Jabra has announced the launch of the PanaCast 40 VBS, a new Android-powered video bar designed specifically for small meeting rooms.
The new device captures the entire room with 180-degree field of view and suits smaller spaces with its compact and cost-effective design.
The PanaCast 40 VBS includes a single speaker and six microphones with adaptive beamforming. Intelligent audio algorithms enhance the sound clarity for improved voice pickup.
The device has been built to adapt to the evolving needs of modern workplaces, particularly for small Android environments. It has been certified for compatibility with Android environments and offers flexibility with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and BYOD deployment options.
It also includes optional accessories such as a touch controller and a detachable faceplate for easy cleaning. It can also be purchased as a bundle, with both the PanaCast 40 VBS and the touch controller included.
Holger Reisinger, SVP, enterprise video business unit, Jabra, said, “The modern workplace is undergoing a transformation, with organisations reimagining how their spaces can drive productivity and collaboration. Small rooms, phone booths and huddle spaces are a cornerstone of this evolution, yet they’ve often been overlooked by traditional video solutions.
“With the PanaCast 40 VBS, we’re addressing this gap by delivering a flexible, intuitive, and future-proof Android solution that empowers teams to collaborate seamlessly, regardless of room size or platform preference.”
The Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS will be available from mid-2025 at a recommended retail price of £1,310.
