How is Biamp responding to the ever-changing needs of the FM world?

Biamp is renowned for innovation. We’re driven to continually develop industry leading AV technologies that give FMs peace of mind knowing the solutions we deliver are easily updated to accommodate any organization’s evolving needs. 

A prime example of Biamp’s focus on developing future proof technologies for FM professionals is our Cambridge Qt X sound masking platform. Qt X offers unparalleled scalability for FMs tasked with providing a comfortable, productive office environment while also ensuring flexibility that enables seamless integration with convenience paging and background audio sources on a single secure network.  

In addition, our Vocia voice communication solution delivers the ideal set of features and benefits for FMs tasked with implementing secure, scalable and failsafe network-based communications capabilities company-wide.   

What’s on the horizon in AV tech and how is Biamp meeting those challenges and opportunities?

An increasing focus on the workplace experience means the audiovisual industry is tasked with developing technology solutions that help FMs enhance office spaces for employees and visitors. Solutions that help create productive, engaging, and safe work environments that promote collaboration, well-being, and employee satisfaction will continue to grow in demand.  

With greater concerns about environmental impact, FMs are increasingly responsible for implementing sustainable practices and promoting energy efficiency within facilities. For example, with a push toward increased “daylighting” in building designs, often in pursuit of LEED and/or WELL certification, FMs are presented with office noise challenges. Increasing a building’s natural light coverage means more glass, both in terms of external windows and interior partitions. Glass performs poorly as a noise blocker, thus contributing to an increase in overall office noise. 

Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for FMs to be flexible and adaptable. They have had to navigate changing work patterns that contribute to inconsistent noise levels, which cause workplace distractions that reduce employee comfort and productivity.  

Biamp remains hyper focused on developing and continuously improving our building infrastructure solutions, such as sound masking and paging technologies, that address the evolving needs of facility managers. 

Why should FMs choose Biamp as a partner?

For more than 45 years, Biamp has created professional audiovisual solutions that enable great collaboration, enhanced workplace safety, improved employee comfort, and greater productivity. From the smallest of rooms to the largest of venues, we empower true human connection in every space.  

Our desire to exceed the accepted standards of audiovisual technology is matched only by our commitment to our customers. We partner with a vast network of industry leading solutions integrators who specialize in FM technologies. And with initial design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, and post-installation support all managed within Biamp facilities, our integrator partners enjoy shorter lead times, faster response, and greater convenience—which combine to deliver superior experiences for FMs and their end-users. 

As we grow to meet our customers’ needs and evolve to address the challenges FMs will face tomorrow, Biamp will continue helping to ensure workplace environments are as safe, comfortable, and productive as possible.
