DALLAS, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Biamp Systems, a global leader in professional audio and video solutions based in Beaverton, Oregon today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Huddle Room Technology Srl ("HRT") based in Modena, Italy.  The acquisition adds the most innovative family of wireless content sharing and video communication in the industry to Biamp's extensive range of meeting room solutions.  Biamp is a portfolio company of Highlander Partners L.P., a leading private investment firm based in Dallas, Texas.

HRT is the inventor of and leader in wireless technology that creates the most effective experience for wireless presentation and video collaboration in meeting and huddle rooms.  Its flagship product, the Huddle Hub, allows computers and mobile devices to connect to room peripherals including displays, speakers, microphones, and cameras without any physical connection.  Once connected, users can display content, launch applications, and engage in meetings using their preferred applications on their own familiar device.  Unlike competing solutions, the Huddle Hub adds multi-user screen sharing which allows several users to share content to the room display simultaneously.

"The acquisition of HRT is further demonstration of Biamp's capacity as a global AV platform," commented Ben Slater, Managing Director at Highlander Partners and Co-Chairman of Biamp.  "We are rapidly and effectively extending our product portfolio with both industry leading in-house development as well as targeted M&A.  We welcome Stefano Spattini and his team to the Biamp family and look forward to introducing HRT technology to our partners and end customers around the world."

"HRT has shown impressive vision and technical expertise designing the Huddle Hub to create a truly unique and potent meeting device," said Rashid Skaf, President, CEO, and Co-Chairman of Biamp.  "Providing wireless USB, screen sharing, screen rebroadcasting and Smart Room integration all from one platform will allow us to create truly extraordinary experiences for our customers.  HRT is a natural and complementary addition to Biamp's portfolio that we're certain will be well received by integrators and end users alike."

"I'm extremely proud of the technology and products we have developed at HRT," added Stefano Spattini, CEO of HRT.  "The Huddle Hub has unparalleled potential to improve the global meeting experience.  Joining Biamp aligns us with a partner who is equally excited by what we've built and has the market reach and resources to take full advantage of what our solutions have to offer.  I'm enthusiastic about what we will achieve together."

Jeff L. Hull, Highlander President and CEO, also added "HRT's cutting edge technology will further enhance Biamp's offering in the evolving modern day corporate environment.  Highlander has been very active in identifying and acquiring innovative technologies for Biamp that heighten its market leading position.  HRT is another example of that strategy.  We intend to continue this successful buy-and-build approach."
