#Conferencing
Konftel Releases
Bluetooth Adapter for
Videoconferencing
Devices
Collaboration solutions manufacturer
Konftel launched a
Bluetooth adapter designed
to reduce the number of
cables and optimize Bluetooth
connection for wideband audio
in the company's conferencing
applications.
The USB dongle, the BT30,
is compatible with the Konftel
800 and Konftel 70 audio devices,
as well as the company's
C2070 and C5070 video kits
for huddle rooms and small-tomedium-sized
conferencing
spaces. It also supports up to
30 meters overall range with
enhanced higher performance
wireless communication.
In a statement, company
product manager Torbjörn
Karlsson says the BT30 enables
easier setup, especially
via the company's OCC Hub
for video kits when using
room-based computers and
standard laptops.
" The quality and stability of
Bluetooth especially on laptops
varies greatly, so the Konftel
BT30 provides more robust and
higher quality audio connectivity, "
Karlsson says. " Equally,
it perfectly complements our
ethos to make conferencing
as simple and easy as possible
via our OCC Hub, where the
standard audio USB cable
can be replaced by a wireless
alternative. "
According to Konftel, the
adapter is also well suited to
the Konftel C20800 Hybrid
and C50800 Hybrid video collaboration
solutions. It follows
on from the development of a
special interactive room type
guide designed to help users
pinpoint the optimum setup
and understand the different
dynamics of video meeting scenarios,
including connectivity.
" Konftel's expanded product
portfolio is based on collaboration
solutions for any room
type - highlighting how video
is everywhere and everywhere
is video, " Karsson says. " The
BT30 is a welcome new addition
to our evolving range. "
