Mersive Polaris turns any display into a shared workspace. Laptops share from a browser tab, phones from the Mersive app or native protocol. Side by side, several at once, across any network.

Polaris enables every display with wireless screen sharing, hybrid meetings and digital signage. Polaris Cloud is the single pane that deploys, monitors and updates all three: every room, every site, one login.
A Polaris room runs the meeting platform chosen for that meeting, not one fixed to the room.
Polaris rooms run the vendors’ own native clients, so the chat, the layouts and Copilot are the ones Microsoft and Zoom shipped, not a re-rendering of them inside another vendor’s workspace. Which platform a room runs is chosen per meeting rather than fixed at install: move from Teams to Zoom between one meeting and the next, with no reboot and no swap. And with Polaris Host, BY lets the room run and control the hybrid meeting itself, without requiring a user’s device. Which vendors re-render and which do not, in their own wording, on the compare matrix.
Platform-agnostic hybrid →Polaris ships with secure boot on a TAA-compliant supply chain.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, with no nonconformities at the June 2026 surveillance audit. SOC 2 Type 2 attested for the Polaris cloud, and the room device assessed by a third party. The July 2026 application assessment returned no critical and no high-severity findings. 802.1x/EAP-TLS on the wire, all of it written down where your security team can read it.
The trust center →Polaris Cloud carries analytics, activation and fleet management for the whole fleet.
Mersive Solstice Cloud keeps managing your Gen 3 fleet, linked straight from Polaris Cloud: one starting point while you migrate.
Explore the cloud →The Polaris workspace holds every share side by side, controlled from any seat.
A true composited workspace: compared, annotated, rearranged live. A panel composites on its own glass. Polaris composites and then encodes the whole workspace back out, both to remote participants who never joined a call and to a browser on any device. That is meeting parity: everyone in the room and everyone remote is looking at the same content at the same time, with no second-class view. That is the line the panel vendors have not crossed.
Why the workspace wins →Polaris shares from the browser: no client, no admin rights, no dongles.
Guests share in seconds on whatever they walked in with, Chromebooks included.
How web-join works →Polaris shares across VLANs, subnets, buildings and the internet without a VPN.
Mersive does the signaling only: the cloud introduces the two ends, then steps out of the way and the media flows peer-to-peer over a direct, encrypted WebRTC connection. Your content never crosses our cloud. Signaling is outbound-only TLS on port 443, so guests, other VLANs and remote devices reach the room with no VPN and nothing inbound to open.
See the architecture →The room is the same platform everywhere. What changes is who signs off on it: procurement, a semester timetable, or an auditor.
Fleets measured in hundreds of rooms, standardized and rolled out once. One cloud pane for all of them, whatever the building.
Lecture halls, flat classrooms and shared teaching space, where a guest lecturer’s laptop has to work in the first minute of the hour.
Where the architecture has to be written down before the room is approved: boot chain, network posture, data paths, update policy.
01Problem
A dongle is a separate hardware purchase, per seat, and when one goes missing another unit has to be bought. It is also one more piece of inventory to stock, maintain and keep connected to your network.
01Answer
Polaris shares from the browser, on the device the person already carries. Nothing to buy per seat, nothing to lose, nothing to keep in a drawer.
Every room on one cloud pane: deploy, monitor, and update the whole fleet from your desk. Fewer tickets, fewer truck rolls, a smaller support burden.
Polaris vs Barco ClickShare →02Problem
Sharing usually means getting the visitor onto the corporate network first: an app to install, an account to create, or a firewall exception to file with IT. The deck stays on their laptop while the room waits.
02Answer
A guest shares from the browser without joining the corporate network: no app, no account, and no firewall exception to file.
Walk in, open a browser, share. No app, no download, no training, guests included.
How guest sharing works →03Problem
A certified room system hosts one platform’s meetings by design, with one vendor bolted to the room, a commitment to that ecosystem for the life of the hardware.
03Answer
Polaris is agnostic about which meeting system users want to deploy and switches from one to another in seconds. No reboot, no swap. Link ships on Polaris Pro only, while Polaris Host can be added to any Polaris Pro or Essentials room.
One cable to the display, PoE+ power on Pro (Essentials uses the 12V adapter), cloud activation: racked to running fast, quotable from an open spec sheet.
Polaris + Teams Rooms →Hardware based products don't age out; they stop improving. A Polaris subscription keeps advancing: updates, security and new capabilities, with warranty for as long as you subscribe. No forklift upgrades, no care contracts.
If a subscription lapses, the room doesn't brick: local wireless sharing keeps working.
Polaris is one platform, offered in three chassis. All three run the same software and open the same Mersive workspace. What grows with the hardware is I/O, how many sources can share at once and what the room can drive.

Polaris begins where native screen mirroring ends. AirPlay, Miracast and Google Cast each hand the display to one device at a time. Polaris puts the Mersive Workspace behind them: a shared canvas where several sources sit side by side at once, arriving by native cast or straight from a browser. The workspace is not bound to the LAN. A guest sitting in the room, a colleague on another VLAN and someone on the other side of the world all reach the same room over the internet, with no VPN to stand up, no network to join and nothing inbound to open.
The workspace isn’t only on the wall. app.mersive.com renders the same workspace for every seat, in the room or remote, so the people who aren’t standing in front of the glass aren’t watching a lesser view of it. And every display runs from one cloud, whether that is a single room or a fleet of thousands. Three layers make it work:
Any display you already own becomes a Polaris endpoint: a meeting room display, a classroom screen, a lobby wall.
Every share lands side by side on the display, from a laptop, a phone, or a browser with nothing installed, and from any network, not just the room’s.
The broker and the fleet console: it introduces every session, runs every room, and stays out of the media path.
Scroll it: the same three steps every share takes, whether the person is in the room or on the other side of the world.
Most rooms manage BYOD and stop there: your laptop hosts, and the room is a screen. Going further usually means giving something up: a room locked to one meeting platform, or a bridge that costs you the native client, so chat, recording and Copilot are no longer the ones Teams or Zoom shipped. Polaris hybrid meeting technology provides a platform agnostic solution while retaining the native client functionality.
At Mersive, we see three models of hybrid meeting equipped rooms. BYOD displays the meeting on the room display but lacks integration to the peripherals. BYOM adds room peripherals to the meeting, enabling the meeting to wirelessly use devices such as camera bars. BYOM solutions can also host the meeting on either the user’s laptop or on the room device. Polaris Link is Mersive’s BYOM solution and included in Polaris Pro. Our Link solution moves the meeting onto the Polaris Pro, thereby reducing laptop power draw and compute needs.
At Mersive we see a third model of hybrid meeting rooms, a fully equipped room system which we call “BY” for bring yourself. These rooms can have a user hold a hybrid meeting without their own device. Polaris Host is Mersive’s “BY” solution and it is sold as an add-on to either Polaris Pro or Polaris Essentials. With Polaris Host, the room hosts and is controlled from the device, so nobody has to bring a machine at all.
Neither Polaris Link nor Polaris Host locks the room down to one VTC platform. The platform is chosen per meeting, every client is the vendor’s own, and changing from one to another takes seconds and no reboot.
Polaris Cloud carries analytics, activation and conference room management for the whole fleet. One login deploys, monitors and updates every room on every site: templates by room type, staged firmware, health alerts.
Polaris Cloud panel: the home dashboard. Solstice Cloud panel: the Deployment view. Both are product screenshots with sample data.
Conference room management stops being a building-by-building job. One login deploys, monitors and updates the whole fleet from your desk: templates by room type, so a huddle room and a lecture hall each land configured the way that kind of room should be, firmware staged over a weekend instead of pushed on a Tuesday morning, and health alerts that reach you before the first meeting of the day finds the dead display. Fewer tickets, fewer truck rolls, and a support burden that stops growing every time somebody adds a room.
None of it waits for a migration to finish. Mersive Solstice Cloud goes on running your Gen 3 fleet exactly as it does today and is linked straight from Polaris Cloud, so the two sit side by side and rooms move across when the budget says so rather than when the software insists. One starting point, one login, and no weekend where half the buildings are unmanaged.
Corporate digital signage is usually a second system: another platform, another license, another vendor to call when the lobby screen goes dark. Here it is the platform the meeting rooms already run. The same Polaris Cloud login runs both.
The meeting display you already own, before and after the meeting ends. Same pod, same login.
A dedicated screen in a lobby, a hallway or a cafeteria is a deployment like any other. The difference is what happens to the displays you already bought: a meeting display becomes a signage screen the moment nobody is sharing, which across a working week is most of the time it is switched on. Rooms that used to sit dark between bookings publish instead.
Content is dynamic and event-driven, and it is cached on the device, so a screen keeps publishing through a network outage rather than going to a blue holding slide in front of everybody in the lobby. Every panel is addressed from the same Polaris Cloud login as every room, so there is no second CMS to learn and no separate fleet to keep track of. Signage is included rather than licensed on its own: no second network of players, no second license, no second vendor.
Five ways to feed it, one cloud to publish it, any chassis to run it. A meeting display becomes a signage screen the moment nobody is sharing.
Proof in the field: one hospitality customer's headquarters deployment took 350 units, most of them driving signage.
