This installed audio market “is expected to gradually grow at a CAGR of 3.5 percent from 2016-2021, driven by the launch of cost-effective installed audio systems from vendors like ClearOne,” according to the Frost & Sullivan report.
“With the proliferation of video in huddle rooms and large meeting spaces, incorporating video in an enterprise collaboration bundle seems to be a logical extension route for audio conferencing endpoint vendors like ClearOne,” states Frost & Sullivan unified communications & collaboration industry analyst Vaishno Srinivasan.
“Through its COLLABORATE Pro series, ClearOne has embarked on a journey to build a tightly integrated line-up of audio and video products coupled with its Spontania cloud video service offering.”
