Adrian –<\/strong> We\u2019ve always wanted a wireless presenter that doesn\u2019t force you to download another app. Why can\u2019t it just work like at home with Apple TV? Pano is Polycom\u2019s answer to this problem. Today we\u2019re going to look at what others deem the last wireless presenter you\u2019ll ever need.<\/p>\n

So, the market is flooded with different wireless presenters: there\u2019s Crestron, there\u2019s Extron. But they always require you to do something extra like plugging a dongle or download some software. At home it\u2019s easy like a Chromecast and Apple TV, you just swipe up and present. Why can\u2019t it be like that at the workplace. Polycom were claiming to have solved this problem whilst still maintaining network security that businesses, schools, and universities need. So, Jonathan you\u2019ve spent the last month with Polycom Pano. How do these claims stack up?<\/p>\n

Jonathan –<\/strong> I took a deep dive in to the Polycom Pano and spent quite a bit of time and what I quickly realised was Polycom thought about this in a very different way. All those products that you were talking about before, Airtame, Crestron, Extron, they try to reinvent the wheel. They developed their own technology and their own way of doing things which is why you have to download that app or plug in a dongle.<\/p>\n

Polycom looked at it differently and they said, \u201cOkay what\u2019s already available?\u201d. You mentioned Apple AirPlay. That\u2019s already available and they implemented that. What\u2019s available for Microsoft laptops? Miracast. So, they used the existing technologies and that means it\u2019s very easy for people to use. They already know how to do AirPlay. Swipe up, press AirPlay. Windows? Windows + K and you\u2019re presenting. No extras required.<\/p>\n

Adrian –<\/strong> I do know that there are some people who use Samsung phones and the Google Pixel. You were talking a lot about Apple and Microsoft. How does the Pano work for these devices?<\/p>\n

Jonathan – <\/strong>Look, that is the limitation of the Pano and it\u2019s the problem with using existing technology. There\u2019s no technology available for those products. So, they weren\u2019t able to implement it. So, that\u2019s where they had to develop their own and for those products and devices, you have to download an app.<\/p>\n

Adrian – <\/strong>To be honest though, I don\u2019t know if I want to present on my phone anyway. I know I have an embarrassing wallpaper and if I put that on the big screen, I\u2019d be a bit uncomfortable. So, I do know that the Apple iPad Pro, and the Surface Pro 3, and all those other Surface Pros they\u2019re generally what are used in the workplace anyway and I think it\u2019s kind of smart to use those technologies for wireless presenting. But I do know, generally, with ease of access there\u2019s generally some network security tradeoffs. How does the Polycom Pano deal with that?<\/p>\n

Jonathan – <\/strong>Yes, so that\u2019s a good question and at home security is not really an issue but, in the workplace, absolutely is. And Polycom have actually done the same approach. They\u2019ve used industry standards for information security like 802.1x, Wi-Fi certificate management and even AES encryption.<\/p>\n

Adrian – <\/strong>Okay, so for the standard person who doesn\u2019t know what those things mean, could you explain that in layman\u2019s term?<\/p>\n

Jonathan – <\/strong>Sure! So essentially, they\u2019re all the tick boxes that the IT Department wants to be able to get it onto your network easily and simply.<\/p>\n

Adrian – <\/strong>\u00a0So, we were talking about the network. I do know that sometimes when the network goes down, you can\u2019t present. I know I\u2019ve been to installations where it\u2019s just an LCD and just a network presenter and when the network goes down, all of the Meeting Room shut down. How does the Pano deal with a situation like this?<\/p>\n

Jonathan – <\/strong>So that\u2019s a valid concern and depends on the technologies. For Windows devices, you can still use it. Miracast, Windows + K it works. Apple devices won\u2019t work. They need to be connected to the network. But Polycom did think about this. They provided the option to connect the hard cable as well and the nice little feature there is when you connect the hard cable, it actually automatically switches for you as well.<\/p>\n

Adrian – <\/strong>So, is this the best wireless presenter on the market?<\/p>\n

Jonathan – <\/strong>Polycom have really outdone themselves and they\u2019ve made it super simple to present and made it easy for the Network Department to actually approve it for use. So, I think for modern environment with new technology and new hardware, you\u2019d be very hard-pressed to find a better wireless presenter.<\/p>\n

Adrian –<\/strong>Well, there you have it. You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a better wireless presenter. It\u2019s still important, though, to consider that each business has their own unique requirements. This product is not the end for everything.
