At Cisco, collaboration devices aren’t standalone products—they’re the human interface of our complete workplace platform. When networking, security, and collaboration work together as one connected system, organizations can future-proof their workplaces at scale.
We’ve earned market leadership in intelligent collaboration devices by delivering on three principles: easy to use, easy to deploy, beautiful to experience. Our customers prove these principles work—managing thousands of meeting rooms with minimal IT staff while delivering consistent experiences end users love and actionable insights facilities teams depend on.
That’s the power of One Cisco.
From the network fabric that powers AVoIP, to the zero-trust security that protects every endpoint, to Control Hub’s AI-driven management of millions of devices—our devices are part of something bigger. And when everything works as one system, complexity disappears.
Now we’re extending that platform advantage across every workspace—from complex conference rooms to individual desks to factory floors. Same principles. Same platform. Same consistency our customers already trust.
For every device we build, we ask the same question: Will this make connecting with another person feel more natural, or will it get in the way? That question drove us to leadership in meeting rooms. Today, it’s guiding us to solve the complexity that remains in high-impact spaces—powered by the only vendor with a complete, end-to-end workplace ecosystem.
Cisco Room Kit Pro G2: The End of the AV Puzzle
The top challenge for IT is the complexity of building and maintaining high-impact spaces. Until now, large rooms required a fragile patchwork of DSPs, extenders, and switchers from multiple vendors.
Cisco is solving this AV puzzle.
Meet the Cisco Room Kit Pro G2—replacing the complexity with a single, AVoIP-first, Agentic AI-first, simplification powerhouse.
For more than a decade, we’ve collaborated with NVIDIA to bring intelligence to every meeting room. And now we’re partnering again to solve the AV puzzle.

One Platform, Complete Visibility
These devices share something that sets Cisco apart: they’re intelligent nodes on a unified platform. Deploy through the same Control Hub interface. Update automatically across your entire estate. Gain insights that optimize your workspace environment—all with security built into the network infrastructure.
When devices are native to the network, IT gains complete visibility across the entire workspace portfolio: device health, room utilization, network performance, security status, environmental conditions. All from a single interface.
This is the ecosystem advantage that sets Cisco apart. Others deliver hardware, but IT is left integrating disparate management systems and troubleshooting across disconnected platforms. With Cisco, collaboration devices, networking infrastructure, and security work as one seamless system.
These devices and this platform enable Distance Zero in any space. But visibility alone isn’t enough—you need intelligence that drives action.
AI Agent Integrations: Workspace Intelligence in Your Workflow
We’ve proven we can deliver complete visibility through Control Hub. Now we’re extending that intelligence into new workflows enabled by your generative AI tools.
IT administrators shouldn’t context-switch between tools to understand workspace performance. That’s why we’re bringing Control Hub intelligence directly into the platforms you already use—Amazon Quick Suite, Microsoft Copilot, and the Cisco AI Assistant – with AI Agent Integrations.
Ask questions that matter: “Which spaces are underutilized in our London office?” or “Show me collaboration patterns across our east coast buildings.” AI analyzes your workspace portfolio and delivers actionable insights on utilization, patterns, capacity, and optimization.
Unlike generic AI tools, these integrations tap directly into Control Hub’s real-time device data, utilization metrics, and environmental sensors—giving you answers grounded in actual workspace performance. Your data remains secure, maintaining the same enterprise-grade controls you already trust.
The power comes from seeing the complete picture. Rather than managing individual rooms, you’re understanding organizational collaboration patterns, identifying opportunities to improve experiences, and making strategic decisions about where to invest next. From a single building to your entire global portfolio.
Starting in Q1 2026, beta participants will be the first to transform workspace management through AI-powered insights in their existing workflow.
Workspace Designer: Plan Once, Deploy with Confidence
Optimizing spaces over time requires intelligence. Getting devices into the right spaces from the start requires a plan. Workspace Designer eliminates deployment risk before equipment arrives. Create 3D visualizations of your meeting spaces with optimal camera placement and viewing angles. Walk through your space virtually, test sightlines, and see exactly how the room will function—all before ordering equipment.
Now, thanks to our partnership with Samsung, select from verified displays—LCD, large-format LED, or ultra-wide 21:9—that automatically configure resolution, color balance, and refresh rate the moment you enter the room. These aren’t arbitrary recommendations—they’re tested for seamless compatibility.
Design once. Validate everything. Deploy with confidence.
Continuous Innovation, Consistent Principles
We’ve just introduced the most advanced collaboration devices we’ve ever built—accelerated by NVIDIA, managed through Control Hub, planned through Workspace Designer, optimized by AI. Behind every innovation, three principles remain constant: easy to use, easy to deploy, beautiful to experience.
That discipline is why customers manage millions of our devices through a single platform, trust us with their most critical spaces, and invest confidently knowing their infrastructure will adapt.
For every device we build, I ask the same question: Will this make connecting feel more natural, or will it get in the way? These innovations are our answer—where people and AI work side by side, where distance disappears, and where technology gets out of the way.
Because they’re part of One Cisco—connected to your network, secured at the edge, managed through a single platform—they’re intelligent nodes in a workplace that learns, adapts, and scales.
