AeriCast

AeriCast develops software for organizations that want meeting-room screens to do more than accept a cable connection. Its platform combines wireless presentation, video-conferencing peripheral access and centrally managed digital signage so the same display can support active meetings and useful content between meetings.

The company is based in Houston, Texas, and publishes direct business contact information for buyers and support teams. Its products are designed for offices, schools, coworking spaces and other environments where many users need to share screens or join calls without relying on proprietary room hardware.

AeriCast takes a hardware-agnostic approach. Its receiver software can run on supported Windows, Mac, Android and Linux devices, and its presentation workflow can let users enter a room code from a browser instead of installing a dedicated presentation application. For organizations that need deeper meeting integration, AeriCast Meet connects room cameras, microphones and speakers to conferencing applications such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet through AeriCast software components.

The platform also includes digital signage capabilities for displaying calendars, room schedules, dashboards, announcements, images, video and other information when a screen is not being used for a presentation. Administrators can manage screens and content from a central cloud interface, while paid plans add capabilities such as advanced signage integrations, SAML SSO, user permissions and room-booking integrations.

AeriCast is best suited to buyers comparing software-led collaboration systems with hardware-heavy wireless presentation appliances. Organizations should still evaluate network requirements, supported receiver devices, desired conferencing peripherals and the management controls included in each plan before standardizing on the platform.
