SAS ITWhy Dubai Offices Are Investing in Smart Meeting Rooms
Hybrid working is permanent. A meeting room that works flawlessly for both in-person and remote participants is a business requirement. Here is how to build one properly.
Three Tiers of Meeting Rooms
Tier 1: Huddle Room (2 to 4 people) — AED 5,000 to 12,000
All-in-one conference device (Logitech Rally Bar Mini or Poly Studio) + 65 inch 4K display + HDMI wireless presentation.
Tier 2: Standard Meeting Room (6 to 10 people) — AED 12,000 to 30,000
75 to 86 inch 4K display + separate camera (Logitech Rally) + ceiling or tabletop microphone array + conference speaker + room controller.
Tier 3: Boardroom (10 to 20+ people) — AED 30,000 to 80,000+
98 inch+ display or dual 86 inch screens + PTZ camera + ceiling microphone array + DSP audio processor + custom control system (Crestron or Extron).
