DTEN Announces New D7X All-In-One Touch-Enabled Displays to Support Hybrid Collaboration

Analyst Take: In what I view as a natural next step, DTEN has announced the D7X All-In-One, touch-enabled collaboration display. DTEN is a provider of video-first, touch-enabled conferencing solutions based in San Jose, California.

As adopting organizations work to optimize physical office space for hybrid work, there’s an increased focus on agnostic collaboration devices. DTEN has been tied to Zoom for years, but recently the company added Microsoft Teams support to its offerings. By creating a portfolio of products that work with the collaboration platform of choice, DTEN is broadening its obtainable market and creating end-customer relationships that can outlast the current software stack.

Hybrid Work Requires Great Collaboration Experiences

To be competitive in today’s market, collaboration devices must be flexible enough to satisfy the workflow at hand while retaining the ease of management needed for deployments at scale. To accomplish this, the DTEN D7X Series is offered in two sizes, 55” and 75” models, both available in a Windows edition at launch. Later this fall, the D7X will add an Android edition to complete the portfolio. All D7X Series devices include an all-in-one design featuring AI-powered video, and AI automation for enhanced audio, in addition to collaborative whiteboard functionality. Further enhancing the capabilities, the D7X Series is better equipped to address hybrid environments through a 15-element microphone array and extra-wide 129-degree FOV 4K wide-angle camera. Rounding out the flexibility, users connect a personal device through a single USB-C cable that provides touch-back control for local or hybrid meetings.

DTEN D7X Series for Meeting Rooms and Home Offices

With the introduction of the DTEN D7X Series, ideal applications span huddle, small, medium, and large meeting spaces, in addition to home offices. Between two size offerings and multiple operating systems, the D7X Series is well suited to address complex spaces. With Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) touch-back included in the D7X Series, interactive collaboration is available across all applications. The next generation of collaboration devices will shape the hybrid workplace for years to come, and with devices like the DTEN D7X Series, the future looks to be hybrid enabled with the ultimate end-user flexibility.
