AudioCodes Turns Any Space into a Meeting Room with Huddle Room Solution

New advances in technology have significantly changed every aspect of how businesses operate—including how teams meet and collaborate. In years prior, teams had to set up a meeting, reserve a room, and gather in a traditional conference room packed with the latest conferencing technology. But these days are a thing of the past. Today, many organizations are adopting new workflows and collaboration tools after realizing that great ideas and teamwork do not solely occur in traditional conference room settings. Instead, conferencing and team meetings can happen anywhere, including intimate and often informal spaces often referenced as “huddle rooms.”
Huddle rooms are increasingly popular in many workplaces today primarily because of the flexibility they offer teams. Groups can quickly meet in the huddle room for impromptu meetings, and even remote colleagues can also take part in the conversation, too. But for huddle rooms to effectively enable collaboration and creativity among their teams, equipping the space with the right audio, video and display system technology is also crucial. AudioCodes, a market leader in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and voice networking solutions, recently introduced their Huddle Room Solution (HRS) to address the growing need for high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective communication solutions in huddle rooms.
Forget Outdated Conference Room Systems
Exhibited at the Enterprise Connect trade show earlier this year in Orlando, Florida, AudioCodes Huddle Room Solution is designed to transform any space into a meeting room by delivering high-quality audio through a robust, affordable and user-friendly system. It offers what today’s diverse and distributed workforce needs: a smooth unified communications experience minus the clumsy remotes, or hefty costs often associated with outdated and clunky conference room systems.
The Huddle Room Solution is also highly scalable and can accommodate anywhere between 6 to 15 participants. Aside from this, teams can also expect crystal clear conversations because the solution offers built-in support for industry-leading codecs (including SILK) as well as an advanced microphone technology.
Nimrod Borovsky, AudioCodes’ Vice President of Marketing, had this to say about their latest offering:
“This new addition to the 400HD family further enhances AudioCodes’ offering of high productivity devices and fills a gap in the market between user demands and IT budgets,” commented Borovsky. “The AudioCodes Huddle Room Solution is another important step in the evolution of AudioCodes’ One Voice portfolio that is designed to deliver successful deployments of enterprise voice within Skype for Business environments.”
Why AudioCodes Huddle Room Solution
Over the past few years, AudioCodes has offered their customers a number of unified communications solutions for business. But the Huddle Room Solution is a unique platform because it was developed to specifically meet the evolving needs and demands of organizations looking to enhance their collaboration via huddle rooms. From setting up Skype for Business meetings to joining calls and even managing meeting participants, AudioCodes ensures that users get the most from their conferencing technology.
Here are some of the key features of the Huddle Room Solutions that teams will find most useful:
- Simplicity for users - the platform offers a clear, intuitive user interface based on the AudioCodes 450HD IP phone. With one click, participants can join a meeting or add users. It also includes additional conference control features such as lock, mute, and info. And if users wish for a more private conversation, they can simply pick up the handset at any time during the call. This simplicity drives user adoption.
- Exceptional audio quality - Huddle Room Solution’s advanced underlying voice technology ensures that users (whether local or remote call participants) enjoy high definition audio. The platform also features advanced echo cancellation technology for loud and clear audio.
- Powerful IT tools - complete lifecycle management is also provided through full integration with AudioCodes One Voice Operations Center (OVOC) management platform, where admin can easily detect, analyze, and resolve voice quality issues before they impact the call.
