Singapore, 14 August 2025 – Jabra, a global leader in professional audio and video collaboration solutions, proudly announces the launch of the PanaCast 40 VBS (Video Bar System), the world’s only small room Android-powered video bar featuring an industry-leading 180° field of view (FoV). Built to capture the entire room with crystal-clear video and audio, the PanaCast 40 VBS is designed to transform traditionally underserved small meeting spaces into highly effective collaboration hubs.
Meeting the Evolving Needs of Modern Workspaces.
As hybrid and flexible work environments become increasingly the norm, organizations face the growing challenge of maximizing the potential of small meeting rooms, phone booths, and huddle spaces. Despite their importance, less than 3% of huddle rooms globally are equipped with video conferencing technology, leading to underutilized spaces and missed opportunities for seamless collaboration. Traditional video conferencing systems often fail to capture all participants equally, especially those sitting near the display, creating an uneven communication experience.
The PanaCast 40 VBS bridges this gap by delivering an all-in-one, purpose-built solution that reimagines collaboration for small rooms. Featuring dual cameras with advanced stitching technology, the device captures a seamless 180° panoramic view with 4x digital zoom, ensuring every participant is visible regardless of seating position. This guarantees an inclusive virtual meeting experience where no one is left out of the frame.
Exceptional Audio Clarity for Natural Conversations.
Jabra’s extensive audio expertise is evident in the PanaCast 40 VBS’s sound system, which incorporates a single high-quality speaker and six adaptive beamforming microphones. Coupled with intelligent audio processing algorithms developed across the GN Group, this configuration delivers exceptional voice clarity and accurate sound pickup. Whether in a large or small room, remote participants can hear and engage effortlessly, making virtual meetings more natural, productive, and inclusive.
By combining wide-angle video coverage with best-in-class audio quality, the PanaCast 40 VBS transforms a modest room into a comfortable and well-equipped collaboration space. Facility managers are empowered to unlock the full potential of these small rooms, turning them into valuable assets within the modern office landscape.
Engineered for Ease and Speed of Deployment.
The PanaCast 40 VBS emphasizes simplicity and speed from unboxing to first use. Its intuitive design allows even first-time users to complete installation and setup within minutes, removing typical barriers to adoption. Key to this streamlined deployment is innovative packaging which enables provisioning without needing to remove the device from its box. Additionally, simplified cable routing and cable protection enhance installation efficiency and ensure a clean, professional appearance in any room.
To provide uniform user experiences and straightforward administration, the PanaCast 40 VBS shares many accessories and components with its medium room counterpart, the PanaCast 50 VBS, facilitating seamless management and easy scaling across different meeting environments.
Future-Proof Flexibility and Integration.
Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern hybrid workplaces, the PanaCast 40 VBS supports a flexible range of deployment options. It is fully certified for Android environments and is compatible with popular video conferencing platforms including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or permanent BYOD setups.
Additional product enhancements include optional accessories such as a touch controller for intuitive room control and a detachable faceplate designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. Customers may also purchase a bundled package combining the PanaCast 40 VBS with the touch controller for a comprehensive small room collaboration kit.
Integration with ecosystem partners ensures the PanaCast 40 VBS remains an adaptable, future-ready solution. Organizations benefit from ongoing firmware updates and feature enhancements managed via the Jabra+ software platform, while Jabra Warranty+ provides peace of mind with extended product support.
A Message from Jabra Singapore.
Rayson Seow, Country Manager, Enterprise, Singapore, commented: “The modern workplace is undergoing rapid transformation, with small rooms and huddle spaces playing a crucial role in fostering productivity and collaboration. Yet these spaces have often been overlooked by traditional video conferencing solutions. The PanaCast 40 VBS addresses this by offering a flexible, intuitive, and future-proof video collaboration tool that empowers teams to connect effortlessly—no matter the room size or platform choice.”
