Delivering Scalable Meeting Experiences for Any Space

Through our partnership with Poly, we provide scalable integration options for Extron control systems, audio devices, and signal switching for Poly Room Solutions for Microsoft Teams Rooms^® and Zoom Rooms™ and more. Together, Extron and Poly are poised to deliver complete AV and conferencing control across the enterprise. A simple tap on the Poly touchpanel can manage the conferencing and meeting experience as well as send commands that trigger automation events for display power, shades, lighting, and more.

As part of this conferencing, control, and automation ecosystem, Extron also offers a hands-free option using occupancy sensors to turn on displays when participants enter a room and turn them off when the room is empty. Working together, Extron and Poly are committed to providing scalable, innovative meeting experiences for any space.
