At Jabra’s London event, Alex demonstrates meeting solutions for medium and large rooms, alongside the newly announced Jabra Reach.
The tour explores the Android-based Jabra PanaCast 55 VBS and its expansion options. Huddly Crew cameras provide active-speaker views, complementing PanaCast’s panoramic room coverage, while the Jabra PanaCast SpeakerMic extends both microphone pickup and speaker coverage. SpeakerMic connects through its adapter using Cat 6 cabling up to 30 metres long, allowing flexible placement in larger rooms.
For medium rooms, PanaCast 55 VBS can be deployed without additional cameras or SpeakerMic, with Jabra Control IP for meeting control, or configured for BYOD use. Alex also explains the flexibility of the touch panel hardware, which can be configured as either Jabra Control IP or Jabra Scheduler.
Jabra Reach brings single-cable USB-C connectivity to BYOD and room-system setups, giving a laptop access to room audio, video and screen sharing. Built on HDBaseT, it extends connectivity up to 100 metres, with Cat 6a required for 4K60 at that distance. Optional USB-C power delivery provides up to 100W of laptop charging using a separately purchased power adapter. Jabra has announced availability from 5 October 2026.
