Choosing between the Cisco Room Kit EQX and the Cisco Room Kit Pro G2? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Room Kit EQX if you want the one that is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Room Kit Pro G2 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms) and also supports Zoom.
Both are appliance+USB room kits; the difference is camera and audio.
