AVer FONE700 Ceiling Speakerphone System for Meeting Spaces
The AVer FONE700 combines a ceiling speakerphone with a DSP hub to provide room audio for USB-based video meetings. Its microphone array, full-duplex audio processing, and 360-degree pickup make it a strong choice when you want the meeting table clear of desktop speakerphones and need consistent voice coverage across the room.
It fits commercial meeting spaces of varying sizes and can expand to up to four daisy-chained speakerphones. The hub connects to a room PC, up to two AVer USB cameras, displays, and other audio equipment, but the installation must be planned around the ceiling structure, recommended mounting height, and any platform account, room-system license, or additional mounting hardware required for the complete deployment.

Compatibility
- Meeting and collaboration platforms: USB Audio Class connections support Zoom, Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Teams Rooms, RingCentral, and Google Meet, among others. Microsoft Teams certification and RingCentral certification are separately verified; the FONE700 connects through a room PC rather than functioning as a standalone platform appliance.

- Audio systems: the 3.5 mm line-out can connect to an external speaker or hearing-aid system. The receiving hearing-aid system and installation should be validated for compatibility.
- Required compute and supporting equipment: a room PC is required for USB-based conferencing, along with the selected conferencing-platform account or room-system license where applicable. Displays, cameras, and additional mounting hardware are project-dependent.
- Expansion and installation: up to four speakerphones can be daisy-chained with AVer-supplied RJ45 cables. Additional speakerphones, longer RJ45 cables, a ceiling mount kit, Bluetooth dongle, and IR receiver cable are optional accessories.
Licensing, Warranty & Support
No paid subscription or software license is required for basic USB/USB Audio Class operation of the FONE700. A conferencing-platform account or Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, or other room-system license may still be required separately by the selected provider. PTZApp 2 is free software for firmware updates, acoustic settings, operating-status diagnosis, and AVer Virtual Audio streaming; advanced remote settings are available through a web browser. The speakerphone and hub carry a 3-year warranty, while accessories carry a 1-year warranty. AVer also provides first-year advanced replacement within 72 hours in the Continental USA, Alaska, and Hawaii. Manufacturer support resources include manuals, firmware, release notes, engineering drawings, USB API/control-code resources, technical-support requests, warranty and return information, RMA requests, and product registration. Before ordering, confirm the room PC, display, conferencing-platform licensing, ceiling-mount method, ceiling structure, and any optional brackets or cables needed for the installation. AVer classifies the product as a Class A digital device and warns that residential operation may cause radio interference; it is better suited to commercial environments.
