Delivering Scalable Meeting Experiences for Any Space

Through our new partnership with Poly, we are developing scalable integration options for Extron control systems, audio devices, and signal switching for Poly Room Solutions for Microsoft Teams Rooms^® and Zoom Rooms™. Together, Extron and Poly are poised to deliver complete AV and conferencing control across the enterprise. As one of our first developments, a simple tap on the Poly GC8 touchpanel can manage the meeting experience as well as send commands that trigger automation events for display power, shades, lighting, and more.

As part of this conferencing, control, and automation ecosystem, Extron also offers a hands-free option using occupancy sensors to turn on displays when participants enter a room and turn them off when the room is empty. Working together, Extron and Poly are committed to providing scalable, innovative meeting experiences for any space.
