What’s New
5.5.2 Release Updates | Enhanced Collaboration & Communication
January 2023
- Upgraded Digital Signage. We made improvements to one of our most popular features, digital signage. In 5.5.2, we doubled the caching to allow for richer content, smoother video playback, and better stability when faced with intermittent internet connections.
- Fully Customisable Welcome Screen. The Solstice welcome screen has been upgraded to allow admins to fully customise the experience for all rooms and users. Admins now have complete control of the text, images, and videos displayed and can access usage data through our back-end API. Welcome screens can be fully personalised and integrated with in-room sensors to create unique and responsive experiences when users walk up to a Solstice-enabled display.
- Improved Performance and Stability. 5.5.2 continues our focus on enhancing Solstice’s overall performance for a broader range of networks, devices, and room types. We revamped many back-end processes to free up CPU and memory usage so the meeting host’s laptop can do more while using Solstice.
- Deeper Peripheral Integrations. Solstice is easier than ever to integrate within your existing infrastructure with deeper integrations with key Mersive peripheral partners, including QSC and Poly.

Solstice 5.5 delivers the next evolution of BYOM for the return to office era
With version 5.5, Solstice seamlessly integrates with any Teams, Zoom, or Webex Room to provide a true Bring Your Own Meeting experience. Solstice 5.5 also gives users the flexibility to use their dedicated room setup as a traditional room with agnostic conferencing support.
Solstice 5.4 Adds Automatic Disconnect Based on Proximity
Solstice version 5.4 improves ease of use and content sharing security by automatically disconnecting users when Solstice detects they are no longer in the room. Designed as one of Solstice’s intelligent room features, this capability increases the efficiency of meeting transitions and ensures shared content isn’t unintentionally viewed by others after the meeting ends.Release Notes
