Neat Empowers You with Neat Select, Our New BYOD Solution

Tormod Ree, Feb 3, 2025

Neat Bar and Neat Bar 2 will soon feature Neat Select, our centrally manageable BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) solution. Neat Select lets you enjoy more accessible and flexible video meetings on the platform of your choice.

Delivering simple yet highly efficient, versatile meeting room experiences for small to medium-sized spaces, Neat Bar and Neat Bar 2 empower you with outstanding, hassle-free audio and video. You can deploy Neat Bar and Neat Bar 2 in our convenient new Neat Select mode, with or without a Neat Pad controller, and centrally manage everything via our Neat Pulse cloud management service, which includes powerful APIs to leverage valuable insights and management integrations.

While many companies have settled on a singular video collaboration platform, others have realized that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t support their hybrid teams or diverse client base. Neat Bar and Neat Bar 2 in Neat Select mode offer greater flexibility and make high-quality video meetings more accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Neat Select lets you join your preferred video meeting platform or other applications by simply connecting your laptop to Neat Bar with an HDMI and USB-C cable or Neat Bar 2 with just a USB-C cable. Like using Neat Bar or Neat Bar 2 as native Zoom or Microsoft Teams devices, Neat Select equips you with all of Neat Bar and Neat Bar 2’s unique, powerful, and pioneering features, such as Neat Audio, Neat Symmetry, and Neat Boundary.

Use Neat Bar or Neat Bar 2 with Neat Pad for expanded capabilities

As mentioned, you can use Neat Bar and Neat Bar 2 in Neat Select mode with or without our sleek Neat Pad touchscreen controller. However, combining it with Neat Pad allows you to enjoy expanded capabilities and make ad hoc settings accessible to anyone in the room, such as muting microphones, adjusting volume, and choosing camera framing performance.

Best of all, Neat Select provides familiarity. You can quickly connect your own devices and technologies and enjoy all the benefits of a robust and versatile video collaboration bar while feeling more confident, efficient, and productive. It also addresses interoperability challenges by seamlessly integrating across different video collaboration platforms.

Enjoy central device management that’s simple, easy to view, and use

A key challenge with many BYOD solutions is that they’re difficult to centrally manage, provide IT or others with no visibility into how people utilize spaces and can deliver an inconsistent user experience. Thanks to Neat Pulse, when you use Neat Bar or Neat Bar 2 in Neat Select mode, you can centrally manage everything as part of your overall device deployment.

Neat Pulse also makes it easier for IT or others to maintain more than one Neat Bar or Neat Bar 2 as part of a multiple-device deployment. Your IT administrator or others can remotely control your Neat Bar devices (when you combine Neat Bar or Neat Bar 2 with Neat Pad in Neat Select mode) to support employees’ needs and help deliver a consistent, simple, reliable experience. Furthermore, data on real-time utilization and workspace environment is available in Neat Pulse and through powerful APIs for greater visibility and choice.

Neat Select for Neat Bar and Neat Bar 2 will be available in the first half of 2025 from our global channel partners or on neat.no.

In the meantime, experience Neat’s pioneering devices at the world-renowned annual tech show Integrated Systems Europe in Barcelona between February 4 and 7. Visit us at Booth #2U700, Hall 2. Registration code: NZ3VRG6R.
