Video-Conferencing: How Flexibility & Versatility are the New Stars of the Show

The modern office is nothing if not unpredictable. 

Some days it is near full, others much quieter.

That’s the very nature of the new, improved hybrid working model: some people are in, some people are out. 

But wherever people are, they are connecting, meeting and collaborating; albeit virtually.  

It’s why video conferencing has become the technology on which the world now depends. 

And it’s why – when it comes to equipping the modern small to medium-sized office with the right kit – versatility and flexibility are key. 

After all, one minute there might be two participants in a meeting, the next there might be 12. 

Similarly, one minute some or all of them might be in a small, private meeting room, the next they might be in an open or hot desk area.   

Choose equipment designed to work perfectly at both ends of that scale and in all of those environments; and you’ve got versatility and flexibility cracked. 

“Video conferencing is now an everyday occurrence for everyone and we all now want the experience to be a brilliant one, no matter how many people are involved nor where we are,” says Jeff May, UK Sales Director at Swedish-based global audio and video collaboration endpoints giant Konftel, who have just the solution.  

“Whether there is just a single participant or a dozen, you need a camera and microphone set-up that creates the right experience every time. 

“That means having functionality which automatically adjusts to the size of a meeting room or area and the number of people in it, and which frames one person or lots of people in the same high-quality way. 

“That versatility and flexibility ensures every video conference looks and sounds as good as it gets, regardless of the individual challenges of different situations.”  

The award-winning Konftel C2070 and C5070 both deliver on that aim. 

The ideal video collaboration solution for huddle to medium sized meeting rooms, the C2070 

combines the Konftel Cam20 conference camera featuring 4k video resolution with the Konftel 70 speakerphone for crystal-clear OmniSound® audio.   

The C5070 – for small to medium-sized rooms – combines the same speakerphone with the Konftel Cam50 PTZ camera featuring clever ‘Pan-Tilt-Zoom’ functionality, premium class optics and outstanding precision – all the way from the optical lenses to the 12k zoom and pre-sets. 

Even in low light, the image is crisp and clear. 

Both kits’ audio component – the Konftel 70 speakerphone – blends exceptional audio quality with a stylish cutting-edge design and can also be used as a standalone or even portable solution, for huddle rooms and small/medium locations.  

Four beamforming digital microphones provide a more focused audio experience with less distracting background noise.  

It creates balanced, natural and life-like conversations utilising noise suppression and echo cancellation as part of Konftel’s acclaimed OmniSound® technology.  

And an optimized set of touch buttons reflects a focus on usability that has earned a coveted Red Dot design award. 

Both the C2070 and the C5070 packages are brought together into individual and convenient kits via the Konftel OCC Hub – a one USB cable connection which links the camera, the sound unit and the room’s screen to any laptop video meeting.  

That means they fully support BYOC – Bring Your Own Computer, enabling users to utilize their preferred collaboration service on any laptop with a USB port. 

“Quality and ease of use will always be right up there when it comes to choosing the right equipment,” says May. 

“But versatility and flexibility is now high on the priority list, and rightly so.

“These kits are perfect for 1-12 person meetings in a range of small to medium-sized rooms and spaces. 

“They also enable a seamless transition for people who are working from home AND the office. The one cable connection means users simply plug in, click on their calendar meeting and begin their video conference.  

“This is the new way the world now works, and this kit provides organisations with everything they need to leverage the opportunities that presents”  

Joining the millions of other organisations doing just that need not necessarily require budget-busting investment either. 

“Organisations are always surprised by how inexpensive this versatile, flexible and high-quality kit is,” says May. 

“Depending on individual requirements, we are talking hundreds as opposed to thousands. 

“Given the savings that result from reducing the number of physical meetings, such as travel costs and wasted commute times, that represents a very significant return on investment.”
