Xyte unveiled new room management capabilities and announced a strategic partnership with NETGEAR.

The company said adding the room management capabilities was to shift workplace operations from device-level monitoring to room-level intelligence and the partnership was to deliver AI-driven AV management. Both of these announcements will be showcased at ISE 2026.

The partnership is designed to combine NETGEAR’s AV-over-IP portfolio with Xyte’s edge software.

“Our mission has always been to make every AV deployment cloud-ready from day one,” said Omer Brookstein, CEO and co-founder of Xyte. “By integrating NETGEAR’s AV-over-IP switching with Xyte’s edge and cloud capabilities, we’re giving system integrators a single pane of glass for real-time telemetry, AI-guided troubleshooting and lifecycle services. NETGEAR is the backbone of so many AV networks, and together we can modernize how the entire industry deploys, manages and supports these systems.”

NETGEAR said this partnership is an important moment for the industry, and that it is designed to make it easier for integrators and IT teams to support complex AV environments.

The launch of new room management capabilities offers a room-focused approach to the modern workplace.

“Modern workplaces don’t fail because a single device breaks. They fail when the room as a system breaks,” said Omer Brookstein, Xyte CEO and co-founder. “A room is a system of systems, bringing together devices, sensors, software and human experience. By unifying that context at the room level, we turn raw operational data into intelligence, and that’s what enables AI to drive outcomes at scale.”

Capabilities provide a unified view of room health, status and activity across entire portfolios. Built-in analytics and AI-driven insights empower these capabilities and allow IT teams to, as the company said, focus on outcomes rather than alerts.
