Logitech has introduced two products for workplace collaboration and environmental management: the Logitech Spot and the Logitech Rally Board 65. Both devices are designed to address the evolving needs of modern workplaces, from optimising space use and air quality to providing advanced video conferencing solutions.
Logitech Spot is a presence and environmental sensor designed to enhance workplace well-being and energy efficiency. Through radar-based presence detection, it improves space utilisation, air quality, and energy efficiency. It provides insights into space usage and enables booking automation. Combined with the Tap Scheduler and Logitech View, it can indicate room availability and display room status.
Logitech Spot offers insights on air quality, temperature, CO2 levels, and overall room conditions, assisting in workplace decision-making. It integrates seamlessly with platforms like Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Places, and Zoom Workplace Reservation. The device can be powered by replaceable batteries lasting up to four years or via USB-C. Installation is straightforward using adhesive backing or screws.
With Bluetooth and LoRaWAN connectivity, Logitech Spot can pair with the Tap Scheduler, the Rally Bar family, or any CollabOS device. It is managed through Logitech Sync, enabling remote configuration, management, and updates. The device includes low-power modes to reduce energy consumption.
The Logitech Rally Board 65 is an all-in-one video conferencing solution with a 65-inch touchscreen display. It offers quick setup, flexible installation, and supports above- and below-camera orientations. Its AI-driven features, such as Depth Blur, Mic Zone, Camera Zone, RightSight 2, and RightSound 2, optimise video and audio quality, participant framing, and background noise reduction. The board is compatible with platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom and is manageable through Logitech Sync.
The device can operate in Android, PC, or BYOD modes and features a rotatable display for optimal camera positioning. It captures 4K video with a wide 115-degree field of view and provides clear audio through its speaker system and microphone array. Sustainable design elements include post-consumer recycled plastics and a power-saving radar sensor.
Connectivity is achieved via a single-cable USB-C Alt Mode. Installation options include mounting on a table, wall, or cart. The Rally Board 65 also features an automatic privacy shutter and streamlined cable management.
