What’s the difference between Intel Unite and Airtame 2?
Airtame products offer a more feature-rich and versatile solution compared to Intel Unite. Airtame provides both hardware and virtual options, while Intel Unite lacks hardware support and has been discontinued.
With Airtame, users benefit from advanced remote management features like bulk device management, scheduled firmware updates, and device alerts. These are not available in Intel Unite. Airtame also supports multiple screen-sharing protocols such as Miracast, Airplay, and Google Cast, making it more flexible for users to share content from different devices.
In hybrid conferencing, Airtame Hub + Hybrid and Virtual Airtame + Hybrid stand out by integrating popular tools like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet—something Intel Unite doesn’t offer.
Airtame also includes support for video and audio peripherals, and its digital signage features include 4K resolution and third-party integrations, which Intel Unite lacks. Overall, Airtame provides more functionality, flexibility, and future-proofing, making it a stronger choice for businesses.
