What is Jabra Air Comfort Technology? 

Back-to-back meetings can mean being in a headset all day. To take the pressure off, Jabra has created a new comfort technology called Air Comfort. It features redesigned earcup cushions with a new pattern and material that distributes pressure on the ear more evenly. The inside of the ear cups have also been changed to a softer, more responsive material that helps to relieve pressure on the ears. The headband has a new perforated design that distributes pressure more evenly on the top of the head. This makes it feel like you’re not even wearing a headset during long meetings. Jabra Air Comfort technology was perfected by engineers over many years, so you can look forward to a new level of comfort during meetings and calls. Jabra Air Comfort comes with the Evolve2 65 Flex, Evolve2 55, and Evolve2 50.

My Favorite Home Office Technology

My Favorite Home Office Technology – The evolution of our home office from March 2020 to November 2022

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

As we head into the 2022 Holiday Season, I wanted to share my favorite home office technology! But first, let’s rewind to March 2020. March 2020 was the first month for most office workers to start their work-from-home journey. Reminder at the time, it was only going to be temporary. My wife and I are empty-nesters, and I was fortunate to have a dedicated home office. My wife set up her workstation on our dining room table. We all know two weeks turned into months and months into years. We have made several changes to our work-from-home environments over that time.

As a Director of Human Resources, it became impractical for my wife to remain at the dining room table. She often deals with sensitive information and needs to keep it private. After two weeks, she purchased a small desk and moved into our guest bedroom. Over time, we replaced the bedroom furniture and carpet with proper office furniture and vinyl plank floors. We converted the guest bedroom into a real home office.

Many of the changes I made are not immediately visible or noticeable. I added a work table next to my desk to film unboxing videos, stage, and charge audio and video devices. I added shelves in my home office closet to hold the additional devices. I also made some changes to the equipment I use daily.

My Favorite Home Office Technology
My wife’s home office March 2020

I need to have an optimal home office setup to support the way I work and can be the most productive. As the Sr. Director of Marketing and Emerging Technology, I spend a lot of time testing professional-grade audio and video devices. I film videos to help people make more informed purchasing decisions. I also do standard office stuff. I review and respond to emails, IMs, and texts, take and make voice calls, join many video meetings, and work with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, Sheets, and other applications. My wife and I started venturing back into society and traveling again this year, so I added some new family pictures and picture frames to my home office!

Before I share our favorite home office technology, here are some changes we made to our technology and equipment, starting with my wife.

Changes to technology I’ve made in my home office:


My Favorite Home Office Technology
My home office March 2020

Since March 2020, I have tested hundreds of devices. In addition to my favorite pieces of technology, here are some devices I’ve tried recently:

    My Favorite Home Office Technology

    My Favorite Home Office Technology
    My home office November 2022

    Over the past few years, our hiring practices have shifted. We now employ team members across multiple states and cities.

    Logitech Brio

    One of my wife’s favorite pieces of technology is her Logitech Brio webcam. She states the camera helps to make her look her best compared to other cameras. I have shared several webcams with her, and she continues to stick with the Logitech Brio.

    Jabra PanaCast 20

    The Jabra PanaCast 20 has become my favorite webcam for several reasons.

    The video quality of the Jabra PanaCast 20 is excellent across all video platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, and more! Jabra Direct provides a Camera Controller that allows me to customize the experience. I can turn on Intelligent Zoom, so the camera focuses on whether I sit straight up or lay low in my chair. The Jabra PanCast 20 Picture-in-Picture feature is an excellent feature that allows me to share a close-up of a product. Hence, people see the details while keeping my face in the video for a more engaging experience. I use this feature frequently in our YouTube videos to show the decibel level readings while I test headset mics in loud environments.

    Manufacturers need to make their devices portable to support the growing hybrid workforce. The Jabra PanaCast 20 included carry case is a welcomed addition. Initially, it doesn’t seem like a big deal until you have to pack up your gear to work in a different location. A designated carry case makes it easier to pack up the camera and cable and protect them.

    I have tested several cameras, and the Jabra PanaCast 20 is my favorite webcam!

    Logitech Logi Dock

    The Logitech Logi Dock is our absolute favorite piece of home office technology! It is a game-changer and a must-have for anyone in a dedicated office space. There is no other device I have tested or am aware of that provides the features and functionality of the Logi Dock. TIME recently revealed its list of Best Inventions of 2022, featuring 200 extraordinary innovations changing our lives. The Logitech Logi Dock is listed as a winner in the productivity category.

    Logi Dock – One Cable to Laptop

    My wife really dislikes clutter and cables. Before the Logi Dock, disconnecting and reconnecting our laptops to head into the office was very cumbersome and inconvenient. My wife had to crawl on the floor to disconnect the power cable from the power strip, the USB-C cable from the dock, and one of her USB devices because her original dock did not have enough USB ports to support all her peripherals. I found myself in a similar situation, except I have power strips easily accessible on the top of my desk. When testing products, it was always a challenge because of the limited USB ports. I was constantly disconnecting and reconnecting USB peripherals and devices.

    The Logi Dock has a single USB-C cable that will provide power and access to all the devices and peripherals you have connected to the dock. Disconnecting and reconnecting for hybrid work is a breeze with just one cable!

    Logi Dock Ports

    Monitor ports

    • ·1 x HDMI v. 2.0 (Support up to 4K, i.e. 3840 x 2160 @60Hz HDR) 7See support page for compatibility updates
    • 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 (Support up to 4K, i.e. 3840 x 2160 @60Hz HDR) 8See support page for compatibility updates.

    Peripheral ports

      • 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) with 7.5W fast charging

    Others

    • 1 x Bluetooth Sync button
    • 1 x AC power (230W, 19.5V)
    • Security slot type: Kensington security slot

    Logi Dock – Join Meetings with one touch

    One of the top features and functions of the Logi Dock is the ability to join meetings with one touch and receive ambient light notifications when a meeting is about to start! Whenever you have any scheduled events or meetings coming up, the Logi Dock begins blinking to notify you of upcoming meetings visually! All you have to do is press the button directly on top of the Logi Dock to join Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet meetings! (I have also been able to join Cisco Webex Meetings) To access this, you integrate your Office 365 or Google Calendar via Logi Tune. It was such a hassle before Logi Dock and Calendar Integration with Logi Tune. Now I can keep working until I see those purple lights start blinking!

    Logi Dock – Mute Mic and Camera

    Mute is your friend during video meetings, especially when several people are in the meeting. It’s courteous to mute yourself if you are not the one speaking or if there are distracting noises like dogs barking, lawnmowers, or loud people around you. Logi Dock has a lovely prominent mute button on the top you can press. It lights up red when muted to let you know. Sometimes it’s necessary to turn off your camera. The camera mute is especially beneficial when your camera doesn’t have a privacy shutter. While many webcams have attachable or integrated privacy shutters, the dedicated camera mute button on the Logi Dock is very convenient and less distracting than your fingers reaching up to the camera to close the shutter.

    Logi Dock – Premium Speakerphone

    I started using the Blue Mic Yeti to record audio for our YouTube videos, and I am now using the Logi Dock! Whether you are on a call, video meeting, or listening to music, the Logi Dock audio does not disappoint. It sounds good. Like really good. We often use a separate USB speakerphone in our home offices for listening to music or for those extended meetings or webinars, and now we use the Logi Dock.

    • Custom, 55mm, neodymium audio drivers
    • Six noise-canceling microphones
    • Passive radiators for enhanced bass
    • Anti-vibration suspension system
    • Anti-vibration acoustic enclosure

    Logi Dock – Certified and Compatible

    Logi Dock is certified for Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Google Voice, Zoom, and Tencent Meeting. It’s also compatible with common calling applications across most platforms and operating systems within your IT ecosystem. And because it’s simple for employees to set up, you can confidently deploy Logi Dock to your remote and hybrid workforce.

    Logi Dock – Beyond the Home Office    

    Whether employees are in the office, at home, or somewhere else, Logitech Sync device management software helps everyone stay connected by letting you ensure their Logitech Business devices are healthy and up to date. In addition to Logitech Meeting Room Solutions, Logitech Sync supports Logitech Personal Collaboration Devices, including Logi Dock! See the complete list of supported devices for management here.

    Logi Dock covers multiple bases

    The Logi Dock is our dock, meeting control center, and premium speakerphone. It connects our laptop to our larger displays and USB peripherals, including our two other favorite home office pieces of technology, our webcams.

    In summary

    The work landscape changed forever on March 2020. My wife and I have transformed our home offices to support the way we work. While our roles are different, our need to communicate and collaborate is similar. We both join many video meetings across multiple platforms. The Jabra PanaCast 20 and Logitech Brio provide us with excellent video quality! The Logi Docks are an entirely new productivity device category that offers many great features, including premium, professional-grade audio!

    My Favorite Home Office Technology
    My wife’s home office November 2022

    My wife and I have invested much time and money into creating optimal workspaces in our home offices. The challenge we face is that the technology in our home offices is better than our corporate office. I suspect this is true for many and one of many reasons employers struggle to get employees back in the office.

    We will probably get a dedicated Logi Dock for our corporate offices to have a consistent experience in our home and corporate locations.

    Video Enable All Meeting Spaces 

    /0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

    As business leaders wrestle with decisions to return to the office, remain remote or adopt a hybrid work model, the reality remains that how people work and collaborate has changed. Leading platform vendors like Microsoft and Zoom continue to evolve and introduce new features to improve collaboration regardless of whether people are in the room or remote.  

    Video conferencing device manufacturers are also evolving and developing new solutions that make it easy to video enable all meeting spaces, small to large.  

    From Your Desktop 

    Team members who join meetings from desktops have several options, including corded and wireless headsets, speakerphones, webcams, and all-in-one audio/video devices.  

    Wireless headsets are available in DECT or Bluetooth. DECT headsets offer stronger security and typically longer wireless range while Bluetooth headsets support connectivity to multiple devices. Corded USB headsets are a great option since they generally are plug-and-play and simple to use. 

    Logitech Zone

    ANC headsets are a great option if you work in a noisy environment. ANC headsets include true wireless earbuds, on-ear, and over-ear options. There are also different boom mic options, from boomless mics to retractable mics.   

    USB Speakerphones can be simple or include a long list of features to support however you work. Speakerphones are an excellent alternative for whenever you don’t want to wear a headset. They are also portable, many support Bluetooth, and can connect with your computer and mobile device.  

    Webcams are available to support all use cases and budgets. Things to consider when selecting a webcam include:  

    • Compatibility with the operating system 
    • Video platforms supported 
    • Windows Hello support 
    • Video resolution 
    • Field of View (Fixed or Adjustable) 
    • Auto-Framing 
    • Auto-Focus 
    • Light Correction 
    • Built-in Microphones 
    • Privacy Shutter 
    • Mounting Options 
    • USB-A or USB-C 
    • Cable length 
    • All-in-one 
    • Warranty 
    • Additional features 
    • Price 

    Logi Dock for Desktop 

    The Logitech Logi Dock is a new category of devices. Logitech describes this as an All-in-one docking station with meeting controls and a speakerphone. Used in conjunction with Logi Tune software, you have a powerful device that allows you to join meetings across different platforms at the press of a button. The Logi Dock is a must-have to help increase productivity in your home or independent office. Watch these videos to see the Logi Dock in action! There is nothing else on the market that compares.  

    Video Enable All Meeting Spaces

    All-In-One Solutions  

    All-In-One video solutions are convenient, and an inexpensive way to video enable small to large rooms. All-In-One solutions are available as simple USB audio & video devices (imagine a big webcam with microphones and speakers) or can be used with an in-room PC or placed into Appliance mode, depending on the model. Your in-house teams can typically install these, saving money on installation fees. These solutions support the latest features available for Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms, including Microsoft Teams Room Front Row, Touch-enabled display solutions for Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms for Touch, Digital whiteboarding, Zoom Smart Gallery, and more! 

    Some models have a wide range of peripherals that can be attached to enhance the collaboration experience. Peripherals include analog whiteboard cameras, touchpads, extension mics, and more!  

    Video Enable All Meeting Spaces

    All-in-One devices have extended beyond a video bar. Brands like Poly, DTEN, and Neat offer solutions that include a camera, microphones, speakers, and a display for personal and group use.  

    Contact an authorized reseller to schedule a virtual demonstration to see the solutions in action! 

    Video Bundles 

    Video bundles include all the necessary components as separate items to support placement flexibility depending on room size and configuration. Video bundles may include a camera, microphones, speakers or a camera, speakerphone (mics, speakers, dial pad), and extension microphones.  

    Some use cases require an independent speakerphone that can be used in video meetings or support voice-only calls.  

    Video bundles for personal use include a webcam+ (corded or wireless) headset or webcam + speakerphone. Video bundles are conveniently packaged in a single box to simplify deployments. Examples include the Konftel Personal Video Kit and Poly Studio P5 Kits.  

    Poly Studio P Series P5 Video Enable All Meeting Spaces
    Video Enable All Meeting Spaces

    Microsoft Teams Room and Zoom Room Bundles 

    Microsoft and Zoom have strong relationships with hardware partners who develop solutions designed to support a wide range of spaces with Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms licenses. It’s important to note that you must have the appropriate Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms Licenses and use recommended and certified Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms Hardware to access all the available features.  

    Logitech Video Conferencing Video Enable All Meeting Spaces

    Wireless Presentation and Conferencing  

    Some solutions support wireless content sharing and conferencing and are compatible with most of the leading video conferencing device manufacturers. These solutions allow you to wirelessly share content, turn a dedicated platform meeting room into a BYOD space or take over the USB peripherals from your laptop. Examples of these solutions include ScreenBeam and ClickShare by Barco.  

    Make it easy to join a meeting 

    There are so many options to video-enable meeting spaces of all sizes. Ultimately, it comes down to what you want team members and partners to accomplish while in that space. The easier it is to use the technology in the room, the more productive meetings will be. Make it easy for anyone in your organization to join a meeting.  

    Call One, Inc. has been in business since 1987. We entered the audio and video conferencing space in 2003. We partner with leading brands, including Logitech, Poly, Jabra, Konftel, Yealink, JPL, DTEN, Neat, and more, to help organizations video-enable all their meeting spaces so they can do their business better.

    Personal Audio and Video Devices for Hybrid Work in 2022 

    /0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

    Today hybrid work means working from anywhere. The goal of business and IT leaders is to ensure their teams have a consistent experience whether they are working from home, their corporate offices, or from wherever they choose to work. Professional-grade audio and video devices can aid in providing a consistent experience.  

    Audio Video Hybrid Work
    Audio Video Hybrid Work

    Here is a list of factors business and IT leaders need to consider when selecting personal audio and video devices for their employees.  

    Workstyles / Personas 

    There are several roles or personas within an organization with different communication needs. Poly has studied workstyle evolution for nearly a decade and identified six distinct work styles, or personas, making up 92% of a typical enterprise: Office Communicator, Office Collaborator, Remote Collaborator, Flexible Worker, Road Warrior, and Connected Executive. Each persona uses a different set of communications tools. Take a look at the Get To Know Your Workforce – Personas Overview.

    Audio Video Hybrid Work
    Logitech Zone

    Connectivity 

    Each persona utilizes different communications tools depending on their role and environment. They may need connectivity to a desk phone, computer, mobile device, or a combination. Audio devices have a wide range of connectivity options to support whatever connectivity combination your team needs. For example, teams returning to the office may require connectivity to desk phones and computers. Employees working from home may require connectivity to a laptop and mobile phone. Hybrid team members may need an audio device that supports connectivity to phones, computers, mobile devices and can easily transport between work locations.  

    Audio Video Hybrid Work

    Platform 

    Leading device manufacturers like Poly, Jabra, EPOS, Yealink, and others offer compatible solutions for all major platforms, including Zoom, Teams, and Webex. Some platforms like Microsoft have developed a peripherals certification program to ensure USB peripherals (such as headsets, speakerphones, webcams, and monitors) offer rich audio or video quality, are plug-and-play, and provide an excellent experience for end-users and administrators. An authorized partner can help with compatibility and identifying which variants are best for your business. Contact us! 

    Environment 

    Work environments can range from corporate offices, third spaces, home offices, remote locations, or on-the-go! Noise levels will vary. Today workers can experience noise from noisy open offices, traffic, construction, lawnmowers, blenders, children, barking dogs, and more! Knowing your team members’ work environments is essential when selecting devices. Battery life may be a factor if they are somewhere without access to an electrical outlet. Video calls and meetings have become standard during the past two years. When it comes to video, good enough is no longer acceptable. Video quality expectations have increased. Multiple personal and group video conferencing solutions offer high-quality audio and video for more engaging and productive meetings. Take a look at these desktop video solutions from Cisco, Huddly, Jabra, JPL, Konftel, Logitech, Poly, Yealink, and more! 

    Webcams for business

    Fixed / Portable 

    Hybrid work has made it necessary to transport devices between work locations. The Targus 2 Office Antimicrobial Backpack is made to fit laptops between 15 to 17.3 inches, a full-sized keyboard, and whatever you need to carry! Headsets include carrying cases made of different materials depending on the brand and model. The cases are designed to hold your headset, cables, and dongle. The Jabra PanaCast 20 and the Huddly ONE Work From Anywhere Kit are two cameras that include a travel case to contain the camera and the cable for secure storage during travel.

    One Size Does NOT Fit All 

    There are multiple roles within an organization with varying levels of communication and collaboration internally and externally. A person who seldom takes or makes calls will need a different audio device than someone with a call-intensive role. The same is true for video. Some positions require being on video presenting and sharing content regularly, while some only join weekly or once a month. The point is, one size does NOT fit all. Business and IT leaders need to consider the above topics when developing standards.  

    New Device Standards 

    The global pandemic has forever changed how, when, and where work is done. Gone are the days of controlled office environments. Organizations need new audio and video device standards. The good news is there is no shortage of options. Leading device manufacturers like Jabra, EPOS, Logitech, JPL, Poly, Yealink, and more have a broad range of solutions to support hybrid and remote work. They are also developing new solutions in response to this new normal of work from anywhere.  

    An Authorized Reseller like Call One, Inc., with over 35 years of experience and a focus on personal and group audio and video solutions, is a great choice to help you develop device standards. To help people and businesses make more informed purchasing decisions, they test most audio and video devices and share them via their YouTube Channel.

    The Poly Voyager 5200 Office and UC Series offer versatile connectivity to allow you to have professional-grade audio in any environment on any of your devices.  

    Pre-COVID, the Poly Voyager 5200 UC headset was my go-to whenever traveling. I remember standing outside a hotel near Logan International Airport, making a call with the Voyager 5200 and asking the person I was calling if they could hear the planes and traffic. They stated that they could only hear me.

    We have created at least four videos testing the noise-canceling mic in real-world scenarios and extreme conditions, including up against a helicopter! Check out these Poly Voyager 5200 videos!

    Flexibility & Connectivity 

    The Poly Voyager 4300 UC Series out of the box supports PC/Mac connectivity via the included BT700 USB Adapter (dongle) and to your mobile devices via Bluetooth. Order the optional *Spare Voyager Office Base in UC and Microsoft variants if you require desk phone connectivity. You gain ultimate flexibility with these connectivity options, making for a solid hybrid work solution. You can have the Spare Voyager Office Bases in the corporate offices for connectivity to desk phones, and team members can take the Voyager 4300 series headset to use during their commute or from their home office.

    • When not on a call, tap your Teams button to view Microsoft Teams app on your computer.  
    • When your connected USB adapter LED pulses purple, tap your Teams button to view Teams notifications.  
    • Note: Teams model and Teams desktop application required. Teams mobile application is not supported. 

    What’s in the Box? 

    The Voyager 4300 UC Series are available in single and dual-ear headband wearing styles to support team member preferences. They are available with or without a charging stand, not to be confused with the Spare Voyager Office Base. The Charge Stand acts as a place to set your headset down to charge.
