Logitech solves the Goldilocks issue with meeting room solutions

Logitech is one of the most established names in IT accessories and it’s been extending that reputation to the video collaboration space, creating a great opportunity for partners to take a trusted brand into customers who are returning to work and looking to update their meeting room systems – or install dedicated conferencing for the first time.

► Affordable solutions designed from the ground up for use in the smart meeting room

► New Tap IP and Tap Scheduler make it easy to use resources and to set up and join meetings

The vendor has significantly extended its range of solutions here and, as a leading distribution partner for Logitech, Maverick AV Solutions is perfectly placed to support you in taking the full Logitech smart meeting room experience to your customers.

New offerings include Tap IP, a network-based meeting room controller that gives users easy access to the full functionality of resources in a room, through a single PoE cable, and the Tap Scheduler panel, which makes organising and joining a meeting really easy. Both were created to help make scheduling and joining video meetings remarkably easy as many hybrid workers return to the office.

Designed from the ground up to provide secure, enterprise-grade performance, elegant design and compatibility

This is important as it addresses the ‘Goldilocks’ problem with many controller systems, which tend to either be complex, expensive, and proprietary – or consumer-oriented tablets that have been adapted to the purpose – and not designed to cope with aspects such as remote device management, security, and cable management.

Tap IP and Tap Scheduler have been designed from the ground up to provide secure, enterprise-grade performance, elegant design and compatibility – and all at an affordable price. They will work with Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android, Zoom Rooms, and other popular video conferencing services.

Another recent introduction is Logitech Room Mate – an all in one docking station purpose-built for personal desktops, private office and home offices connecting a PC or laptop with one touch meeting controls and built in speakerphone in one sleek solution. Connecting all of your devices into one unit eliminates the need for extra peripherals and allows users to ‘de-clutter’ their workspaces. The built in speaker offers enterprise grade audio and for a private meeting the Logi dock can be paired with Logitech’s personal device offerings like the Zone wireless plus and Brio webcam.

Another feature includes the intelligent lighting which notifies the user when a meeting is about to start, also showing when the mic is muted and camera is on/off.

These new offerings can also be combined with Logitech Scribe, an AI-powered whiteboard camera that enables effortless sharing of whiteboards in video meetings, to provide a complete solution for the meeting or conference room, or the classroom.
