Cisco Turns Collaboration Devices Into AI-Powered Infrastructure
Cisco is turning every desk and boardroom into an AI-powered edge computing node.
Deep Dive
Cisco unveiled a new generation of collaboration hardware—including the Room Kit Pro G2—that embeds AI directly into physical workspaces. Developed with Nvidia, the Room Kit Pro G2 features Nvidia's Jetson AI platform, delivering 25 times more AI processing power than its predecessor. It supports up to seven 4K cameras and eight microphones, uses Power over Ethernet, and is managed centrally via Cisco's Control Hub, aiming to simplify complex AV setups and act as critical AI infrastructure.
Why It Matters
This transforms idle meeting room gear into intelligent edge infrastructure, centralizing management and bringing powerful AI processing directly to physical workspaces.
