These advanced conferencing systems focus on delivering clear, high-quality audio, ensuring seamless collaboration for users across various sectors including corporate, education, and healthcare.

At the heart of both the COMM 600 and COMM 900 systems is their use of advanced audio technologies. One of the main features is the proprietary AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) and noise reduction technology.
