The ways in which we connect and communicate are rapidly being transformed and adapted to accommodate our digitized workplace lifestyles. This is reflected in modern offices and streamlined productivity and collaboration is at the heart of it. It’s no secret that Wireless Presentation Systems have been a major game changer when it comes to connecting, collaborating and increasing productivity in the workplace. The ability to share content from any laptop, phone or tablet to a projector or TV without the need for any wires is both convenient and beneficial. Wireless Conferencing improves and innovates on this technology, allowing team members to collaborate with increased efficiency and effectiveness by allowing users to utilize the camera, microphone, speakers and displays for video conferencing from a platform of the users choice – with no cables required. This enables users to walk into a meeting room with professional integrated technology solutions, utilize any software platform they prefer (ie. Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Bluejeans, GotoMeeting, etc.), host or join a meeting, and enjoy the benefits of technology designed specifically for the room they are using, in a video or audio call. Completely interoperable, with no wires or cables required. Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s not. The solutions are now available to make this a reality for your organization.
Below, we will provide a brief overview of the hardware solutions and manufacturers that are leading the pack with Wireless Conferencing solutions:
