Neat unveils Neat Board Pro for Australia & New Zealand

Neat has unveiled the Neat Board Pro, an advancement within its video technology portfolio, designed to enhance meeting experiences for businesses in Australia and New Zealand.

The Neat Board Pro is introduced as a versatile, all-in-one video collaboration device that offers superior video and audio quality. It is specifically designed for medium and large meeting spaces, supporting popular video conferencing solutions, as well as BYOD mode and a variety of business applications via the Neat App Hub.

"Neat has always been committed to solving the challenges of the meeting space, and medium to large size rooms can be particularly complex," said Norma Løvhaugen, Vice President of Product Strategy and Design at Neat. "Neat Board Pro delivers the exceptional video and audio quality needed to support larger spaces, while maintaining the simplicity Neat is known for. With the ability to use it for videoconferencing, BYOD, or for a range of business applications through Neat App Hub, it delivers the flexibility our customers need."

The new device builds upon the foundation of Neat's previous award-winning products, featuring a 65-inch touchscreen display with a wide-angle camera and advanced audio capabilities. These include a five-microphone end-fire array and hardware-accelerated audio processing to enhance the clarity of communications.

"Investing in the right collaboration technology enhances remote communication and helps a more engaged and productive workforce," stated Jason MacBride, Regional Director of Neat Australia and New Zealand. "As we approach 2025, the Neat Board Pro is set to become an indispensable meeting device with its streamlined, all-in-one design that makes it super easy to use, ensuring a fast set-up, reliability and peace of mind for IT teams. This underscores Neat's dedication to advancing workplace technology and helping companies navigate the complexities of modern business more simply and efficiently."

The Neat Board Pro also emphasises user-friendliness, promising an easy setup process. This aspect is claimed to reduce costs by eliminating the need for additional add-ons and expedites the setup process, which could appeal to IT teams managing larger deployments.

The device's adaptive design allows it to be used with Neat's adaptive stand or mount, enabling it to accommodate different presentation styles, whether seated or standing. Additionally, the device is environmentally conscious, featuring noise-dampening panels made from recycled materials.

Craig Durr, Chief Analyst and Founder of The Collab Collective, commented, "Neat is known for delivering innovative devices that are easy to use and install, and with Neat Board Pro they are continuing with that commitment. Not only does it offer quality video and audio, but with BYOD and App Hub modes it becomes an even more powerful tool for businesses to incorporate into their workflows."

Available through Neat channel partners and online, the Neat Board Pro is priced at a base of USD $7,490. The company has also introduced a trade-in program, enabling customers to upgrade their video devices, whether from Neat or other providers, to the latest technology offerings.
