The channel conversation around TX2 is really about repeatable deployment: what ships, what pairs with existing stacks, and what clients will ask for on the next refresh cycle. ## The Release in Context “Our collaboration with Ashton Bentley enables enterprises to manage upgrades to their collaboration investments in a scalable way.” said Tom Richards, senior director of strategy & GTM at Cisco. ABMX systems are based on Ashton Bentley’s Cisco Certified Display Mount Chassis platform available in single and dual display configurations supporting displays from 43 to 115 inches. Leadership commentary underscores the positioning: "Our collaboration with Ashton Bentley enables enterprises to manage upgrades to their collaboration investments in a scalable way." Ashton Bentley positions the update for integrators balancing performance, serviceability, and client-facing reliability. ## System Design Impact Ashton Bentley positions the update for integrators balancing performance, serviceability, and client-facing reliability. Leadership commentary underscores the positioning: "Our collaboration with Ashton Bentley enables enterprises to manage upgrades to their collaboration investments in a scalable way." “Together with Cisco, we’re redefining how organisations approach collaboration upgrades,” said Tony Leedham, chief commercial officer at Ashton Bentley. This is built to allow deployment in glass walled offices, listed buildings and other environments where wall loading is restricted. Leadership commentary underscores the positioning: "We are extending that collaboration further by delivering a globally consistent platform that removes much of the traditional complexity of AV upgrades." ## Sales and Support Notes “Our collaboration with Ashton Bentley enables enterprises to manage upgrades to their collaboration investments in a scalable way.” said Tom Richards, senior director of strategy & GTM at Cisco. Leadership commentary underscores the positioning: "Our collaboration with Ashton Bentley enables enterprises to manage upgrades to their collaboration investments in a scalable way." Vendor documentation notes the new range is designed to provide a structured upgrade path for organizations moving from legacy Cisco MX Series deployments to collaboration spaces built around Cisco Room Bar and Cisco Room Kits. For the channel, the measurable win is repeatability: standardized documentation, realistic lead times, and acceptance tests tied to TX2. That is how Ashton Bentley moves from announcement to installed base. Agency and enterprise accounts will ask for measurement language—latency, brightness, coverage, or SPL—anchored to 4K rather than marketing adjectives. Client training should reference real room modes—not demo reels—so end users understand how DX2 shows up in daily workflows. Acceptance testing templates should include objective pass/fail rows referencing Cisco Certified Display Mount, not subjective 'looks fine' sign-offs. Agency and enterprise accounts will ask for measurement language—latency, brightness, coverage, or SPL—anchored to TX2 rather than marketing adjectives. Documentation packages (CAD, elevation drawings, IP tables) age quickly—tie Ashton Bentley ABMX Display Mount Range in Collaboration with Cisco to a revision-controlled handoff for facilities teams. Acceptance testing templates should include objective pass/fail rows referencing Display Mount, not subjective 'looks fine' sign-offs. Client training should reference real room modes—not demo reels—so end users understand how Cisco Certified Display Mount shows up in daily workflows. Bid teams should map 115 inches against existing control, DSP, and network standards before promising a like-for-like swap on aggressive timelines. When stacking this alongside UC platforms, document VLAN, QoS, and security assumptions early; DX2 rarely fails in isolation. Preset and template hygiene becomes a differentiator when 115 inches; integrators who standardize naming and asset libraries cut rework on multi-site rollouts.
