Collaboration solutions manufacturer Konftel is launching a Bluetooth adapter designed to reduce the amount of cables and optimize Bluetooth connection for wideband audio in the company’s conferencing applications.
According to the company, the USB dongle, the BT30, is compatible with the Konftel 800 and Konftel 70 audio devices, as well as the company’s C2070 and C5070 video kits for huddle rooms and small-to-medium-sized conferencing spaces.
The BT30 supports up to 30m overall range with enhanced higher performance wireless communication, the company says.
In a statement, company product manager Torbjörn Karlsson says the BT30 enables easier setup, especially via the company’s OCC Hub for video kits when using room-based computers and standard laptops.
“The quality and stability of Bluetooth especially on laptops varies greatly, so the Konftel BT30 provides more robust and higher quality audio connectivity,” Karlsson said. “Equally, it perfectly complements our ethos to make conferencing as simple and easy as possible via our OCC Hub, where the standard audio USB cable can be replaced by a wireless alternative.”
“This can expand room placement options, making voice transmissions cable free,” he added.
According to the company, the adapter is also ideally suited to the Konftel C20800 Hybrid and C50800 Hybrid, premium video collaboration solutions.
The adapter follows on from the development of a special interactive room type guide designed to help users pinpoint the optimum setup and understand the different dynamics of video meeting scenarios, including connectivity, the company says.
“Konftel’s expanded product portfolio is based on collaboration solutions for any room type – highlighting how video is everywhere and everywhere is video,” Karsson said. “The BT30 is a welcome new addition to our evolving range.”
The BT30 is listed at $59.
