Halkin Mainframe, London
Ashton Bentley, a Kramer company, delivers seamless BYOD meeting experience.
The Problem:
The core focus of the project was to equip six meeting rooms with simple to use, yet versatile AV systems. Halkin required a solution that supported dedicated Zoom systems while also offering BYOD functionality, allowing all users to bring their own devices and work on any video conferencing platform seamlessly. Ease of use was a major priority for the customer.
The Solution:
To meet Halkin’s requirements, the integration specialist Tateside deployed multiple AV technologies. The selected Neat Board Pro systems, configured with Zoom Rooms software to provide a reliable videoconferencing platform in each meeting room.
To address the BYOD functionality, Tateside integrated Ashton Bentley BX USB-C Breakout Hubs in the six meeting rooms. These hubs allow users to simply walk in with their personal device and connect to the conferencing ecosystem. The diminutive BX boxes were installed discreetly under the desks, ensuring a clean and elegant setup.
The Outcome:
Halkin’s new AV setup delivers a seamless experience that matches the premium quality of its workspaces. Users benefit from an intuitive setup where they can either use dedicated Zoom Rooms or instantly connect their own devices, relying on the BX USB-C Breakout Hub. Jack Cornish adds: “We particularly value features like the locking USB-C connectors, flexible mounting options, and - most importantly - the 5V USB switching, which ensures BYOD works seamlessly every time.
