Kramer Electronics USA, Inc.

Jerusalem, Israel, August 17th 2021 Kramer is extending its popular VIA family of sharing and collaboration solutions with the launch of VIA Connect2. This newest VIA is designed to facilitate hybrid meetings and learning in the Hybrid Generation (“Generation H”) for the enterprise and education markets. With its ease of use and enterprise-level security, VIA Connect2 enables infinite ways to engage, letting you turn any room into a collaborative space.

Since 2020, much of the global workforce has been working remotely. VIA Connect2 provides businesses and organizations the flexibility they require for employees, clients, and consultants to engage with one another, collaborate, and maintain productivity in hybrid work environments. School districts and universities have a similar need to create smart, wireless hybrid education classrooms for in-class and remote learning to strengthen student participation and engagement.

VIA Connect2 creates one Unified Communications & Collaboration (UC&C) experience, with flexibility for wirelessly sharing, engaging, and collaborating. Anywhere, from any device, with any videoconference platform. With a wired HDMI input for automatic switching to an in-room 4K or HD display.

Users can Bring their Own Meeting (BYOM) either using built-in VIA apps for mobile and desktop, or app-free over local networks via AirPlay® and Miracast® for a fast and touchless connection. Once paired, every meeting and class benefits from the VIA Connect2’s ability to add professional in-room AV equipment via USB. This flexibility includes adding displays, cameras, microphones, speakers, and more, delivering the best AV performance for in-room and remote participants. Alternatively, the Teams™ or Zoom® client can be launched with one click directly though VIA Connect2.

Simple, flexible, and secure, VIA Connect2 is designed for Generation H.  It enables any Windows®, Mac®, Chromebook™, Android®, or iOS® device to instantly and wirelessly join a meeting or class with enterprise-grade security. In the office, remotely from home, in-transit, or the other side of the world.

Like the entire family of VIA solutions, VIA Connect2 can be centrally deployed, managed, and configured using VIA Site Management (VSM). This advanced software management platform enables IT administrators and integrators to maintain hardware remotely via the cloud or through on premises networks.
