Cisco Board Pro 55 G2 CS-BRDP55-K9++ – TAA Compliant Meeting Board

Product Overview

Federal buyers cannot substitute a standard part number and sort the paperwork later. CS-BRDP55-K9++ is the TAA-compliant ordering variant of the Cisco Board Pro 55 G2, and the double-plus suffix is what makes it eligible where TAA procurement rules apply.

Cisco lists this SKU in its published Board Pro 55 G2 main-unit ordering table alongside the standard K9, no-radio and no-radar variants, so it is a documented factory build rather than a channel reconfiguration.

Everything a federal conference room needs sits inside one device: a 55-inch 4K UHD multi-touch panel, a dual 4K camera system with two 48 MP image sensors, a 14-element beamforming microphone array and an integrated multi-channel loudspeaker system.

It is the practical choice for agency offices, GSA-scheduled programmes and government contractors who need a compliant all-in-one endpoint without assembling a display, camera, DSP and codec from separate vendors.

Product Description

Getting the part number right at requisition stage is the whole point. A TAA-constrained programme that orders CS-BRDP55-K9 rather than CS-BRDP55-K9++ has a compliance problem discovered at receiving, and the equipment goes back. Quote and order the ++ variant from the start, and record it that way in the bill of materials.

Beyond the compliance line, this is a full-capability G2 board. Two 48 MP image sensors feed a 70-degree main lens and a 112-degree wide lens, with automatic best view, speaker tracking, Frames multi-participant framing, meeting zone support and 5x digital zoom running on the device. No external camera-tracking processor is required in the rack.

Room audio is handled by the 14-element beamforming array, which Cisco states is optimised to 4 metres (13 ft) from the device. Where an agency room is deeper than that, the Ethernet audio-over-IP port and two analog microphone inputs extend pickup rather than forcing a redesign.

For government networks, the registration story matters more than the cloud story. Cisco documents native on-premises registration to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, or Cisco Expressway, alongside Webex activation, third-party H.323 gatekeepers and standards-based SIP proxies. Network security includes 802.1X with passphrase or X.509 client certificate, 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS/CoS and SRTP using AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM.

Installation planning uses published figures: a board-only weight of 40 kg, a wall mount kit included by default, and wall stand, floor stand and wheel upgrade kit options with weights Cisco publishes for each. The 802.3af PoE port with a 15.4 W budget powers a Cisco Room Navigator without a separate injector.

Agencies specifying multiple room sizes can review the rest of the compliant Cisco range in our Cisco catalog, touch endpoints in interactive displays and complete room designs in medium room solutions.

Key Features

• TAA-compliant ordering variant — The ++ suffix identifies the SKU offered for US federal and other TAA-constrained procurements, listed in Cisco's own G2 ordering table.
• Dual 48 MP camera system — Two 48 MP image sensors with a 70-degree main lens and a 112-degree wide lens cover both table framing and full room width from a single device.
• On-device framing intelligence — Automatic best view, speaker tracking, Frames multi-participant framing, meeting zone support and 5x digital zoom remove the need for a separate tracking processor.
• 14-element beamforming microphone array — Cisco states the array is optimised to 4 metres (13 ft), covering a typical agency conference room without ceiling or table microphones.
• On-premises registration for closed networks — Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, or Cisco Expressway, are documented alongside Webex cloud activation.
• Documented network authentication — 802.1X using a passphrase or an X.509 client certificate, with 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p QoS/CoS, matches standard government network requirements.
• Single-cable BYOD — USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode at 4Kp60 with up to 60 W power delivery lets a visiting laptop drive the screen, camera and audio.

Typical Applications

• Government space — Agency offices under TAA procurement rules can order a compliant part number without redesigning the room.
• Conference room — Cisco positions the Board Pro for small and medium-sized conference rooms, which matches the 4-metre microphone coverage.
• Training room — Cisco's Board Pro datasheet names training rooms as an intended environment for this platform.
• Commercial meeting space — Government contractors running mixed commercial and federal work standardise on one compliant build.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the ++ suffix mean on a Cisco part number?

It identifies the TAA-compliant variant, offered for US federal and other TAA-constrained procurements. Cisco lists CS-BRDP55-K9++ in its published Board Pro 55 G2 main-unit ordering table.

Is the hardware different from the standard K9?

The TAA variant is a distinct ordering SKU. The published Board Pro 55 G2 platform specifications shown on this page apply to it.

Can it be registered without a cloud connection?

Yes. Cisco documents native on-premises registration to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, or Cisco Expressway.

Does it support Microsoft Teams Rooms?

Cisco documents Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android for this platform, plus interop with Microsoft Teams through CVI or WebRTC, Google Meet through WebRTC and Zoom over SIP using the Zoom Conference Room Connector.

What does the room need for power and network?

Mains power at 3.0-1.5 A, 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, Class I, plus a 10/100/1000 Ethernet drop. The board's own 802.3af PoE port with a 15.4 W budget feeds a Cisco Room Navigator.

What is the minimum software release?

RoomOS 11.15 or later for the Board Pro 55 G2.

Is a no-radio TAA version available?

Yes. Cisco lists CS-BRDP55-NR-K9++ as the no-radio TAA variant in the same G2 ordering table.

What warranty applies?

Cisco publishes a 90-day limited liability warranty for this product class. Warranty is handled per Cisco's standard terms; contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage for your order.
