'We love a good challenge': Logitech head tells us why the AI age could revolutionize collaboration as we know it, as it reveals its biggest product overhaul in years
As more and more companies press their workers into coming back into the office, even if only for a few days in increasingly popular hybrid working models, the need for effective and reliable communication technology has never been greater.
A common sight in offices and homes across the world, Logitech is ideally placed to monitor trends in what workers at every level require - and at its recent Logi Work 2026 event, it took the opportunity to show off how its latest suite of releases can revolutionize the collaboration experience for all.
To find out more, I spoke to Henry Levak, VP and general manager, Logitech, to see what it sees as the future of meeting rooms, offices, and even the humble home working desk.
Broad portfolio paying off “We want people to think of us as that simple and flexible partner - the word 'proprietary' and being locked in is luckily something we're moving away from,” Levak tells me.
“The reality is that you will have a world of different configurations,” he notes, highlighting how many of Logitech’s customers are asking workers to come back into the office, meaning the company needs to broaden its offerings even further.
“That's been a huge catalyst for our success,” he notes, “we have an incredibly broad portfolio that covers people working from home, to people working in the boardroom, and everything in between.” At the event, Levak had spoken about the upcoming launch of Logitech’s new portfolio, which the company had described as its biggest enterprise-focused launch in years.
The new lineup, which includes the Rally Bar 2, Rally System 2 Pro and Sound Shape technology, will revolutionize the way businesses of all sizes collaborate and communicate, with not only more powerful, but more customizable technology being the watchword.
For example, the new Rally Bar 2, the successor to the popular sound bar now seen in boardrooms and meeting spaces across the globe, not only features a Qualcomm Dragonwing chip to allow for better AI processing, but offers a 115 degree POV and much easier wall mounting due to its smaller form factor (Image credit: Logitech) The Rally System 2 Pro provides a “modular yet streamlined” offering which looks to simplify complex installs which can be difficult to maintain and manage - making larger rooms better spaces to have these vital meetings in.
In spite of its new range of releases, Logitech had spoken about its goal to “simplify everything” - so I ask Levak how the company can pursue that goal while still offering a range of products attractive to all different kinds of customers.
