"The lineup includes the Room Kit Pro G2, Desk Pro G2, and Wireless Phone 9821. It's important to understand that these aren't your parents' cameras and phones. Rather, they should now be considered critical infrastructure on par with Wi-Fi access points and network switches. Cisco has loaded these devices up with advanced capabilities such as ThousandEyes agents, environmental sensors, Nvidia GPUs, and more."
"This would reduce complexity and give IT teams a consistent way to support collaboration across different types of workspaces, said Espen Loberg, vice president and general manager of Cisco's collaboration devices business, during a news briefing. "With the collaboration devices, we are bringing connected intelligence into physical spaces - they're the last mile of AI infrastructure into the workplace. Our devices sit at the intersection where AI meets the physical world, processing intelligence at the edge, understanding spaces and people," said Loberg."
Cisco introduced a new generation of collaboration endpoints that embed AI into physical workspaces, including the Room Kit Pro G2, Desk Pro G2, and Wireless Phone 9821. The devices include ThousandEyes agents, environmental sensors, Nvidia GPUs, and other advanced capabilities, elevating cameras and phones to critical infrastructure on par with Wi‑Fi access points and network switches. Large, high‑impact spaces such as boardrooms, training rooms, and auditoriums remain complex and often combine third‑party technologies unsuited for AI experiences. Cisco's approach centralizes management of rooms, desks, and frontline devices on a single platform and shifts more AI processing to the edge on the devices themselves. The goal is reduced operational complexity and consistent support across varied workspaces.
