Choosing an Audio Network for Conference Rooms: AVB or Dante?

People in a meeting room using conference room AV technology.

Comparing Dante & AVB Network Solutions 

Until recently, if you wanted to distribute real-time audio over long distances or to different locations, you’d need long runs of cables. Long wires can degrade signal quality and create noise and interference. 

Luckily, there’s a better way to distribute audio in the conference room: networked audio. New audio networks can send hundreds of high-resolution audio files to multiple destinations, all over standard Ethernet cables. Audio network systems like Dante and AVB make this possible. But which is best for your business? 

In this blog post, we'll guide you through the differences between AVB and Dante, helping you make the right choice for your conference room AV needs. And if you’re ready to upgrade your conferencing systems in the Plano, TX, area, contact Texadia Systems today.

RETROFIT WITH HIGH-QUALITY LED LIGHTS: IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK!

A living room illuminated by soft, golden LED recessed lights.

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR HOME’S EXISTING LIGHTING SYSTEM 

Have you heard the news? The sale of incandescent bulbs has officially been banned in the U.S. This ban will reduce carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons in the next three decades, equalling the energy use of the entire population of Texas. 

While this is good news for the environment, many people are unhappy to lose incandescent lights. There’s nothing like the warm glow of a classic Edison bulb, after all. 

However, this doesn’t mean your house will be illuminated by cool, bright lights from now on. LED lighting has come a long way and is now available in many color temperatures and brightness levels. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of a new LED lighting system with high-quality LEDs and a control system. 

Why retrofit? Discover the benefits and see how a lighting installer can transform the atmosphere in your University Park, TX, home. And if you’re ready to learn more? Contact Texadia Systems here.

People in a conference room using Microsoft Teams and Logitech unified communication solutions.

MAKE THE MOST OF VIDEO CALLS & UNIFIED COMMUNICATION WITH TEAMS-FRIENDLY HARDWARE  

While the rise in video conferencing and the digital workplace may seem sudden, it’s been a long time coming. In 1964, the Picturephone was the first video calling solution that allowed participants to see who they were talking to on a small television.

Today, remote communication can be a seamless and smooth experience—with the right solutions. Many businesses still don’t have the proper hardware in place to make the most of systems like Microsoft Teams. The digital workplace is here to stay, and with hardware built for unified communication solutions, you’ll keep everyone connected.
