Cisco Develops New Webex Appliances for Hybrid Workspaces

Designed to turn any space into a collaborative environment with immersive, cross-platform video conferencing, culm has presented Webex Room Bar and a 1,080p camera in Ise 2022, which has just been held in Barcelona.

With a stand in the pavilion 2 of Ise 2022 in Barcelona, culm has introduced visitors to two new devices Webex aimed at improving meeting spaces and hybrid work, "with a people-centric hardware and software design", that have been accompanied by demos.

In this environment and not to lose the feeling of 'personal' space, Cisco converts the hotdesking in a personal experience: users can book an available Webex device with their profile and, then access your calendar meetings, whiteboards and recent calls.

"It's like carrying the desk with yourself., wherever we sit", point from the company. This solution works across the full range of Desk Series collaboration devices, Including Webex Desk Pro (all-in-one), and in a modular way through the Webex Desk Hub.

To facilitate more inclusive hybrid meetings, the already announced real-time translation into subtitles for more than one hundred languages available on Webex devices is now completed with simultaneous interpretation. Meetings are translated by a live interpreter, and companies can overcome geographical and linguistic barriers.

Immersive video conferencing

The new Desk Camera 1,080p that Cisco has presented during its participation in ISE 2022 connects natively to Webex Desk Hub. The camera features omnidirectional microphones and face detection to deliver the best focus; automatic exposure and white balance in an affordable range that allows you to see and hear clearly.

Also as a novelty during the contest, Webex Room Bar allows you to enable any space and small meeting room with immersive and multiplatform video conferencing.

Compact and flexible design, this new Webex Room Bar is lighter and thinner, and is manufactured to facilitate disassembly and recycling with significantly less materials: no box packaging, single-use foam containers or redundant parts.

Integration and customization

Collaboration technology should make it easier for meeting participants to share content across multiple teams. The Webex devices of the Ranges Room, Desk and Board will be able to do so through Apple Airplay through Webex RoomOS 11, and will also support wireless content sharing Miracast from Windows devices.

The same, the Webex Desk range will support kiosk mode, a feature that allows the company to replace the native user interface with its own custom web application.

"Webex devices are designed to get the best out of hybrid work," he said. Michel Rodriguez, director of collaboration at Cisco Spain-. As companies reorganize their offices and remote interactions, we can make collaboration technology help better connect people and achieve more flexible spaces., inclusive and sustainable".
