What This Means for SA Resellers
Grandstream’s audio conference phone release adds to a product category that sees consistent demand in South African businesses as hybrid meetings — where some participants are in-person and others join remotely — become the norm. A quality conference phone in meeting rooms is no longer optional infrastructure; it is a fundamental requirement for any South African business conducting regular hybrid meetings. Poor audio quality in meeting rooms is one of the most commonly cited frustrations in hybrid work environments.
For SA resellers, conference phones represent both a standalone product sale and an upsell opportunity in larger UC deployments. Any client deploying a new phone system or upgrading their UC infrastructure has meeting rooms that require proper conference phone coverage — and the Grandstream conference phone range, available at competitive price points through South African distributors, is a natural complement to Grandstream or compatible IP phone deployments.
Resellers should note that the South African conference room market is moving towards video-enabled meeting room solutions (combining conference phones with room cameras and display systems), driven by the prevalence of Teams and Zoom as video meeting platforms. While audio-only conference phones remain relevant for smaller meeting rooms and huddle spaces, larger meeting rooms increasingly require integrated audio-visual solutions. SA resellers who build competency in both audio-only and AV-integrated conference room solutions will be better positioned to address the full range of client requirements as this market evolves.
