluid and intuitive.
Seamless Integration via Android OS
Operating on an Android system, the smartboard supports a wide range of applications natively, making it easy for staff and faculty to use familiar productivity tools. Whether it’s Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, or multimedia apps, the board adapts to the user’s workflow and simplifies the process of running presentations or managing content.
Superior Visual Performance
With a high-resolution 4K display, the smartboard ensures that all content—from text and graphs to videos and live annotations—remains crystal-clear and vibrant. This guarantees that every participant in a room, regardless of where they’re seated, can follow along without strain or distraction.
Wireless Sharing and Connectivity
Gone are the days of tangled wires and limited connection options. The smartboard supports wireless screen mirroring, allowing users to cast content directly from laptops, tablets, or smartphones. This streamlined sharing capability saves time, reduces clutter, and supports spontaneous collaboration.
Built-in Collaboration Tools
More than just a display, the smartboard comes loaded with collaboration tools such as digital whiteboarding, screen recording, remote access, and real-time annotation. These tools are instrumental in making meetings, presentations, and academic sessions more engaging and productive, especially in hybrid work and learning environments.
Impact on UMP Gambang’s Technological Goals
Aligning with UMP’s Vision of Digital Excellence
The adoption of the Smartboard Android display is aligned with Universiti Malaysia Pahang’s vision of becoming a leader in educational technology. By continuously integrating modern tools into its infrastructure, UMP ensures that students, faculty, and administrative teams are well-equipped to navigate the evolving demands of education and communication in the digital age.
Enhanced Administrative Efficiency
For administrative staff, the smartboard provides a platform for more structured, interactive, and results-driven meetings. Presenters can draw diagrams, annotate directly over documents, and share meeting notes instantly, resulting in faster decision-making and clearer communication.
Empowering Academic Sessions
Academic sessions also stand to benefit significantly. The smartboard supports flipped classroom models, collaborative problem-solving, and interactive content delivery—all critical components of 21st-century education. It also allows for real-time recording, perfect for hybrid learning or for students who need to revisit lessons.
Looking to the Future

The flexibility, scalability, and robustness of the Smartboard Android solution mean that UMP Gambang is well-positioned to adapt as education and communication needs evolve. It also opens opportunities for further smart integrations, including cloud-based collaboration, AI-enhanced teaching tools, and remote conferencing platforms.
Technology with a Long-Term Vision
