Yealink MeetingBar for Dubai & the UAE.
Which bar — and which brain.
Six bars share the same black-fabric look and very different jobs. This page maps the whole line — A10, A25, A30, A40, A50 and the SmartVision 40 USB bar — to real rooms: the seat counts, the camera each one carries, the console it pairs with, and the three brain configurations that decide what your quotation says. Vector Digital Systems — Yealink Premium Partner for MEA, installing bars across the UAE since 2009.
- Seat count and room depth — the bar's real job
- The brain — Android on the bar, a Windows mini-PC, or your laptop
- The console — CTP18 or the one-cable CTP25
- Audio reach — built-in, expansion mics or ceiling audio
- The platform — Teams, Zoom or RingCentral, stated in writing
- Installation, tuning and one partner afterwards
Six bars that look alike — and do very different jobs
On a catalogue page they're a row of near-identical black bars. In a room, each one is a different decision.
One of them zooms optically across a deep room. One carries three cameras and hears a speaker ten metres away. One runs Teams on its own Android brain; another looks the same but has no brain at all and waits for your laptop. And when a Windows mini-PC joins any of them, the name on the quotation changes entirely — the A50 becomes the MVC S50, the SmartVision 40 becomes the heart of an MVC S40. Same glass, different system, different total.
This page is the map: every bar in the line matched to its room, the three brain configurations spelled out, the console pairings, and the audio expansion that takes a bar past its built-in reach. By the end, the row of identical black bars reads like a menu — and your room picks its own answer.
The MeetingBar line — six bars, mapped to their rooms
Every bar below is current-generation, in the line today. Seat counts are the design targets each one is built for.
One bar, three brains — the configuration decides your quotation
Every bar room lives in one of three configurations. The bar can stay the same — the brain changes the name, the licence and the total.
- The A-series runs the platform on its own Android system
- One-touch join, calendar on the CTP18 or CTP25 console
- MDEP-managed security on the current bars
- Room licence as its own written line
- Bar in USB mode + MCore mini-PC + MTouch console
- A50 + MCore 4 is quoted as the MVC S50
- SmartVision 40 + MCore Pro + MTouch E2 is the MVC S40
- Unlocks Multi-stream IntelliFrame with Copilot on Teams Rooms Pro
- SmartVision 40 is built for this — pure USB, plug and meet
- Any A-series bar switches to the same mode for guests
- Works with Teams, Zoom, Meet, Webex — anything on the laptop
- No room licence at all
Moving between configurations is part of the design, not a rebuild. A native bar drops into USB mode for a guest's laptop and returns to Teams when they leave; a bar bought today joins an MCore bundle next year with the same glass and the same mounts. The line is built so the room grows without starting over — and our quotations name the configuration, the licence position and the system name in writing, so the two quotes on your desk finally read in the same language.
What the current bars can do — twelve capabilities that shape the design
The datasheet covers cameras and microphones. These six shipped capabilities are where the room design actually gets decided.
Standalone BYOD, wired and instant
Through the VCH51 or VCH51 Pro hub, a bar serves a plugged-in laptop directly — full camera, mics and speakers over one cable, then back to native mode when the guest leaves. The VCH51 Pro single-cable hot-swap pairs with the A25, A40 and A50; the A10 and A30 handle BYOD over their own USB ports instead. The room hosts any platform without touching its own configuration.
Two sharing paths, both cable-optional
The PA20 pod shares wirelessly at the press of a button; the USB-C route through the console or BYOD-Extender carries 4K content and charges the laptop while it presents. Rooms get both — presenters choose in the moment.
Ceiling audio grows from the bar
A bar-based room extends into ceiling coverage: CM20 ceiling microphones and CS10 ceiling speakers over the RCH40 E2 switch — combinations up to two CM20s with four CS10s — with the bar's own speaker handing over gracefully when the ceiling takes charge.
IntelliVision with MTower
Add the MTower centre-of-table camera and the system frames the four most recent speakers front-on, choosing between the bar's view and the tower's automatically — remote attendees see faces, not the sides of heads.
Audio Fence draws the room's edge
The bar's pickup angle can be bounded, so a glass-walled meeting room in an open office hears its own table and not the sales floor behind it — the acoustic version of closing the door.
Every person, their own tile
In the Windows bundles, Multi-stream IntelliFrame presents each in-room participant as an individual video tile and ties into Microsoft Copilot for meeting intelligence — carried on the Teams Rooms Pro licence, named on the quotation.
AOSP — Android your IT can sign off
From May 2025, Microsoft enforces AOSP-compliant firmware on all Teams Android devices. Current bars run certified AOSP with managed updates — the enterprise security story that passes review instead of creating a separate approval track for each room.
People counting, without extra hardware
The A40 and A50 count the people in the room and report occupancy to your room management platform — no sensor purchase, no separate network device. The camera that runs the meeting also tells facilities whether the room is being used as booked.
Smart Gallery on Zoom — individual tiles, not a table shot
On Zoom Rooms, the A40 and A50 support Smart Gallery: each in-room participant appears as their own individual video tile for remote attendees. The same individual-presence intelligence Teams rooms get from Multi-stream IntelliFrame, available on the Zoom side of the same bar.
Video Fence — the camera stops at your wall
Glass-walled meeting rooms put the whole office behind the presenter. Video Fence — on the A25, A40 and A50 — marks the boundary of the meeting space: whatever sits outside it is neither seen nor heard by the far end. No passing colleague auto-framed mid-meeting, no corridor traffic pulling the shot. Alongside Audio Fence, it makes a glass room behave like a walled one.
A shutter that physically closes
Every current MeetingBar carries an electric privacy shutter — a physical lens cover, not a software toggle. When the meeting ends, the glass closes. For boardrooms where "is that camera on?" gets asked, the answer is visible from every seat.
Hearing-aid support through the line-out
The A10 and A30 route call audio to hearing-aid systems through their line-out — added in the 2025 firmware cycle and specified almost nowhere. If accessibility sits in your procurement requirements, say so in the survey; it shapes which bar and which audio path the quotation names.
Deploying MTower — the numbers we install by
The MTower centre-of-table camera transforms framing in bar rooms — when it's placed by the numbers.
The tower sits within 15 cm of the bar's lens centre-line, left or right, and within reach of the table's front edge so the first row stays in frame. Behind it, a 38-degree shielding zone keeps the display out of its own shot — at 2.2 metres of deployment distance that zone covers a 65-inch screen, and the zone itself is configured on the CTP25 console. IntelliVision engages automatically the moment the tower connects, working in Speaker Tracking and IntelliFocus modes, and the tower runs as the room's only expansion microphone — the bars run one microphone family at a time, cleanly, rather than mixing types. The A40 and A50 each take their own MTower firmware, which staging in our facility handles before install day. Numbers like these are the difference between a camera that impresses in a demo and one that still frames perfectly in month eighteen.
Three wiring standards every Vector bar install follows
The console runs wired
The CTP25 performs at its best on its Cat5e run — powered and networked by the same cable — so we cable every console rather than leaving it on Wi-Fi. Sharing and BYOD stay instant, every meeting, because the path under them is copper.
Single display, port one
When a room runs one screen, it lives on HDMI-out 1 — the port the bar treats as primary. A one-line wiring standard that keeps every menu, layout and share behaving exactly as designed. Both HDMI outputs carry CEC, so the bar wakes and sleeps the display itself — walk in for a booked meeting and the screen is already on.
Modes are set on purpose
Native rooms answer the room's own calendar; BYOD sessions belong to the laptop that starts them. We configure which mode greets an incoming call so reception behaviour matches how your team actually books meetings — decided at staging, documented at handover.
MeetingBar bars register to your PABX — a capability most bar pages never mention
Every MeetingBar on the current line supports SIP registration in General Mode — meaning the bar joins your existing telephone system as a SIP extension: Grandstream UCM, 3CX, Yeastar S and P-series, Asterisk, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Avaya IP Office. It registers to Etisalat Business Voice and du SIP trunks directly. This means a room that runs native Teams or Zoom for VC calls can also receive and place internal telephone calls through the PABX, with the bar appearing as an extension on your dial plan. For Dubai businesses with existing PABX infrastructure, this is the capability that removes the "separate phone in the room" requirement. The PABX configuration is handled during our installation — not a separate IT project. If you currently have a 3CX or Grandstream system and are specifying bar rooms, mention it in your enquiry — it changes how the install is planned.
CTP18 or CTP25 — the console decides the cabling
Two consoles serve the line. The CTP18 pairs with the A10, A25 and A30 — an 8-inch touch panel that puts the calendar, one-touch join and camera control on the table. The CTP25 pairs with the A40 and A50 and changes the wiring itself: a single Cat5e run powers and networks the console, and a single USB-C from console to laptop carries 4K sharing, BYOD and charging at once. On the smart-room side, the RoomSensor links to the RoomPanel over Bluetooth so an empty room releases its own booking. The consoles, sensors and booking panels each have their place in the wider system — the ecosystem page maps how every piece connects.
Matching the bar to the room — sized from the last seat back
The seat counts tell most of the story: A10 and A25 for 2–5, A40 for 5–12, the A30 for 8–12 where optical zoom earns its place, the A50 for 7–15. Two physical facts sit behind them.
First, microphone reach: the built-in arrays hear cleanly to roughly six metres — ten on the A50 — and past that, expansion or ceiling microphones stop being options and become the design. Second, the last seat: the camera must still deliver a readable face at the farthest chair, which is why the A30's optical zoom wins deep narrow rooms while the A50's triple-camera width wins wide ones. Past fifteen seats or eight metres of depth, the answer moves beyond bars entirely — into the SmartVision 80 and AVHub territory our large meeting rooms page engineers, with the camera families mapped on their own page. Send the room depth with your enquiry and the right bar names itself.
The bar line has evolved — here's what succeeded what
A20 → A25
The A25 carries the huddle-room torch forward — a triple-camera system with a wider 151° view, MDEP-managed Android and the one-cable CTP25 option. If the A20 is the name you know, the A25 is its successor, and the sizing carries straight over.
CTP20 → CTP25
The console evolved with the bars: the CTP25 brings the single-Cat5e power-and-network run and the USB-C share-and-charge path that define the current one-cable deployment.
WPP20 → PA20 · VCM34 → VCM35
The sharing pod moved to the PA20, and the expansion microphone to the VCM35 with 5-metre pickup and daisy-chaining. Pairing current accessories keeps firmware and warranty support running long.

WhatsApp the Export Desk →What MeetingBar clients say
"Vector asked for one photo and the room depth, then recommended the A50 with the CTP25 — and explained the one-cable wiring before we'd even asked. Install took a morning; the join button has worked every day since."
"Our training room is nine metres deep and narrow. They specified the A30 for its optical zoom instead of the bigger bar we assumed we needed — the trainer's whiteboard is readable from the recording, which is the whole point of the room."
"Twenty SmartVision 40 bars for our BYOD rooms across Nairobi and Kampala, shipped with mounts, cables and a one-page setup sheet per room. Our engineers had every room live within a week of the cartons landing."
