Mobile AV Systems Arrive for U.S. Schools
Schools and colleges can roll in audiovisual units that need no rewiring or ceiling mounts, now available through Bluum's education teams.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Distance Learning
Bluum, the St. Paul, Minnesota-based education technology company, has announced a partnership with Artome, a Finnish maker of mobile audiovisual systems, to bring those units to schools and colleges across the United States and Canada. The systems are now available through Bluum's education teams in both countries.
Why it matters
The partnership gives K-20 institutions a way to add audiovisual capability without the cost and disruption of fixed installation, which matters for schools managing tight facilities budgets. Bluum says its strategy is intentionally built around K-20 learners, so the deal targets the classroom and campus market directly.
The announcement names two product families: S-Series systems for classroom-scale spaces and X-Series systems for large venues. Artome's AV solutions available through Bluum are powered by Epson projection technology, and no pricing or deadlines were published.
The players
Bluum
A St. Paul, Minnesota education technology company whose strategy is intentionally built around K-20 learners.
Artome
A Finnish maker of mobile audiovisual systems whose products are powered by Epson projection technology.
The details
Artome's systems arrive as complete units on wheels, so they are rolled into a room rather than installed in it. The units require no fixed installation, no rewiring, and no ceiling mounts. Bluum's education teams make the systems available to schools and colleges in both countries, and Rauno Kettunen, Head of Business Development and Strategic Accounts at Artome USA, will work directly with Bluum's regional teams to coordinate go-to-market efforts across North America.

Education Landscape
Fixed audiovisual installation has long been a major capital expense for schools, requiring rewiring and ceiling mounts that tie systems to one room. Mobile units like Artome's offer a different model, letting districts relocate equipment as enrollment and program needs shift.
If your school or district is evaluating classroom technology, mobile AV units may be an option to raise with your facilities or technology office. Ask whether a mobile system can meet your space and budget needs before committing to a fixed installation.
The takeaway
Mobile AV systems that need no rewiring or ceiling mounts give schools a way to adapt equipment as needs change. Before buying, ask your technology office for pricing and whether a mobile unit fits your rooms.
