Johannesburg, 29 June 2026 — Electrosonic SA has announced the addition of the HUAWEI eKit IdeaHub range of intelligent collaboration devices to its product portfolio, complementing its established MAXHUB collaboration range while expanding the company’s offering in interactive displays for education, training, and corporate environments across South Africa.
AV systems are no longer isolated room technologies.
They now influence operational efficiency, collaboration, teaching consistency, customer experience, support demand and long-term infrastructure scalability across entire organisations.
AViA 2026: AV in Action brings together integrated AV technologies across corporate, education, control, distribution, retail and hospitality environments through structured, real-world solution showcases built around how organisations operate today.
As hybrid collaboration expands and meeting environments grow larger, IT teams are under pressure to deliver seamless BYOM experiences — without signal degradation or complex cabling.
The OIP-N BYOM USB Extension integrates the OIP-N40E encoder and OIP-N60D decoder, converting USB audio, video, and control into IP packets transmitted over standard CAT5e/6 networks. By leveraging existing infrastructure, organizations can extend USB connectivity across rooms — or even floors — without specialized cabling.
Today, many AV installations blend multiple technologies with a variety of digital, analog, USB, HDMI and IP inputs and outputs.
Lumens OIP-N is designed to bridge between traditional analog audio systems, computer interfaces and modern IP-based infrastructures. It allows enterprises and institutions to easily convert existing audio and video equipment to IP for efficient network transmission. The result is a simple and efficient path towards more flexible environments, optimized for better communication.
