ConnectED: How Meeting Bar Solutions Create a Professional Collaboration Space
ConnectED is a feature section of the Essential Edge newsletter that is dedicated to helping BEK Connect customers get more out of your system. Each quarter, we’ll take a closer look at one feature or capability available through BEK Connect, and we’ll break it down in a way that allows you to make an informed decision about how BEK Connect works best for your business. This issue, we’re focusing on Meeting Bars.
An All-in-One Solution, Ready Out of the Box
For businesses that depend on clear communication across locations, a dropped word or a pixelated face during a video call isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a missed opportunity. BEK Connect’s video collaboration capability, powered by the Yealink MeetingBar, eliminates those friction points and transforms any small to medium conference room into a professional meeting space.
Yealink MeetingBar is a single, compact device that mounts above your display and handles everything: camera, microphone, speaker, and meeting platform integration. There’s no tangle of separate components to manage, no complicated setup, and no IT degree required. Plug it in, connect it to your BEK Connect system, and your room is ready to meet.
The Yealink MeetingBar offers multiple options with different specs and features, all designed to fit the size and needs of your meeting room space.
Audio That Ensures Everyone Is Heard
Video is only half the equation. The MeetingBar includes an array of eight MEMS microphones working together with Yealink’s proprietary noise-reduction technology. Background noise (HVAC hums, hallway chatter, keyboard clicks, etc.) is filtered out automatically, so the voice coming through is clear and natural. The system supports full duplex audio, meaning participants on both ends can speak and be heard simultaneously, without the awkward cutting in and out that plagues lesser systems.
For larger rooms or open-concept spaces, the MeetingBar is compatible with optional wireless microphones, extending coverage without running additional cables across the room.
The Yealink MeetingBar, as part of BEK Connect, is an investment in how your team communicates internally and with clients. It removes the technical barriers that slow meetings down, projects professionalism to everyone on the other end of the call, and scales to fit the way your business works. Whether your team is down the hall or across the state, BEK Connect ensures they show up clearly.
