Introducing Boom's Innovative Dual-Host Video Bridge, Set to Revolutionize Videoconferencing
In a move that promises to revolutionize the hybrid work environment, Boom Collaboration has launched the Boom ARC smart bridge. This innovative device aims to solve the dilemma of combining dedicated in-room solutions with personal devices in a magical way, becoming a new star for Boom Collaboration.
The Boom ARC smart bridge is designed for the hybrid reality of work, offering automatic switching between room-based and personal devices. It is a dual-host connectivity hub designed for intuitive host switching, catering to organizations wanting to leverage existing dedicated in-room systems while enabling employees to connect quickly with a single-cable Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) approach.
Fredrik Hörnkvist, co-founder of Boom Collaboration, stated that the videoconferencing world moves fast, and they need to move faster to stay ahead. Many larger organizations are realizing that employees prefer the simplicity of a single-cable setup using their own device.
The focus of Boom Collaboration is on creating solutions that simplify collaboration while delivering an exceptional experience. The Boom ARC smart bridge is designed to offer effortless flexibility, accommodating various organizational setups and preferences. It can simultaneously handle different videoconferencing platforms (e.g., Microsoft Teams on one screen and Google Meet on another) in any combination or format.
The Boom ARC smart bridge provides USB-C power delivery and versatile input/output options, including HDMI. These features enable effortless flexibility in connecting a wide range of devices, enhancing usability and minimizing technical friction. The device prioritizes simplicity, aiming for a plug-and-play experience that requires no additional training, supporting broad adoption and ease of use across different work environments.
According to Boom Collaboration, the Boom ARC smart bridge is unique in the market. It can seamlessly switch between in-room conferencing systems and BYOM devices, allowing users to easily toggle hosts without manual reconfiguration, supporting a smooth hybrid collaboration experience. The Boom ARC is a perfect addition to the Boom Collaboration's product line, representing the next chapter following the launch of the ZYGO one-cable-connection hub last year.
In essence, the Boom ARC smart bridge uniquely combines automatic host switching, platform flexibility, single-cable convenience, and comprehensive connectivity options to serve hybrid workplaces where users move fluidly between personal devices and room-based systems. This forward-looking solution in hybrid videoconferencing technology promises to make the transition between different work environments smoother and more efficient, ultimately enhancing productivity and collaboration.
