First, the personal work area is equipped with premium reclining seats, individual entertainment systems, wireless charging pads, side tables for work, and personal storage space, creating an environment where one can work comfortably while on the move.
The group collaboration space is designed with video conference systems, foldable meeting tables, and sofa seating to maximize collaboration efficiency.
Moreover, the storage space can be customized to meet the needs of the customer.
The Universe Mobile Office will be offered in various configurations, including a standard 10-passenger model, a 13-passenger multi-passenger variant, a 13-passenger model with an expanded workspace location at the front, and a 13-passenger mobility and collaboration model that adds two additional seats, allowing for diverse uses.
