Crestron, the industry leader in automation and control technology, recently
announced it has partnered with Microsoft® to create Crestron’s Skype Room
System, a powerful, professional solution built for Skype for Business, which brings
an HD audio video experience to small and midsize meeting rooms and spaces, as
well as conference rooms. Work like you’re in one place; quickly and easily join
meetings, make phone calls, instantly share content in room and remotely, all from
an elegant touch screen console device.
“Working closely with Microsoft, we’ve natively integrated Skype for Business with
our AV and room control technology to make a collaboration system that can be
easily deployed in huddle rooms and conference rooms across the enterprise. This
system can be managed on the network, and provides the seamless, intuitive Skype
for Business experience to any meeting space,’ says Fred Bargetzi, Crestron Chief
Technology Officer.

“The next generation of Skype Room Systems will bring the Skype Meeting
experience to millions of meeting spaces, which today have only displays and
