The number of people in remote or hybrid work environments keeps growing. A study from Upwork shows that 36.2 million Americans will work remotely by 2025, an 87% increase from just before the COVID-19 pandemic forced companies to send employees home and adapt to the change quickly. [1]

Most employees like the option to work remotely at least some of the time. Unfortunately, at least one study finds that remote work creates silos and contributes to asynchronous communications – two issues that can make collaboration challenging. [2]

The Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System solves these problems to create a seamless experience that brings all your team members together, regardless of where they work. Does Jabra have the right technology to revolutionize collaboration within your company? Let's learn more about the video bar so you can make an informed decision contributing to your business's success.

Jabra's Next Level of Videoconference Technology

Whether holding a conference with remote workers or connecting with teams in a satellite office, businesses need reliable telecommunication technology that helps everyone feel present. In fact, about 80% of meetings include remote participants. [3] If remote attendees can't fully participate, the group misses out on their insights.

The Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System offers a full-office view and impeccably sound to make everyone feel like they're sitting at the same conference table. The bar system has three 13-megapixel cameras that create a unique 180° field of view in Panoramic-4K. Eight beamforming microphones and four powerful speakers ensure everyone can contribute. And you never need to worry about noises interrupting your meeting. The system comes with noise suppression and echo-cancellation features for perfect audio.

No matter where your team members are, the Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System makes them feel like they're having conversations over the same conference table.

Features for an Immersive Experience

Several companies offer videoconferencing systems with strong audio and video features. What makes the PanaCast 50 Bar System stand out?

Bringing the bar system into your offices benefits collaboration by creating an immersive experience with the following:

• Microsoft Teams Rooms software for Android or Zoom Rooms.
• Virtual Director, Intelligent Zoom, and Dynamic Composition features that use Zoom's AI to focus on speakers and give everyone a clear view of presenters.
• Zero-vibration speakers for crystal-clear audio.
• An ultrasonic motion detector that turns the system on when people enter the room — giving everyone more opportunities to collaborate instead of fussing with their videoconferencing equipment.

When people join your meeting or conference, they know they can fully participate in the conversation. That's what the Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System excels at most.

Simple Installation and Controls

You probably won't need to hire an installation expert to add a Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System to your room – although calling in a member of your IT department might help. The system offers easy installation that requires minimal cables. If you can mount a screen on a wall, you can install this bar system.

Once added to a room, collaborators can share their work via an HDMI connection, ensuring fast speeds and high resolution. They can also wirelessly connect to the system to share their work from their devices.

What about optimizing the experience during long meetings when collaborators come and go? The meeting's host can manage the room experience through a 10.1-inch touchscreen controller. If anything ever interferes with communication; you can usually find a solution with just a few taps on the screen.

Is the Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System Right for Your Team?

Jabra designed the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System for small- to medium-sized meeting rooms. If each office needs to hold a dozen or fewer people, you will probably get everything you need from this convenient system.
