Mersive Adds Android Mirroring Capability To Its Solstice Product Line

New Solstice Pod is now Generally Available

Mersive, a leading provider of software-based collaboration solutions, recently announced it has introduced Android mirroring to its Solstice wireless presentation and collaboration product line, including the award-winning Solstice Software and the new Solstice Pod, which was announced last month and became generally available today.

The Solstice Pod is the ideal solution for customers without a dedicated room PC while Solstice Software isavailable for those with existing room-based PCs.

Both Solstice Software and the Solstice Pod feature Android mirroring support from mobile devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop. The addition of Android mirroring support with Solstice further expands the ability for users to share content seamlessly from their mobile devices to the Solstice display without the need for video cables, increasing the flow of information in the meeting room for improved collaboration and decision making.

"The Android mirroring feature is a direct result of both innovation of the Android OS and Mersive's ability to leverage those developments and add new features quickly as a software-based solution," says Mersive CTO, Christopher Jaynes. "The availability of the Solstice Pod opens up a whole new realm of possibilities in terms of how and where Solstice is used."

With the addition of Android mirroring to Solstice's existing iOS mirroring capabilities, Solstice becomes the only software-basedproduct in market to offer mirroring support for the two leading mobile device platforms.

For access to Android mirroring as well as other new features on the Solstice Pod, all users, regardless of platform, will need to update the Solstice client software apps on their laptops and mobile devices.
