Barco wePresent vs Airtame 2

What’s the difference between Barco wePresent and Airtame?

Airtame and wePresent (acquired by Barco) offer wireless screen sharing. Both solutions provide a physical product (the receiver) which connects to an HDMI display (or VGA display with an adapter). Here we provide a feature comparison between Airtame 2 and the respective wePresent models. The discontinued WiPG-1000 has been excluded from the comparison. 

Please note that all technical specifications are taken directly from Barco’s website. In cases where pricing is not directly listed online, we include the quoted reseller price.

***Customers can choose between an annual ($120 per year per screen) or a monthly plan ($12 per month per screen) for Airtame Cloud Plus. Device management and basic digital signage with Airtame Cloud Lite are available to all customers at no additional cost.
