Ubiquiti just announced something we’ve been waiting for: a WiFi 7 mesh client that actually delivers on WiFi 7’s promises. And it changes the game for Houston businesses deploying modern wireless networks.

The WiFi 7 Promise (Finally) Meets Reality

For years, WiFi 7 access points sat idle in enterprise networks, delivering theoretical performance while client devices held back actual throughput. Why? Because most WiFi 7 clients advertise MLO (Multi-Link Operation) support but don’t actually use it. They bounce between bands instead of using them simultaneously.

Ubiquiti’s new AirWire changes that. It’s a USB-C WiFi 7 client that does what its name implies: it operates on 5 GHz and 6 GHz at the same time, aggregating spectrum rather than switching between bands. For users, that means real multi-gigabit speeds, ultra-low latency, and rock-solid reliability.

What AirWire Does Differently

True simultaneous operation: Unlike other WiFi 7 clients, AirWire doesn’t alternate between bands. It uses STR MLO (Simultaneous Transmit and Receive) to operate independently on both 5 GHz and 6 GHz at once. The result? Actual spectrum aggregation instead of band switching.

Extended range: AirWire includes an advanced directional antenna system that delivers up to three times the usable range of standard client devices. That means sustained 6 GHz performance even at distances where other gear fails. Perfect for large office floors or manufacturing facilities.

Real-time spectrum intelligence: AirWire includes a dedicated scanning radio that provides continuous RF environment monitoring. For network admins, that’s gold. You get visibility into interference from a client’s perspective, not just from your AP vantage point. That means better optimization decisions and faster troubleshooting.

The Business Impact

For Houston companies in professional services, medical, oil and gas, and hospitality, better wireless means:

• Faster file transfers and backups: Real multi-gigabit throughput reduces sync times for large datasets.
• Lower latency for real-time applications: Video conferencing, VoIP, and mission-critical software run smoother with sustained, low-latency connections.
• Better roaming: Employees move through buildings without dropped calls or application freezes.
• Improved reliability: Spectrum aggregation means connection resilience under dynamic RF conditions.

Deployment is Simple

AirWire integrates seamlessly with UniFi networks through Auto-Link. Plug it in, click Adopt, and it’s secured and online. No complex provisioning. No configuration overhead. That’s how enterprise-grade wireless should work.

If your business is running 3CX for phone communications, here is news worth paying attention to: 3CX released its V20 Update 9 Alpha on March 24, 2026, and it brings a significant redesign of the web client along with AI-powered improvements and enhanced call queue features. As a Houston MSP that deploys and manages 3CX for our clients, the team at Houston TechSys has been evaluating what these changes mean for your day-to-day operations.

What Is New in 3CX V20 Update 9 Alpha

3CX CEO Nick Galea announced the update directly on the company blog. The highlights include:

• Redesigned Web Client: The 3CX web interface has been overhauled with a cleaner layout, updated team view, an improved dialer experience, and simplified navigation. If your team spends time on the web client throughout the day, they will notice a more intuitive interface that reduces clicks and speeds up common tasks.
• Enhanced Queue Features: Call queue management — critical for any Houston business that handles inbound customer calls — has been improved with better reporting and more flexible routing options. This means shorter hold times, smarter call distribution, and better visibility for supervisors.
• AI Improvements: 3CX continues building AI into its platform. The latest update expands AI-assisted transcription and conversation intelligence features, helping businesses capture what is being said on calls and surface actionable insights without manually reviewing recordings.

Why This Matters for Houston SMBs

Houston businesses — whether you are a law firm in the Galleria, a medical practice in the Medical Center, or a logistics company near the Port — rely on reliable, feature-rich phone systems to serve clients and close deals. 3CX has earned its reputation as one of the best value VoIP platforms on the market, and these updates keep it competitive with much more expensive enterprise solutions.

The AI transcription expansion is particularly relevant for businesses that need call logs for compliance purposes — think HIPAA-adjacent medical offices or financial services firms that must document client communications. Having AI do that heavy lifting automatically is a real operational win.

Should You Upgrade Now?

Update 9 is currently in Alpha, which means it is not yet recommended for production environments. Our advice: let it mature through the beta cycle before pushing it to your live phone system. Houston TechSys monitors 3CX release channels closely and will notify our managed clients when it is safe to upgrade.

If you are not yet on 3CX, or if your current phone system is aging and needs a refresh, now is a great time to evaluate what a modern VoIP deployment could do for your team. Features like a mobile app, video conferencing, live chat, WhatsApp integration, and now AI transcription come built-in — at a fraction of what legacy systems cost.

At Houston TechSys, we design, deploy, and manage 3CX systems for Houston businesses of all sizes. We handle everything from initial setup and number porting to ongoing support and upgrades.

When a software vendor wins the Forbes Diamond Award for the fifth consecutive year and lands the number one spot in G2’s Best Software Awards in the same quarter, it is worth paying attention. That is exactly where CodeTwo finds itself heading into spring 2026, and for Houston businesses that rely on Microsoft 365, the timing could not be more relevant.

What CodeTwo Actually Does

If you have ever received an email from a company where the signature looked inconsistent, the legal disclaimers were missing, or the branding was different depending on who sent the message, you have seen the problem CodeTwo solves. CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 manages email signatures, disclaimers, and footers centrally through Microsoft 365, meaning every outbound email from every employee carries the right branding, the right contact information, and the right legal language automatically.

This is not a vanity feature. For businesses in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and oil and gas, consistent email disclaimers are a compliance requirement. For any business trying to project a professional image to clients and prospects, inconsistent email signatures are a quiet credibility killer.

Why the Forbes Diamond Award Matters

The Forbes Diamond Award recognizes companies with strong three-year growth in company value, verified by Dun and Bradstreet. Winning it once is impressive. Winning it five times signals a company that is consistently executing, not just riding a wave. Combined with the G2 recognition as the top-rated email signature tool based on actual user reviews, CodeTwo has earned its reputation in the market through results rather than marketing spend.

For an MSP like Houston TechSys that recommends tools to clients, vendor stability and customer satisfaction scores matter. We do not want to build our clients’ workflows around tools that disappear or pivot in two years. CodeTwo’s track record gives us confidence.

Practical Benefits for Houston SMBs

Here is what centralized email signature management looks like in practice for a typical Houston professional services firm or medical office:

• New employees automatically get the correct signature from day one without IT involvement
• Marketing campaigns can add promotional banners to outbound email without touching individual accounts
• Legal disclaimers update across the entire organization the moment the template changes
• Executive signatures can include headshots, direct lines, and social links without manual setup
• Compliance audits are simpler because you can prove consistent disclaimer delivery

Getting Started Is Easier Than You Think

CodeTwo integrates directly with Microsoft 365 and requires no on-premises server infrastructure. For businesses already running Exchange Online or the full Microsoft 365 suite, setup is typically completed in a single session. Houston TechSys handles the deployment, template design, and ongoing management so your team does not have to learn a new admin panel.

If your business is sending emails with mismatched signatures, missing disclaimers, or outdated branding, that is a quick win waiting to happen. It is also one of the most visible ways to project professionalism to every client and prospect you communicate with daily.

Interested in getting consistent, compliant email signatures across your entire organization? Reach out to Houston TechSys and we will get you set up fast.

Conference room technology has come a long way from the days of a single webcam bolted to the top of a TV. In January 2026, Logitech announced the Rally AI Camera and Rally AI Camera Pro — two next-generation conference cameras that pack powerful artificial intelligence into a sleek, nearly invisible form factor built for large meeting spaces. At Houston TechSys, we see this as a game-changer for our Houston-area clients who are still wrestling with bulky, outdated AV setups.

What the New Logitech Rally AI Cameras Deliver

The Rally AI Camera and Rally AI Camera Pro are designed specifically for large rooms — boardrooms, training spaces, town hall rooms — where traditional cameras leave remote participants feeling like they are watching a security feed from across the building. Logitech’s new lineup changes that equation with:

• AI-powered speaker tracking — The camera automatically identifies and frames whoever is speaking, keeping remote participants engaged and in the conversation without a dedicated AV operator.
• Ultra-wide coverage — A wide field of view captures the full room, while AI processing ensures individuals are clearly framed rather than lost in a sea of empty chairs.
• Minimal footprint design — Both models are engineered to be discreet. No more bulky camera bar dominating the front of your conference room.
• Works with Microsoft Teams and Zoom — Certified integration with the platforms your Houston team already uses means no compatibility headaches.

Pricing lands at ,499 for the Rally AI Camera and ,999 for the Pro version, with availability expected spring and summer 2026 in graphite and off-white finishes.

Why Houston Businesses Should Care Right Now

Houston’s hybrid work reality is not going away. Whether your team is in the Energy Corridor, Downtown, or the Medical Center, the expectation is that remote participants get the same quality experience as those in the room. Outdated conference cameras are quietly killing productivity and making your company look unprofessional to clients and partners on the other end of a call.

We work with Houston businesses of all sizes — professional services firms, oil and gas offices, medical practices, hospitality groups — and one of the most common complaints we hear is that video conferencing gear is either too complicated, too expensive to maintain, or simply does not perform well in larger rooms. The Rally AI Camera line solves all three.

How Houston TechSys Can Help

Our team handles the full conference room AV upgrade process: room assessment, hardware procurement, structured cabling, camera and codec configuration, and integration with your existing Microsoft Teams or Zoom environment. We also tie everything into your managed IT support plan so you have one number to call if anything goes sideways before a big presentation.

If your conference room is running gear that is more than three years old, now is the right time to plan an upgrade before the Rally AI Camera Pro sells out at launch.

If your conference room still has a rats’s nest of HDMI adapters on the table and a presentation that requires plugging in a cable, you are behind the curve. At ISE 2026 — the world’s largest audio-visual and systems integration show — Airtame made a big statement about where workplace collaboration is heading, and it has serious implications for Houston businesses ready to modernize their offices.

Airtame showcased its new Airtame 3 device alongside a major platform update that extends its software to run on Windows and Android hardware — not just Airtame’s own devices. The result is what the company calls a software-defined meeting room: a flexible, centrally managed collaboration environment that does not lock you into proprietary hardware or expensive video conferencing bundles.

What Is Airtame 3?

Airtame 3 is the company’s most powerful device yet. It plugs into any display via HDMI and instantly turns that screen into a wireless presentation and conferencing hub. Employees can share their screens from a laptop, tablet, or phone without cables, without downloading apps, and without fighting with Bluetooth pairing. Airtame also introduced a new Scan to Connect feature at ISE 2026: users simply point their phone’s camera at the on-screen QR code and they are connected in seconds.

For businesses with multiple conference rooms, training spaces, or common areas, that kind of frictionless connection is not a luxury — it is a productivity multiplier. Every minute someone spends fussing with a projector or hunting for the right cable is a minute of billable time gone.

Why Software-Defined Rooms Matter for Houston SMBs

The traditional approach to outfitting a conference room meant expensive proprietary systems tied to a single vendor. Airtame’s approach flips that model. Because the software now runs on standard Windows and Android hardware, businesses can start with existing displays and upgrade at their own pace. There is no rip-and-replace, just a smarter layer of software on top of hardware you already own.

From a management standpoint, Airtame’s cloud dashboard lets IT admins — or your MSP — remotely configure, update, and monitor every screen in every office from a single console. For Houston companies with multiple locations or remote offices, that centralized control is a game-changer.

How Houston TechSys Can Help

At Houston TechSys, we handle Airtame deployments from initial assessment through installation and ongoing management. We will evaluate your conference room setup, recommend the right Airtame configuration for your space and headcount, deploy the devices, and integrate them into your existing network and security policies. We also keep firmware updated and troubleshoot issues before they become an interruption to your next big client meeting.

Whether you have one boardroom or twelve, we can make wireless collaboration simple, secure, and reliable.
