The Embrava Desk Sign — WiFi Hot-Desk Booking Display transforms unmanaged open floors into self-service hot-desk environments that staff understand immediately and IT can manage at scale. The 2.8-inch colour LCD touch panel displays live desk status — Available, Reserved, or In-Use — and processes RFID badge or NFC phone check-ins in under 200 milliseconds. Employees walk up, tap, and go. The Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n radio connects the device directly to your booking platform of choice, meaning every tap on the screen becomes a real-time utilisation event in your analytics dashboard. Power is supplied over USB-C, making deployment on desk edges and partition clamps straightforward with a single cable. The DS2-W-RN is the entry-point model in the Desk Sign range, combining the core booking and check-in experience with a clean wireless-only architecture.
