1 Overview
About This Chapter
The HUAWEI VPM220W wireless microphone array (VPM220W) is a wireless audio pickup
device that can seamlessly integrate with HUAWEI TEX0 series videoconferencing endpoints
and HUAWEI DP300 videoconferencing endpoint.
The VPM220W uses three microphones spaced 120 degrees apart, offering 360-degree audio
pickup at a radius of up to 6 meters. The VPM220W offers premium audio input to
videoconferencing endpoints, significantly contributing to a more pleasant conference
experience.
1.1 Features
Flexible Access
The VPM220W connects to a videoconferencing endpoint over Wi-Fi. When you use the
VPM220W for the first time, you will need to manually search for an available Wi-Fi
network. The next time you use the VPM220W, it automatically connects to the same
endpoint.
The VPM220W can be easily moved based on the number of meeting participants and
the layout of the venue. This avoids the inconvenience associated with wired
microphones.
The VPM220W network is simple and because its microphones directly communicate
with the videoconferencing endpoint over Wi-Fi, it ensures stable signals and strong
anti-interference capabilities. However, the VPM220W does not support cascading.
Reliable and Easy to Use
The VPM220W has a mute button on top of the device. Tapping the mute button will
mute or unmute all the VPM220Ws of the same site.
You can use the VPM220W directly after it starts up without performing any additional
configurations.
The VPM220W is equipped with a rechargeable battery and comes with a charger base
that can recharge one or more VPM220Ws simultaneously. A fully charged VPM220W
provides up to 8 hours of active time and 24 hours of standby time.
