Devio UCX 1000

What the Devio UCX 1000 does in a small meeting room

The Devio UCX 1000 is a compact meeting room hub that brings Microsoft Teams Rooms computing and Biamp digital signal processing into one unit. Instead of a separate conferencing PC, audio processor and control box, a small room can run on a single device with a 206 mm footprint, 37.3 mm height and a weight of 0.86 kg. It runs on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform, which is based on Android 15.

Audio processing and room tuning

Audio is processed on the hub itself. The chain includes AI noise reduction, AI reverb reduction, echo cancellation with residual echo reduction and automatic level control, which keeps speech levels balanced for people near the bar and at the far end of a table. Biamp Launch handles automated setup and room tuning and produces report cards that record the result, helping IT and facilities teams confirm each room was commissioned correctly.

Connections, power and network planning

Plan cable routes around the ports the hub actually provides:

• Display: one HDMI 2.0 output with CEC, supporting 4K at 60 Hz.
• Content input: a USB-C port that switches between content sharing and BYOM, with DisplayPort 1.4a alternate mode at 4K 30 Hz.
• Peripherals: three USB 3.0 Type-A ports and one USB-C port delivering 60 W power delivery for Parle ABC and VBC conferencing bars.
• Touch controller: a 30 W PoE+ port for the Apprimo Touch 10 UCX.
• Network: 100/1000 Ethernet as primary LAN, plus Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ac, 2x2 MIMO), Bluetooth LE 5.3 for proximity-based joining and a passive NFC tag.
• Audio: a 3.5 mm stereo assistive listening output and a 3.5 mm stereo auxiliary input for in-room playback.

The hub draws less than 150 W from a 50 to 57 V input. It supplies USB and PoE+ power to the conferencing bar and touch controller, so the room has one power point to manage.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three realistic settings suit this hub:

• A four- to six-person huddle room in a West Bay or Msheireb office, where one screen, a conferencing bar and a touch panel connect staff with colleagues in other cities or countries.
• A seminar or staff room at a training centre or university in Education City, where each room runs Microsoft Teams Rooms from the same repeatable setup.
• A project room at a real estate developer's office in Lusail, where a compact hub makes it simpler to standardise several rooms.

What to plan before you order

The hub's operating range is 0 to 40 °C, with 0 to 98% humidity, non-condensing, and altitudes up to 2,000 m. Summer temperatures in Qatar can pass 45 °C, so install it inside an air-conditioned meeting room rather than a glazed corridor, an outdoor enclosure or a dusty plant space. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to check the room layout, cable routes to the display and touch panel, and the position of the conferencing bar.

IT teams should prepare their Microsoft 365 environment before installation, because the hub is managed through Microsoft 365 Admin, Entra ID, Intune, the Teams Admin Center and the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal. Biamp Workplace adds remote status monitoring alongside other Biamp room devices. The manufacturer lists a 3-year warranty.

Organisations ordering several rooms can issue a purchase order (LPO) or bid for government tenders, including Monaqasat, and pay by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar and send us your room sizes, displays and conferencing bars so we can prepare an accurate proposal.
