A Unique “Hub and Spoke” Solution That Can Meet Any Need

There are many “front of room” solutions that can handle a wide variety of spaces (including large ones — like the soon-to-ship Crestron Videobar 70). But for a room that sees multiple seating configurations (for example: moving from a U-shape table setup to multiple rows of seating for a training presentation), Crestron Flex Pods can adapt in an instant. Each pod connects wirelessly to a central Crestron Flex Pod Hub, and each hub can accommodate up to four pods. Need to expand to an even larger space? Simply add another hub to the mix. Since the pods connect to the hubs wirelessly, there’s no need for any cabling beyond a power supply, and the hubs can run via PoE, too.

A Quick and Secure Connection

The hub that drives the individual pods connects via USB to your Microsoft Teams® Rooms software, Zoom Rooms® videoconferencing, or AirMedia® technology. Setup is literally a “plug and play” process right out of the box — connect the hub, turn on the pods, and everything syncs automatically with no ponderous configuration. (While there are status and additional options that can be monitored in a simple web interface, those aren’t a requirement for setup.) Moreover, audio signals are delivered via DECT, which provides multiple layers of security and doesn’t interfere with Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® signals. All of this means it’s also perfect for BYOD applications. And firmware updates, monitoring, and management can be accomplished using the Crestron XiO Cloud® platform.
