Conferencing manufacturer Boom Collaboration has launched a dedicated ‘meeting room in a box’ video kit specifically for huddle rooms and smaller locations. The all-in-one solution features a high performance camera, speakerphone and one cable connection hub – designed to simplify installations and inspire further demand for Bring Your Own Meeting deployments.
It’s part of a new range of complete solutions, demonstrating the Texas-based company’s ethos of delivering better meetings, simply, for any device across any platform in any room. The BYOM Small Room Kit can be found at boom.co and features the MEZZO 4K wide angle camera and GIRO Pro professional wireless audio speaker with a 360° omnidirectional microphone. It also includes the ZYGO plug-and-play hub for simple and quick connections.
“In recent years there’s been an explosion in huddle room deployments and our new kit is ideally suited to these type of smaller more versatile locations” explained Co-Founder Holli Hulett. “The video conferencing market offers two distinct ways forward, with dedicated in-room systems or Bring Your Own Meeting alternatives. Our new range of meeting room in a box kits simplify the process of choosing the right equipment for the right rooms, to optimise the overall user experience and take away any installation headaches, whichever route is taken.”
She emphasised: “The flexibility and lower cost of BYOM solutions – where users bring their laptops or mobile devices to connect to a room’s AV system – has seen a significant rise, as hybrid and flexible work models became more common. In many ways huddle rooms represent the market hot spot.”
Co-Founder Fredrik Hörnkvist agrees. “The use of individual devices is now firmly taking over with plug-and-play simplicity, lower costs and a platform agnostic approach some of the main driving forces.” He concluded: “This is especially popular for SMBs embracing hybrid work. They greatly outnumber bigger organisations by around 1000:1 so there’s more volume and more reseller opportunities compared to fully-fledged room systems. Our new dedicated kit for smaller rooms makes it easy for installers and their customers to create the optimal BYOM meeting experience in a quick and hassle-free way.”
