Konftel has released the Konftel BT30, a Bluetooth adapter for increased user flexibility.

Compatible with Konftel 800 and new Konftel 70 audio devices, the USB dongle is designed to optimise wireless Bluetooth connection for wideband audio in Konftel conferencing applications – meaning less cables, greater audio connectivity freedom and more stable and reliable operation.

Product Manager Torbjörn Karlsson says the new innovation supports up to an impressive 30m overall range (depending on device paired), with enhanced higher performance wireless communication.

He also highlighted how the BT30 delivers more choice and easier set-up – especially via Konftel’s acclaimed OCC Hub for video kits, when using room-based computers and standard laptops.

He explains: “The quality and stability of Bluetooth especially on laptops varies greatly, so the Konftel BT30 provides more robust and higher quality audio connectivity. Equally it complements perfectly our ethos to make conferencing as simple and easy as possible via our OCC Hub, where the standard audio USB cable can be replaced by a wireless alternative.

“This can expand room placement options, making voice transmissions cable free.”

The BT30 is compatible with Konftel’s C2070 and C5070 video kits for huddle rooms and small/medium locations. The new adapter is also ideally suited to the Konftel C20800 Hybrid and C50800 Hybrid, premium video collaboration solutions.

It follows on from the development of a special interactive room type guide, to help users pinpoint the optimum set-up and understand the different dynamics of any video meeting scenario, including connectivity.

“Konftel’s expanded product portfolio is based on collaboration solutions for any room type – highlighting how video is everywhere and everywhere is video. The BT30 is a welcome new addition to our evolving range.”
