Product & compatibility
What is the NEXT Hub?
The NEXT® is an all-new display-upgrade device with a built-in Android OS and EDLA-certified interface. It attaches to interactive or non-interactive displays you already own and gives them the Google Play Store, Google apps, screen casting, a 120° 4K huddle camera and central device management — an eco-conscious, budget-friendly update for older displays.
Which displays does it work with?
NEXT Hub is designed to upgrade existing interactive and non-interactive displays — including common classroom and meeting-room panels (Promethean, Newline, ViewSonic, SMART and Clear Touch). Bring your panel models to a demo and we'll confirm fit for your fleet.
See compatible displays & specs →Does it really run Android 15 and Google?
Yes — the Hub is EDLA-certified, which licenses the full Google Play Store, Google Mobile Services and Android Enterprise management. *Some units may currently ship with Android 13 and update to Android 15 — ask in your demo for current firmware.
What's the built-in camera?
The NEXT's integrated HC200 web camera is ready for conferencing — 120° of 4K video supports remote and hybrid learning or meetings.
Setup & install
How hard is it to install?
Attach the Hub to your existing display, plug in, and switch the input — most rooms are done in well under an hour, with no removal of your current panel and no classroom or meeting-room downtime.
Can IT manage Hubs across many rooms?
Yes. Because the Hub is EDLA-certified Android, IT gets standard, supported device management — plus the Command software for cloud-based control of every panel (scheduling, updates, announcements) and Connect for single sign-on across Google, Microsoft, ClassLink and Clever.
The free 3-in-1 mic & the offer
Is the microphone really free?
Yes — the $499 NEXT 3-in-1 Microphone System is included free with every NEXT Hub. It's automatically added to your order at checkout. Free shipping also applies on orders of 5+ units.
What's in the 3-in-1 mic kit?
One wireless kit with three pieces: a wearable collar mic, a handheld mic, and a room-filling soundbar. The mics wirelessly connect to the built-in soundbar to amplify voices — two people can speak at once, so everyone is heard.
