What is a connected booth in a professional setting?
In the office, a connected booth is a standalone acoustic pod that comes with everything needed to use it, with no complex installation. Unlike a traditional meeting room, which needs an electrician, a plasterer and an HVAC technician, a connected booth arrives ready to use.
The principle is simple: plug the pod into a standard 220V outlet, and every built-in system activates automatically. Lighting, ventilation, connectivity: everything works as soon as it's powered on, with no setup or configuration.
What's included in a Work With Island connected booth
Every pod comes fully equipped as standard:
- Automatic LED lighting with presence detection: the light turns on when you enter, off when you leave
- Silent ventilation with continuous air renewal, providing airflow from 250 m³/h (individual models) to 500 m³/h (collaborative models)
- Built-in connectivity: 1 to 5 x 220V outlets, USB-A and USB-C ports
- Certified acoustic insulation ISO 23351-1, with noise reduction from -28.7 dB to -31.1 dB depending on the model
- Glazed door that preserves the open-plan office's natural light
- Work tablet for a laptop or note-taking
No technician, no extra wiring. One outlet is all it takes.
Why choose a connected booth for your office?
A space ready to use in minutes
One of the major advantages of a connected booth is how fast it can be deployed. Our teams complete the full installation in under an hour, with no construction work and no changes to your premises. The same day, your team has a functional space for calls, focused work or small meetings.
This plug-and-play logic extends to mobility: the pods can be taken apart and can move with your company during a relocation or reorganisation, with no loss of performance.
An answer to open-plan office noise
In an open-plan office, noise sources multiply: overlapping calls, video calls, spontaneous conversations, notifications. These interruptions fragment attention and hurt productivity.
Connected booths create pockets of quiet within these environments. Certified ISO 23351-1 insulation ensures conversations stay inaudible from outside, and that ambient noise doesn't get in.
Comfort designed for extended use
The ventilation system uses fans built into foam blocks that absorb vibration, for silent operation. Warm air is expelled through the top of the pod, while fresh air flows in from the base, ensuring constant renewal with no draught.
Wi-Fi and 4G work perfectly inside: the materials used don't affect the signal. Energy consumption stays very low thanks to LED lighting and low-power ventilation.
Which connected booth model should you choose?
