Jabra has debuted its Jabra Reach BYOD extension system, designed to work across the PanaCast portfolio for manageable and consistent meeting room deployments.
Jabra Reach is a single-cable BYOD extension system is designed to help businesses deploy and scale video meeting room installations across rooms of all sizes.
Jabra has also announced new firmware capabilities for the Jabra PanaCast range, expanding room insights, customisation options, and device management capabilities.
Jabra Reach is designed to replace fragmented, multi-cable setups with a single connection for video, audio, USB, and optional power. Users can connect a laptop via USB-C to access the room’s display, camera, microphones, and speakers.
The system is built on HDBaseT technology, extending the connection up to 100 metres to support installations across rooms of different sizes.
Flexible mounting options allow for discreet installations at the table and behind the display, while concealed ports and secured cables are designed to create a tamperproof setup.
Optional USB-C power delivery allows for up to 100W of power to keep a laptop charged through the same connection.
Jabra Reach can be managed through Jabra Plus Management, providing centralised visibility and control that helps IT teams configure, monitor, and support meeting rooms from a central platform.
Alongside Jabra Reach, Jabra’s expanded PanaCast portfolio now features new firmware updates that add functionality to existing Jabra video systems, supporting greater visibility, customisation, and large-scale device management.
The firmware updates include people count features, custom wallpapers, web UI over USB, and CLI functionality to enable IT teams and AV integrators to deploy and manage devices efficiently at scale.
