Cisco has revealed its partnership with NVIDIA is expanding by announcing the launch of a new AI-powered room kit aimed at hybrid workers.
Room Kit EQX is positioned as an integrated collaboration solution that is powered by NVIDIA’s AI engine. Customers will be able to deploy “future-of-meeting rooms simply and consistently across sites” says Cisco. Flexible mounting options, including wall-mounted or free-standing, are available.
“In order for people to want to come to the office, companies must fundamentally reimagine and reconfigure workspaces to provide seamless and immersive collaboration experience,” said Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Cisco Security and Collaboration. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA helps make this possible as we expand our portfolio of AI-powered solutions that unlock the potential of hybrid workers.”

In addition to the now-available Room Kit EQX, the partnership with NVIDIA also brings the expansion of Cinematic Meetings capabilities:
New immersive workspace setups: Cisco is unveiling the blueprint for an all-new campfire-like boardroom experience. At the center of the configuration are four quad cameras and screens at eye-level, all configured in a circular arrangement to provide an immersive view of the content and remote participants. To ensure an equitable and inclusive experience, this setup creates the feeling of face-to-face collaboration for remote and in-person attendees alike.
Hybrid presentations: Customers can now experience cinematic meetings in auditorium and training style rooms. Cisco devices seamlessly switch cameras and views to provide remote participants with the best view of speakers, their content and close-up audience reactions. And in a new hybrid presenter mode, a remote and an in-room speaker can easily take the stage together for virtually in-person hybrid presentations.
