In the heart of Brussels, L’Oréal has reimagined what a modern workspace can be. Their new offices in the prestigious Quatuor Building blend beauty expertise with cutting-edge technology, powered by NETGEAR’s Pro AV networking solutions.
The Challenge
L’Oréal needed to create high-impact spaces across multiple floors where teams could collaborate seamlessly, whether in person or remotely. The vision: an immersive environment with intelligent video systems that enhance communication while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic.
“In our business, it’s important to communicate with everyone: employees, customers and clients. We can only be the best if we use the best technology,” explains Olivier van Twembeke, Facilities Manager Benelux at L’Oréal.
NETGEAR: The Heart of the Solution
The implementation features two strategically deployed NETGEAR M4250-40G8XF-PoE+ switches. One is dedicated to handling multicast video traffic, while another manages all non-multicast data. The key technology differentiator is IGMP Plus functionality, which prevents network bottlenecks by efficiently containing multicast traffic.
“By using NETGEAR switches, we avoided a bottleneck of video traffic between switches,” explains Jordi Bonte from AV Challenges. “IGMP Plus is one of the reasons why I am a fan of NETGEAR.”
The Results Speak Volumes
Since its completion in late 2024, the installation has delivered flawless operation with zero support calls, a testament to the solution’s robustness and user-friendliness.
“It’s easy to use, really simple for employees to be connected,” confirms Olivier Van Twembeke.
