Cisco Webex Board 55S

0 The Webex® Board is an all-in-one device that provides everything you need to collaborate with your teams in physical meeting rooms. You can wirelessly present, white board, and have video and audio calls. And it securely connects to your virtual teams through the Webex service or via your Webex App-enabled devices, so you can take your meetings and content on the road. The Webex Board 55S* is designed for huddle and small spaces up to five people. The Webex Board is also available in 70- and 85-inch screen options.

●  Content displayed in signage mode can be either static or interactive, giving users the option to interact with the content displayed

Industrial design

●  Discreet built-in 4K camera is unintimidating, to help users feel comfortable when close to the screen
●  Built-in microphones and wireless sharing add to the clean, no-wire aesthetics
●  Fixed-lens camera uses an 83-degree-wide field of view to capture virtually the entire room
●  High-resolution 4K screen shows detailed content beautifully

Usability

●  Consistent user interface and workflow across the Webex Board and Webex App reduce the user’s learning curve
●  Familiar capacitive touch capability is the same as on smartphones and tablets, and allows for two-point multi-touch, which lets two people work on the board at the same time
●  Simplified meeting-join experience with One-Button-To-Push (OBTP) enables fast meeting start and consistency with rest of Webex video devices
●  Support for hybrid phone book lets Webex Board search for both cloud- or premises-registered video devices for easy dialing, and allows premises-registered endpoints to search for Webex Boards
●  Add Cisco Touch 10 or Webex Room Navigator to allow even more flexibility in controlling the Webex Board

Continuous workflow

●  Cloud registration lets everything created on the Webex Board be stored directly and securely in the cloud and associated to a virtual Webex App space
●  Team members can pick up wherever they left off on the Webex Board when they leave the physical room; work can continue from a different location, time zone, or device, such as another Webex Board or any other Webex App on smartphones, tablets, and laptops
●  Webex Board and the Webex service together provide end-to-end encryption, so your communications and content are secure

Intelligent views

●  Powerful 4K camera captures high-resolution image of virtually the entire room
●  Intelligent software algorithms enable automatic framing for best overview, which provides ideal framing to the far end
●  Powerful and intelligent ML capabilities for automatic people count and face recognition

Intelligent audio

●  Built-in 12-microphone array amplifies sound quality – as if a microphone has been extended to each speaker
●  Automatically modulates the active speaker so that clear audio is delivered to the far end, whether the speaker is close to or far away from the Webex Board
●  No microphone wires to detract from the aesthetics of the Webex Board
●  Powerful microphones cover a room with 8 to 10 people

Intelligent Proximity

Webex Proximity and ultrasound pairing technology enable the following:

●  Webex Board automatically wakes up when it detects a Webex App user enter the room and suggests an activity to choose from
●  Wireless sharing of documents from a laptop is enabled both within and outside of a conference call; connect seamlessly to personal and mobile devices using ultrasound (no need for dongles, adapters, typing in PINs, etc.)
●  Control of the Webex Board can be done through the Webex App device (make and disconnect calls, etc.)

On-premises deployment

●  Webex Board is optimized for cloud deployments, but can also register to on-premises infrastructure (Cisco UCM, Expressway , or third-party SIP/H.323 call control). In an on-premises deployment, the Webex Board is limited to support audio and video conferencing, content sharing (wireless or HDMI), and local whiteboarding out of call

Webex Board prominent features/differentiators

The power of Webex enables continuous teamwork

The Webex Board is revolutionary in its capability, usability, and design, but the ability to connect teams beyond the physical meeting room is thanks to the power of Webex. The consistency, simplicity, and reliability of experience across the Webex Board and the Webex App is made possible by these key features of Webex:

●     Cloud based: The Webex Board is registered and delivered simply and securely with end-to-end encryption to the cloud and offered on a subscription basis, so you can add or update services automatically or on demand.

●     App based: Once they are shared or created on the Webex Board and associated with a Webex App virtual space, content and messages live persistently and can be accessed from any mobile device – laptop, smartphone, tablet – on the Webex App from wherever you are. This means work and knowledge can be transferred seamlessly from one team member to the next, from one time zone to another.

●     Activity based: The capabilities you enjoy on the Webex Board – meeting, calling, messaging, and white boarding – are the same capabilities you will experience on the Webex App. So, you can start your work on the Webex Board and continue on your personal and mobile devices, or vice versa.
