Austin, TX – July 2025— AV technology manufacturer Boom Collaboration has officially launched the Boom ARC, an advanced dual-host connectivity hub designed to revolutionize video conferencing and meeting room collaboration. The ARC offers seamless switching between in-room and BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) setups, setting a new standard for hybrid video conferencing systems.
A New Era in Hybrid Video Conferencing
The Boom ARC smart AV bridge enables automatic host switching, bridging the gap between dedicated room systems and personal laptop connections—all from a single, compact device. Designed for maximum flexibility, simplicity, and cross-platform compatibility, it supports Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Google Meet, and more.
“The video conferencing world moves fast—and we know we have to move even faster to stay ahead,” said Fredrik Hörnkvist, Co-Founder of Boom Collaboration. “The ARC is built for the hybrid reality we all work in. It automatically switches between room-based and BYOM setups while delivering USB-C power and HDMI flexibility—making it the most versatile AV switcher on the market.”
Why ARC Matters for Meeting Room AV
Post-pandemic, many organizations invested heavily in room-based video conferencing platforms. However, user behavior is shifting—employees increasingly prefer the ease of using their own devices. The Boom ARC solves this with a dual-host approach, enabling companies to protect existing investments while providing the flexibility their teams demand.
“It’s the best of both worlds,” Hörnkvist added. “You don’t have to choose between your in-room system or BYOM—you can have both in one setup.”
Key Features of the Boom ARC:
-
Automatic host switching between in-room and BYOM setups
-
USB-C with power delivery
-
HDMI 4x2 matrix switching
-
Flexible I/O ports for seamless AV integration
-
Platform-agnostic compatibility: works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and more
A Smarter AV Solution Built for Modern Collaboration
Holli Hulett, Co-Founder of Boom Collaboration, highlighted the strong response from the market:
“There’s been huge interest in the ARC because it blends plug-and-play simplicity with powerful performance. It’s platform-agnostic, intuitive, and reduces IT support needs in professional meeting spaces.”
The Boom ARC is especially valuable for AV integrators, resellers, and IT professionals looking to deploy scalable, future-proof video conferencing solutions in huddle rooms, medium conference rooms, and large boardrooms.
Expanding the Boom Ecosystem
The ARC follows the successful launch of the Boom ZYGO, a one-cable USB hub designed for simple BYOD meetings. Together, ARC and ZYGO expand Boom's portfolio of AV solutions, giving organizations the tools to meet today’s collaboration demands.
“The ARC is our new box of tricks that turns traditional conferencing on its head,” Hulett said. “From dual-platform meetings to HDMI switching and simplified cabling, it’s a huge leap forward in hybrid AV.”
