HP Poly Unveils New Hybrid Work Collaboration Innovations at ISE 2026
HP Poly strengthened its hybrid work portfolio at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 in Barcelona with a suite of collaboration technologies designed to improve meeting quality, simplify room integration and support distributed teams across modern workplaces. The announcements span new headsets, platform updates, BYOD room experiences and advanced video systems, reflecting HP’s focus on reliable audio and video collaboration, flexible deployment options and solutions that perform well in hybrid work environments.
For Australian organisations upgrading AV and collaboration spaces across offices, campuses and shared environments, the HP Poly innovations unveiled at ISE 2026 provide practical, future-ready technology that aligns with current hybrid work needs.
HP Poly Mission Series: Reliable Audio for Hybrid Work
At ISE 2026, HP Poly introduced the HP Poly Mission Series, a new family of corded USB headsets designed to deliver clear, dependable audio for hybrid meetings.
The lineup includes multiple tiers designed to address a range of noise environments and user preferences:
- Mission 400 Series – entry-level, comfortable headsets for everyday work.
- Mission 600 Series – dual noise-cancelling microphones for cleaner voice capture.
- Mission 800 Series – four noise-cancelling microphones and enhanced ANC for demanding environments.
All Mission Series headsets feature AI-driven noise cancellation and super-wideband audio to reduce distracting background sound. They are certified for integration with major meeting platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Google Voice, ensuring reliable performance across hybrid workflows.
HP Poly VideoOS 5.0: Next-Gen Platform for Intelligent Meetings
Alongside hardware, HP Poly announced HP Poly VideoOS 5.0, a major update to its collaboration operating system built on Android 13.
The new platform delivers architectural enhancements intended to support future features and extend device lifecycles. This includes:
- Improved video processing and camera control.
- Enhanced onboard noise blocking and audio mixing.
- Faster touch controller response and user interface improvements.
- Native support for Microsoft Teams and Zoom Rooms.
- Foundations for advanced multi-camera capabilities in future releases.
VideoOS 5.0 sets a foundation for ongoing innovation, providing stable, long-term performance across Poly video devices and enabling organisations to deploy hardware with confidence that it will remain current as software evolves.
BYOD Rooms Made Simpler with Poly Studio V12 and Thunderbolt Dock
In response to the persistent challenges of shared and BYOD room setups, HP Poly showcased a solution combining the Poly Studio V12 video bar with the HP Thunderbolt 4 180W G6 Dock.
This pairing delivers:
- Single-cable connectivity that unifies display, audio, camera and network signals.
- Universal support for Windows, Mac and Chromebook laptops.
- Integrated power delivery and device charging during meetings.
The design aims to reduce setup complexity and improve meeting transitions in huddle rooms and shared spaces. Management and firmware updates are supported through HP Poly Lens, giving IT teams a centralised way to monitor and administer devices without switching tools.
Immersive Collaboration with HP Dimension and Google Beam
HP Poly also demonstrated HP Dimension with Google Beam, an AI-supported immersive 3D video communications system designed for more natural, presence-like interaction.
By combining multi-camera capture, adaptive lighting, spatial audio and AI processing, the solution delivers a three-dimensional meeting experience without headsets or wearables. Use cases range from executive briefings to interactive group meetings where visual context and natural eye contact can add value.
While still early in deployment, HP’s demos at ISE showed how immersive video technology could influence future hybrid collaboration experiences.
What This Means for the Australian Collaboration Market
Across Australia, organisations refining hybrid work technology strategies are prioritising:
- Consistently high-quality audio and video across devices and spaces.
- Simplified AV integration for BYOD and shared meeting rooms.
- Solutions with long-term platform support and update paths.
- Compatibility with major conferencing platforms.
- Tools that streamline IT management without added complexity.
The HP Poly innovations introduced at ISE 2026 address these needs with hardware and software designed for everyday hybrid work environments and real organisational use cases.
With deep experience deploying HP Poly collaboration solutions across Australian corporate, education, healthcare and government sectors, Pro AV Solutions supports organisations in selecting, implementing and scaling hybrid collaboration technology that aligns with their strategic goals.
