PoE version of DTEN Mate added to Zoom Rooms range

DTEN has launched a PoE version of the DTEN Mate.

The Ethernet-enabled DTEN Mate (PoE) joins its wireless counterpart as a secure controller that is compatible with any manufacturer’s certified Zoom Rooms device. Both versions of DTEN Mate can serve as Zoom Rooms Controller and Zoom Rooms Scheduler.

Nia Celestin, DTEN’s vice presihead of marketing, said: “The DTEN Mate delivers amazing versatility for the hybrid workplace. It’s a controller, connector and scheduler. It works equally well with our award-winning DTEN solutions or any other certified Zoom Rooms device. And now customers can select between PoE and wireless versions.”

The addition of the DTEN Mate (PoE) allows enterprising IT teams to deploy the DTEN Mate virtually anywhere – outside meeting rooms, in hallways or at desktops. “IT professionals appreciate the convenience, reliability and security,” added Celestin.

As a Zoom Rooms Controller, both the PoE and Wi-Fi versions allows users to launch meetings, admit participants, browse meeting schedules, and adjust camera and microphone settings with a single tap of the 10-inch LED screen. The DTEN Mate may also be used to reserve meeting rooms, allow users to check availability and book meeting spaces.

The DTEN Mate weighs less than 450g and is easy to set up. It received a 2022 Red Dot Award for product design and won Best of Show at InfoComm 2022.
