Logitech Tap

What the Logitech Tap does in a meeting room

The Logitech Tap replaces a scattering of room controls with one 10.1-inch touch display that starts a scheduled video call in a single touch. It works with Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet, so the same controller can serve whichever platform your organisation has standardised on. It sits alongside the room computer rather than replacing it, which makes it a practical upgrade for rooms that already have a conferencing PC.

Cabling, power and the 40 m reach

Tap connects to the room computer over USB. The Cat5e kit includes a Tap receiver, a dongle transceiver and two Cat5e cables measuring 2.97 m and 7.0 m, and the kit supplies inline power to the controller over the same cable. Where the run needs to be longer, customer-supplied category cabling can be used, with a combined maximum of 40 m. That reach lets the controller sit close to participants while the computer stays in a cabinet, under a table or behind a display.

Screen, sensing and mounting options

The screen is a 10.1-inch capacitive touch display at 1280 x 800 pixels, with an oleophobic and anti-glare coating and a 14° display angle. An integrated PIR motion sensor supports always-on readiness, and the controller includes an integrated ultrasonic speaker and a 3.5 mm headset jack. Three optional mounts cover different layouts. The table mount keeps a low profile and swivels 180° so both sides of the table can reach it. The riser mount raises the viewing angle from 14° to 30° for better visibility across the room. The wall mount sits flush against the wall and includes a magnetic cable clip and dock for the HDMI cable.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Boardroom in a government authority in Msheireb: the controller sits on a table grommet while the Windows PC stays in a cabinet, so calls with colleagues abroad start in one touch.
• Seminar room in Education City: the riser mount helps attendees at the back see the screen while staff join Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms meetings.
• Training room for an energy company in Mesaieed: a wall-mounted controller keeps the table clear, and the magnetic clip keeps the HDMI cable within reach but out of the way.

What to check before you order

Start with the room computer. Tap needs Windows 10 or later, or ChromeOS 80 or later, a USB 2.0 or higher Type A port, and a USB Type C port for the Tap receiver. It can also use an HDMI input for 1080p video and audio content sharing. Plan the cable route so the total run stays within 40 m, and note that the power supply is rated 100-240 V and ships with an international adaptor set. The published specification does not list an operating temperature range, so ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the environment before fitting the controller anywhere other than an air-conditioned room, such as a window-facing area exposed to sun and dust.

Ordering for several rooms

A free site survey confirms cable runs, desk layout and mount choice before anything is ordered. Organisations buying for several rooms, such as a school, a hotel group or a government authority, can issue one purchase order (LPO) or reference a tender.
