Pleneo has announced its launch as a new collaboration technology company, introducing a fresh approach to medium and large meeting rooms. Built by the team behind Xilica, a 25-year professional audio brand with thousands of large rooms deployed globally, Pleneo combines deep experience in complex spaces with a new operating model designed for modern IT and UC environments.
While small meeting rooms are now routinely deployed as standard IT endpoints, larger rooms are still delivered room by room—making them harder to deploy, more complex to operate, and increasingly difficult to manage consistently as organizations scale. Pleneo has been created to address this gap.
Rather than treating each room as a bespoke project, Pleneo focuses on enabling rooms to behave and be managed as a single system, enabling simple deployment for IT teams and clearer, more repeatable delivery for UC and AV channel partners.
“Large meeting rooms are no longer special cases,” said James Knight, CEO of Pleneo. “They’re increasingly part of the core collaboration estate, and they need to fit naturally into IT and UC operating models. Pleneo was created to offer a new way forward—one that makes large rooms easier to deploy, easier to operate, with a user experience ready for what collaboration is becoming.”
At the heart of Pleneo is Room OS, a software-driven operating layer that defines how medium and large meeting rooms are deployed and operated. Room OS combines secure, on-device intelligence with cloud-based orchestration via Pleneo Cloud, enabling zero-touch provisioning of component-based room systems.
Audio, video, and room peripherals are brought together into a single, manageable environment to deliver consistent, high-quality deployments without manual intervention or room setting adjustments. Plus, Room OS is built with enterprise security, scalability, and operational ownership at its core, supporting local data sovereignty and aligning with recognized standards including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.
Pleneo's approach is anchored by RoomHub, the physical heart of the Pleneo room. RoomHub brings secure, localized edge intelligence into the room while remaining tightly integrated with Pleneo Cloud. By processing audio and video at the edge, RoomHub enables advanced capabilities while keeping latency low and sensitive data local.
By standardizing how rooms are deployed, commissioned and managed, Pleneo removes much of the uncertainty traditionally associated with larger room projects. Rooms can be delivered and managed as complete systems rather than collections of individual devices, enabling more predictable outcomes, cleaner handover, and consistent rollout at scale across sites.
Pleneo, which will exhibit at ISE 2026 (Booth 2R500), launches with immediate product availability through a global distribution network spanning more than 60 countries, supported by customer success teams across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, India, and Asia.
