The world of work is going through a marked change, and we’re at a pivotal moment. Though more gradual and planned than the pandemic-induced shift to remote work in 2020, the shift to hybrid work is likely to be the biggest permanent shift in work culture for an entire generation. Lead the hybrid wave with Jabra, Lenovo and Microsoft Teams Rooms.
Technology is key to inclusivity and hybrid work success
For people to work comfortably and equitably from remote locations, there is an increasing need to be equally seen and heard, no matter where you are. Companies are now considering increasing budgets into better technology to make sure everyone feels they are equal, regardless of their physical presence in a meeting.
84% of the workforce believe collaboration technologies will create a more equal and inclusive workforce and 80% would rather work for a company that invests in technology to better connect the workforce. Research shows clear links between poor virtual collaboration experiences and a sense of connectivity in teams, and technology plays a key role in the remote working experience, with 85% of the global workforce reporting that being confident in their technology – audio, internet, video – allows them to excel at work.

Introducing Jabra PanaCast 50
Include everyone in the room without huddling in
Jabra PanaCast 50 helps reinvent the way teams meet and collaborate. With its 180° field-of-view camera, have a safe distance between meeting participants, without cutting anyone out of the frame. PanaCast 50 gives you the power to put safe, socially distanced meetings back on the table.
Hear and be heard, naturally
Meetings flow better when everyone can communicate clearly. The advanced beamforming technology of Jabra PanaCast 50 maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio for crystal-clear voices, anywhere in the room.
And with full duplex technology, everyone can contribute to the conversation in real time. So those verbal cues that are so integral to face-to-face conversations will never go unheard.
Bring the human touch to your virtual meetings
Automatically detect who’s speaking and intelligently adjust the picture to focus on them, just like your brain would refocus your gaze if you were there in the room.
The high-power Edge-AI processing chips of PanaCast 50 deploy proprietary algorithms to intuitively follow your meeting, instantly adjusting the frame in real-time to focus only on the active speakers.
The result is a meeting experience that puts the most important content front and center, so nobody misses out on any of the important details.
Bring back the whiteboard collaboration
The whiteboard streaming technology of PanaCast 50 lets you live stream and enhance your whiteboard content, so everyone on the call can see it, even if they’re not in the room. The feature is built in and is powered by PanaCast 50’s 180° field of view.
Intelligent algorithms automatically capture and live-stream your whiteboard content in real time, so you don’t need to be present to participate.
Simple set-up. Instant Meetings.
When you’re in back-to-back meetings all day, you can sometimes have less than a minute between each one. Jabra PanaCast 50 is UC-optimized and plug-and-play, so you can simply walk into your next meeting and get going straight away, with everything you need at your fingertips.
