What's new with the Webex Board 70S

[chriswarren]

Cisco has recently released a new version of the Webex Board denotated with the "S". The documentation I have found only states 'minor hardware optimisations'. Can anyone tell me what the exact differences are so that I can make an informed purchasing decision. (The 70S is more expensive)

From what I can recall, the new "S" version has a different (more powerful) processor, and also will allow you to run the newer RoomOS rather than the old BoardOS giving you a better upgrade path / "future proofing".

All newer boards being made are the "S" version, so, the reason the non-S may be cheaper for you is it is likely to be old stock.

12 May 2019 is the last ship date for the old hardware version - see Cisco announces a change in product part numbers for the Cisco Spark/Webex Board 70
