can be uploaded to a tablet, such as an iPad, which gives the control of the space a greater degree of flexibility by allowing users to control the UC hardware from anywhere within the space. Any other considerations? AuDeo: Installing meeting room technology is about more than just functionality – it’s about creating a smooth, user-friendly experience. Meeting panels should be positioned at an ergonomic height and located near entrances for easy access. With various mounting options – including walls, door frames, glass partitions, and stands – you can ensure a consistent installation across your business. Equally important is power and network reliability. Opting for booking panels that support Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installation and cabling, ensuring a cleaner setup and a more reliable connection. What AuDeo takes into consideration when installing any UC product including Meeting Panels is this. What we are doing is providing an integrated system/ solution that can assist with holding meetings and contributes to successful, efficient & productive outcomes. We should never let go of that objective. Pacific: All in all, the humble room booking panel whist often overlooked, really can be an integral part of the UC experience.
Scott Belbin Strategic Account Manager
tells the customer they’re specifying a truly reliable solution.
AuDeo: It is our philosophy that no matter what room booking system is chosen, it shouldn’t change the way you currently work. The technology we provide seamlessly integrates with your existing workflows, whether through calendar displays or tools that help you find the right meeting space. Flexibility is key. While some organisations standardise on a single meeting platform, many operate in hybrid environments where cross- platform compatibility is essential. Pacific: I mentioned “standard” panels previously, however there’s also a space where we’re able to write a fully customized booking and control panel from scratch, using one of our in- house programmers. These are usually deployed in larger scale, or custom spaces, such as spaces which can be reconfigured from one large space, to multiple, smaller spaces with self- contained UC hardware. This bespoke option affords the user a much broader range of control, including the ability to book the space, control the camera, mute the mics/speakers, send individual content to certain displays and power the entire system on/off. This customisation can be integrated to a standard panel and fixed in place within the space, or
