InfoComm India 2026, held in Mumbai on September 16-18, brought together leading players from the Professional Audio-Video (Pro AV) ecosystem, showcasing the latest innovations in AV, collaboration, conferencing, digital signage, and smart workplace solutions. During the event, Counterpoint Research engaged with industry leaders and explored emerging technologies shaping the future of connected workplaces. The event provided valuable perspectives on evolving market trends, enterprise requirements, and changing customer expectations in the Pro AV ecosystem.
With hybrid work becoming an essential part of workplaces globally, meeting rooms are no longer just spaces for discussions, they have become critical collaboration hubs. We have all experienced meetings where not everyone in the room is clearly audible, voices get lost in the space, and remote participants struggle to follow the conversation. These issues can affect engagement and make even a simple discussion less productive. This is where the importance of a well-designed meeting room solution becomes apparent. Organizations need reliable technology that enables effective two-way communication including participants to hear, see, and take part clearly, regardless of where they are situated. High-quality audio and video, seamless connectivity and simple room controls can significantly enhance the overall meeting experience.
During the event, audio equipment and videoconferencing systems maker Jabra exhibited its latest solutions for meeting rooms and enterprise communication. The company demonstrated how its meeting-room video systems and enterprise headsets enable stronger collaboration between in-office and remote teams through high-quality audio and video, intuitive usability, and seamless connectivity.
Jabra showcased solutions designed to standardize hardware across different meeting spaces, with solutions that can accommodate two to 22 people across meeting rooms and larger meeting halls, helping organizations create consistent collaboration experiences across settings. Jabra’s PanaCast solutions address common meeting room challenges through beamforming microphones, precision voice detection, noise suppression, powerful speakers and intelligent features such as Virtual Director, helping create a clearer and more inclusive hybrid meeting experience.
1. PanaCast Video Camera Series

Includes four speakers, an eight-microphone array, and AI features like Virtual Director (which tracks active speakers) and Intelligent Zoom (which automatically frames participants).
- PanaCast Room Kits (Up to 22 Seats): Complete turn-key setups for large boardrooms. Combines a 180° video bar with four speakers and mid-table microphone units linked through clean CAT6 cabling so audio remains clear across long tables.
2. Evolve3 Enterprise Headset Series
A workplace headset family built specifically for clear voice calls and all-day wear:

- AI Voice Pickup Accuracy: Uses Jabra ClearVoice™ deep learning to filter out background noise, achieving better voice pickup accuracy for clear calls and spot-on AI meeting summaries.

The premium Evolve3 range, including the Evolve3 65 Flex, Evolve3 75 and Evolve3 85, offers clear and professional voice quality with a sleek, boom mic-free design. The compact and portable design makes these headsets well suited for professionals who want strong call performance without compromising on a subtle, modern look while travelling or working on the go.
Jabra’s Evolve3 series stands out with around 44% recycled materials by weight and FSC-certified packaging. The use of replaceable batteries and ear cushions can also help extend the overall lifespan of the devices. For enterprises, this approach can help reduce e-waste, improve device longevity, and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while maintaining product quality.
Commenting on Jabra’s hardware approach, Research Analyst Abhijeet Paleja said, “As consumer and enterprise expectations continue to evolve, organizations are looking beyond audio and video performance. They are increasingly looking for devices that are reliable, durable, easy to manage, and designed with a longer hardware lifecycle in mind. Features such as repairability, software support, device longevity, and responsible end-of-life management can play an important role in reducing electronic waste while supporting organizations’ broader sustainability goals.”
3. Central Management (Jabra+)
Jabra+ is a unified web platform designed to simplify device management for IT administrators such as remote Monitoring & Updates which gives IT teams a single dashboard to track room health in real time, keep track of hardware inventory, and deploy firmware updates remotely to reduce room downtime. This software also tracks room occupancy data to spot mismatched spaces such as a large boardroom consistently being used by only two people helping companies optimize office real estate and AV budgets.
