Interactive Whiteboard for Higher Education: A Buying Guide for University AV Managers
For an interactive whiteboard for higher education, IKAR recommends a 65 to 86 inch infrared touch panel for most teaching rooms, and IKAR's October 2026 EXW list runs from $514 for 65 inch to $1153 for 86 inch per set. Larger rooms can step up to 98 inch from $1174, and the October 2026 EXW list needs to be confirmed before ordering. This guide covers sizes per room, touch, models, the full price table, trade terms and certificates for university AV managers.

01Pick the panel size for each higher education room
IKAR lists infrared touch panels in 65, 75, 85, 86, 98, 100 and 110 inch sizes. Choose per room type, using the October 2026 EXW range for each size:
- Seminar and tutorial rooms: 65 or 75 inch, $514 to $1015.
- Mid-sized teaching rooms and labs: 85 or 86 inch, $688 to $1153.
- Large lecture halls: 98 or 100 inch, $1174 to $1687.
- The very largest halls: 110 inch, $3648 to $4049.
Measure the usable wall width and the route a packed unit must travel through corridors and lifts. The packed sizes in the table below help with that.

02Touch and glass on the panel list
The IKAR panels on the October 2026 price list use infrared touch with a zero-bezel design. The front is anti-glare tempered glass and the exterior is gunmetal grey. Four-way split-screen multi-screen interaction is part of the list specification.
A built-in camera and an 8-array microphone can be added for rooms that need to support remote students. The camera comes in 13 MP and 48 MP versions.
Back to contents ↑03Smartboard models to shortlist
Start with our interactive touch screen whiteboard range and compare these listings against your room schedule. For a standard teaching room, the wall-mounted 65 inch model is the usual entry point, and a second 65 inch listing gives you another configuration to compare. For rooms that need more screen, look at the 75 inch model and the 86 inch model.
If you want one supplier to cover several room types, two listings cover a wide size span: the multi-size classroom range and a second multi-size option. Compare the full specification on each page before you decide, because configurations differ between listings.
If a room needs a built-in computer, ask about an OPS PC module, which IKAR builds to order in any CPU, RAM and SSD combination.

08Frequently asked questions
What size interactive whiteboard suits a university seminar room?
For seminar and tutorial rooms, pick 65 or 75 inch panels, at $514 to $1015 on the October 2026 EXW list. Mid-sized teaching rooms and labs use 85 or 86 inch, at $688 to $1153. Confirm the room's wall width, and compare packed sizes in the table before you plan delivery routes. Confirm prices before ordering.
Can one order cover rooms of different sizes?
Yes. IKAR lists several sizes on the same price list, from 65 inch up to 110 inch, and a single quote can cover more than one size. The list covers one infrared touch, zero-bezel E5 series across all sizes, so the touch type stays the same from room to room. Prices differ by size and by board, so confirm the quote before ordering.
What is the minimum order and how long does delivery take?
The MOQ is 1 set, so a university can start with a pilot room. Lead time is 7-9 days, and shipping is by express courier, air freight or sea freight. Transit time depends on the route and the Incoterm you choose, so confirm the delivery plan when you confirm the quote.
Which certificates can you provide for a tender?
IKAR holds ISO 9001:2015 certificate 10151085Q, an EU RED EU-type examination certificate with registration number 2618-RED-0154, FCC equipment authorization grants and an EU RoHS certificate with report GRCTR260102035. We state only certificates that exist as verified files, and we do not claim marks we have not verified.
What does the warranty cover and how long is it?
Every set carries a 1-year warranty on the neutral brand list price. Custom functions are quoted separately, so confirm the warranty wording for any customised order at quote stage. Ask for the written terms with your quote so your procurement office has them on file.
