Jabra, a global leader in professional audio solutions, has launched the Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS, a new Android-based video bar system designed specifically for small meeting rooms. The device features an ultra-wide 180-degree field of view that captures every seat in the room, ensuring all participants are seen clearly. Building on the success of the PanaCast 50 VBS, this new model brings premium performance to more compact spaces, combining intuitive design, exceptional audio-visual quality, and seamless usability. Engineered for the hybrid work era, the PanaCast 40 VBS offers excellent long-term value with easy integration across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and permanent BYOD setups, and can be efficiently managed via the Jabra+ platform.
As many organizations transition back to office-based work and hybrid work models become the norm, the demand for small meeting room solutions continues to rise. These compact spaces often present unique challenges for video collaboration, as traditional systems struggle to fully capture all participants particularly those seated close to the screen. In some cases, meeting rooms may lack video conferencing equipment altogether, resulting in communication gaps and underutilized spaces. This highlights the urgent need for a solution that delivers clear, inclusive, and effective meeting experiences for everyone, regardless of their location.
The PanaCast 40 VBS bridges this gap by offering an all-in-one solution that transforms small meeting rooms into efficient collaboration hubs. With its ultra-wide field of view, outstanding audio quality, and seamless usability, the PanaCast 40 VBS ensures that every participant can be clearly seen and heard. This allows organizations to fully maximize the potential of compact spaces while significantly enhancing the overall meeting experience.
Redefining Collaboration in Compact Spaces
Globally, fewer than 3%* of small meeting rooms (huddle rooms) are equipped with video conferencing systems, leaving millions of spaces underutilized. The PanaCast 40 VBS addresses this challenge with its cutting-edge dual-camera system and advanced stitching technology, delivering a seamless 180-degree panoramic view that ensures every participant is clearly visible on screen. Powered by GN Group's proprietary audio processing technology, the system features a high-quality speaker and six microphones with Adaptive Beamforming and intelligent audio algorithms to enhance speech clarity and deliver natural, engaging conversations. This enables remote participants to feel genuinely included in every discussion. With a new design tailored specifically for small meeting spaces, the PanaCast 40 VBS transforms even the most compact rooms into comfortable collaboration zones helping facility managers maximize every square meter.
Designed for Easy Use and Fast Setup
The PanaCast 40 VBS is purpose-built for simplicity and ease of use, featuring a streamlined setup process from unboxing and wall mounting to launching the first meeting. With user-friendly configuration steps, even first-time users can get started within seconds, making collaborative work more accessible than ever.
The new packaging design further enhances the installation experience by allowing pre-configuration without removing the device from the box. It also features thoughtful cable management and storage, helping to streamline the setup process and significantly reduce installation time.
Additionally, the PanaCast 40 VBS is compatible with many of the same accessories used with the PanaCast 50 VBS for medium-sized rooms. This simplifies device management for IT administrators and increases flexibility across different meeting room sizes, making it an ideal solution for modern workplaces that demand agility and high performance.
A Future-Proof Investment
The PanaCast 40 VBS is built to meet the evolving demands of the modern workplace, particularly in small Android-based environments. With certified support for Android systems, it offers seamless flexibility across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and BYOD setups. It also comes with optional accessories to enhance convenience and extend device lifespan, including a touch controller and easy-to-clean removable faceplate. Bundle options are available, combining the PanaCast 40 VBS with the controller for added value. Additionally, the system integrates effortlessly with ecosystem partners, making it a long-term, future-ready investment. It is fully manageable via the advanced Jabra+ software platform and backed by Jabra Warranty+, delivering extra peace of mind.
Mr. Staporn Sambhavaphala, Country Head of Enterprise for Thailand and Indochina at Jabra, stated: "The modern workplace is undergoing a transformation, as organizations rethink how their spaces can enhance productivity and support collaboration. Small meeting rooms, phone booths, and huddle rooms are becoming central to this shiftyet they are often underserved by traditional video solutions. That's why we developed the PanaCast 40 VBS: a flexible, easy-to-use Android-based system designed to fill that gap and future-proof collaboration. It enables teams to connect and work seamlessly, regardless of room size or platform."
