Explore Yealink’s Android-based collaboration tools for modern offices

Yealink’s versatile all-in-one collaboration endpoints are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern workspaces. From shared areas to dedicated conference rooms, Yealink’s solutions adapt to many environments, delivering high-quality communication experiences.

In this article, we explore the range of Yealink's Android-based offerings and examine how to match each solution effectively to different collaboration scenarios, ensuring the best fit for any setting.

Yealink collaboration solutions

Yealink’s Android-based meeting solutions come in two primary categories: the MeetingBar series of devices—which includes the A10, A20, and A30 models and the latest A40 device—and the more modern MeetingBoard solution. The MeetingBoard series contains two models: the large MeetingBoard65 and the even larger MeetingBoard86. For several reasons, these devices are the preferred choice for all types of rooms and spaces.

MeetingBoard advantages

The MeetingBoard solution offers a fully integrated display designed for simplicity and premium performance. AI-powered video and audio provide an enhanced meeting experience, ideal for larger spaces due to its plug-and-play add-ons.

This mobile solution features a dual system that supports Android and Windows, ensuring flexibility and adaptability across different user needs.

The MeetingBoard devices are ideal for a wide variety of scenarios:

• New rooms: Newly constructed offices and recently renovated spaces that still need a large screen display can benefit from the MeetingBoard. It delivers innovative functionality and features a contemporary, sleek aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for sophisticated environments.
  
  
• Open spaces: Multipurpose areas like lobbies, event spaces, multi-function lounges, and other co-creation zones in modern offices can significantly benefit from MeetingBoard devices because they support flexible, shared usage with ease.
  
  
• Upgrading old rooms: When the time comes to revamp older conferencing systems, the MeetingBoard solution can replace the old projector, screen, microphone, camera, whiteboard, and markers all at once, making such rooms tidy and manageable.
  
  
• Specialized installations: There are cases where major construction, such as wall drilling and laying cables, is prohibited, such as rented offices, spaces with glass walls, or historically significant buildings. The MeetingBoard has a movable floor stand that allows easy usage without wall mounting or major alterations.

MeetingBoard scenarios and accessories

Even though you can deploy MeetingBoard devices right out of the box, there are several options for delivering an enhanced experience through additional accessories. You can deploy the following items as needed for both small and large conference rooms or for specialized shared spaces and open-plan zones:

• A sturdy floor stand with wheels for either the MeetingBoard65 or the MeetingBoard86 model allows for the versatile and efficient sharing of one device among many conference rooms and shared spaces.
  
  
• A 12X camera that is mountable directly on the MeetingBoard device itself, offering enhanced optical PTZ capabilities compared to the built-in camera
  
  
• The CPT18 touchscreen control panel gives you complete remote control of the whole collaboration session.
  
  
• The VCM36 wireless microphone further extends the voice-capturing capabilities of the MessageBoard, allowing for larger groups of people to participate in collaboration sessions.

MeetingBar scenarios and accessories

For those situations where customers already have a large-screen display and simply want to enhance their video conferencing experience, Yealink’s range of MeetingBars is a good alternative.

The range of MeetingBar devices conforms well to a wide range of installation scenarios:

• Room upgrades: The MeetingBar A40 and A30 options are perfect for improving the collaboration experience in a conference room that is already equipped with a large-screen display. These devices are easy to connect and set up, and they have a very small form factor.
  
  
• Simpler needs: For lower-end requirements such as single users, huddle rooms, or phone rooms, the entry-level A20 and A10 options are a perfect fit. Their affordability and simple installation make them a breeze to use.

The range of MeetingBar models and their capabilities provide a broad spectrum of deployment scenarios to accommodate meeting spaces ranging from one individual to up to 15 or more people. The scenarios and the accessories that make them possible are further described below:

• Entry-level price with pro performance can be achieved using the A10 as the best choice for a single user or small huddle rooms or workspaces with a maximum of five participants. This option gives the best price-to-performance ratio for such small spaces.
  
  
• Extended spaces can accommodate up to 13 people with the A40 and one or two large-screen TVs.
  
  
• The A30 can serve mid-sized or large rooms, sports dual cameras with optical zoom, and is compatible with the VCM36 extended wireless microphones for more extensive audio coverage.

The whole MeetingBar series of devices comes with the option of using either the VCR11 remote control or the CPT18 touch console for managing collaboration sessions.
