Over the past 12 months, we have seen Yealink make some significant product improvements.
If you are looking for a strong contender in the corporate video conferencing space, consider Yealink, the product has come a long way recently, and we’re finding it quite competitive against the premium commercial AV options.
There are a few major changes they’ve made to the product, which are having a really great impact. Read on for more, and get in touch if you’d like to find out how we can help you with your next meeting room or boardroom AV installation across Sydney.
How We Approach a Yealink Installation
The Hardware Keeps Improving
We don’t recommend Yealink because it’s the cheapest box on the shelf. We recommend it because, after putting it through the same scrutiny we’d apply to any brand before we’ll stand behind it, unboxed, configured, and tested against a real client’s workflow, it’s held up really well.
When we engage with a client we always go through a system selection process that ensures we choose the perfect brands for their business. We do this by:
- Running a site assessment and developing a set of platform requirements: understanding whether your team runs Teams, Zoom, Google Meet or a mix, plus what the spaces are like, anticipated usage and any existing technology.
- System design and product selection: matching the right hardware to our clients’ needs. It might be the entry-level MeetingBar A10 or the newer A50 with its triple-camera AI tracking, to the VCM36-W wireless microphone or the RoomCast E2 wireless mirroring dongle – each solves specific real problems and have their unique place.
- Professional installation: proper cabling, mounting and connectivity, including HDBT where wireless simply isn’t reliable enough for a boardroom presentation is our speciality, and what helps take an off the shelf perchase to a reliable, workable solution for years.
- Calibration and testing: every system is thoroughly checked against normal use.
- Handover, training and ongoing support: we help ensure your team are confident using it from day one and that the firmware is kept current so the system isn’t running on an out-of-date version months later.
The new trends in Yeolink that have really caught our eye are the current MeetingBar A50, which runs on a proper AI processor with triple-camera tracking and MDEP-certified device security, the kind of specification that used to only come with a much bigger price tag and a single fixed camera.
We are also loving the VCM36-W wireless mic covers a six-metre radius and filters out background noise before it reaches the call. This higher-specification product is a big part of why the price-to-performance gap between Yealink and the bigger names keeps closing.
Why Sound with Vision for Your Yealink Installation
We’re a Sydney AV and unified communications specialist. We stay brand-agnostic across everything we install, so when we recommend Yealink for your video conferencing, VoIP phone system or meeting room upgrade, it’s because it fits a lot of clients budgets and we are seeing it working out well. Working with one team for supply, installation, configuration and support means one point of contact, one number to call, and no gap between the hardware arriving and the system actually working. For a business fitting out or upgrading meeting rooms across Sydney, that’s the certainty that matters more than the price on the box. That’s really the point of a good installation: once it’s finished, nobody in the room should be thinking about it, just a meeting that starts on time and sound that is wonderful to hear.
