Webex Desk Pro
Product
Digital signage
Feature
Greet employees and guests with digital signage. Provide valuable information including building occupancy rates, environmental health and the latest company news on any display.
Digital signage
Use digital signage with Cisco Vision™ throughout the building to communicate indoor environmental quality (IEQ) to occupants, connect to Cisco Spaces for real-time people counts by floor, or provide directions on the safest way to evacuate a building in an emergency.
Guest network
Creating a guest portal on a Cisco® network is a snap. Allow your guests to get the same fast Wi-Fi without compromising the security of your network. See real-time people counts and space utilization with Cisco Spaces for both guests and employees.
Access control
Cisco’s IT/OT converged network (technology as the fourth utility) enables the smart building to be programmable. It enables badge readers not only to grant access but to summon elevators and proactively begin adjusting the building management system (BMS) airflow to spaces based on real-time anticipated occupancy.
Reduced electrical
distribution equipment
Feature
By moving to Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a DC microgrid-based strategy, you drastically eliminate AC circuits throughout the building and reduce the need for bulky electrical distribution equipment. Converged systems opportunities include lighting, shades, blinds, wall switches, sensors, variable air valves (VAV), fans, clocks, mini fridges, LED TVs, and more.
Converged management
and security
Feature
By flattening siloed networks to converged IT/OT, you can reduce the complexity of managing thousands of IoT devices regardless of their purpose. Cisco Catalyst Center and Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics give you a single pane of glass to manage and secure any wired or wireless device on your converged network.
Interconnection to a DC Microgrid
Where possible, on-premises DC power generation helps store energy locally and power the network and PoE gear with high-voltage DC. It also eliminates the need for the wasteful conversion between AC and DC power.
Convergence with building management systems (BMS)
Whether you are running a building automation and control network (BACnet) over IP, or the next generation of fully converged BMS, you can remove duplicative networks and legacy proprietary gear and run on top of the same IT/OT PoE-powered converged network.
ASHRAE 90.4
energy-efficient design
In alignment with ASHRAE 90.4 using Meraki® MT sensors and hot aisle containment techniques, the amount of HVAC energy needed to cool equipment can be reduced by 30%. Additional door and water sensors help further optimize rooms and resource utilization.
Room cleaning notifications
Feature
Help employees safely return to the office and keep them informed with room cleaning notifications on the Webex Room Navigator. Macros and open APIs let any organization build custom capabilities that are important to their workforce.
Webex Room Panorama
Product
The modern C-suite requires a modern solution. The Webex Room Panorama provides an immersive video experience that connects boardrooms across any distance.
Webex Board
Product
A great companion to the Webex Room Panorama, the Webex Board brings co-creation, content sharing and annotation to the boardroom without disrupting the immersive video experience.
Real-time location-based services
Cisco Spaces is a single scalable location platform that digitizes spaces by centralizing location services for both people and things. This location platform leverages existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to give you actionable insights, provide trigger notifications, and drive business outcomes.
PoE lighting
PoE lighting can dramatically reduce power use and greenhouse gas emissions. Cisco smart building solutions enable a reliable infrastructure with unprecedented visibility and control. Save even more energy by connecting to Cisco Webex® devices.
Embedded environmental sensors
Get an alert if too many people are in a room, or if air quality falls outside of the WELL building standard. Environmental sensors within the Webex Room Navigator allow full flexibility for displaying what is most valuable to you and remove the need for duplicative environmental sensors.
PoE shades and blinds
PoE shades and blinds can reduce power use, lowering your greenhouse gas emissions. Save additional energy by sharing data and telemetry through Cisco Spaces, which can be consumed by building management systems and PoE lighting to optimize environmental conditions for sustainability.
Webex Board
Product
The Webex Board is the all-in-one device for team collaboration. Wirelessly present, whiteboard, annotate, co-create and connect teams to brainstorm, develop and bring ideas to life.
Capacity alerts
Feature

Webex Room Navigator
Product
The Webex Room Navigator features intelligent room booking and allows you to easily control your meeting experience and amenities in the room.
Webex Room 70 Dual
Product
Video-first and content-first – you don’t need to compromise. With Webex Room Systems you get a high-quality video and content sharing experience for medium to large rooms.
Optimizing digital experiences
Flexible Radio Assignment provides a better mobile user experience for high-density networks by automatically detecting when many devices are connected and adjusting to securely serve more clients.
Converged IoT data
Cisco Spaces can pull telemetry and network data from any device on your network. Whether that device is wired, wireless, or IoT, you will have the granular data needed to make the right decisions that will help your organization reach its ultimate potential.
90.1 plug load control
In order to comply with ASHRAE 90.1-2016, 50% of a building’s receptacles must be controlled based on occupancy. The Molex wireless PoE gateway, when connected to a Cisco Catalyst® switch with PoE, enables receptacle control based on room occupancy.
IoT enabled light switch
EnOcean uses energy harvesting technology to deliver self-powered and maintenance-free IoT devices, eliminating the need for any wiring, with the ability to communicate over Wi-Fi to Cisco access points.
Webex Room Phone
Product

PoE lighting fixtures
PoE-based lighting is available to meet not only your sustainability and energy efficiency needs, but also your aesthetic preferences. Hundreds of luminaire styles are PoE-ready to match any design.
Occupancy sensing
Cisco Webex Room Kits can count the exact number of people in a space and provide alternative locations if room capacity is exceeded. When connected to the building management system (BMS), people-counting also can save energy by adjusting the volume of air per person in a space, or turning off lights when participants leave the space.
Simplified in-room controls
Webex Room Navigator on the table allows the user to manually control the lights, shades, audio volume, or temperature for personal preference.
Daylight harvesting and
power generation
PoE lighting, blinds, and shades can enable advanced daylight harvesting capabilities that reduce power consumption. On-premises energy generation can be created by shades and thin films inside the windows to further offset dependency on the grid and reduce ongoing greenhouse gas emissions.
