Recently our Sales Operations Manager, Joe Walberg, and Technical Sales Executive, Ren Kingdom, visited Yealink’s Experience Centre in Canary Wharf, London to gain a deeper understanding of Yealink’s latest AV solutions and collaboration technologies.
Despite facing a challenging commute during one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures reaching 36°C in London, the visit proved to be an invaluable experience and well worth the journey.
During their visit, Joe and Ren met with Naji Kaanan, Business Development Director for Yealink AV Sales UK, along with one of Yealink’s Technical Presales Engineers. Together, they explored Yealink’s extensive portfolio of products and discussed the additional services that ProVu can offer partners alongside Yealink solutions, including installation services, advance replacement options, and extended warranties.
A key part of the day focused on how Yealink’s product range compares within the wider collaboration and AV market. One of Yealink’s strongest differentiators is its commitment to certification and interoperability. Many of its devices are certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, while also supporting a wide range of plug-and-play integrations. The team was particularly impressed by the fact that Yealink’s MeetingBar range is fully MDEP-ready, helping customers future-proof their meeting room VC solutions.
What does “MDEP Ready” mean?
MDEP (Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform) is Microsoft’s enterprise-grade Android-based operating system designed specifically for business collaboration devices. Many products within Yealink’s portfolio are Microsoft Teams Certified and built to support MDEP.
Being MDEP-ready means Yealink’s MeetingBars and collaboration devices are designed to integrate with Microsoft’s ecosystem, providing simplified deployment, enhanced security, ongoing software support, and a more consistent user experience. For organisations investing in meeting room technology, this helps ensure long-term compatibility and easier device management.
Which Yealink AV Products Work Best Together?
The main focus for Yealink and ProVu is how the customer might use something, and create the best possible environment for the end user. Rather than focusing solely on individual devices, Yealink demonstrated how carefully selected product combinations can improve meeting room productivity and usability. Ren and Joe saw first-hand how Yealink’s camera technology, touch controls, and meeting room displays work together to deliver a streamlined and intuitive meeting experience.
One standout example was the combination of the MTower intelligent camera and the CTP25 touchscreen control panel. The CTP25 is part of the MeetingBar A25, A40, and A50 bundles, allowing organisations to choose a solution that best matches the size and requirements of their meeting rooms.

Biggest Takeaway? The Hands-On Experience
One of the most valuable aspects of the visit was the opportunity to see the technology operating in a real-world environment and to gain hands-on experience with the devices. Being able to interact directly with the products provided a much clearer understanding of their capabilities, use cases, and deployment options.
After a busy day of demonstrations, discussions, and product exploration, the group rounded off the visit with a well-earned drink together while taking a break from the summer heat.
Reflecting on the experience, both Ren and Joe agreed that seeing the technology in action gave them a far greater appreciation of Yealink’s solutions and how they can benefit ProVu’s partners and their customers.
