Industry guidance suggests 1 enclosed acoustic space per 6–12 employees as a baseline. For a 20-person hybrid team, 2–3 pods is a reasonable starting deployment. A common configuration for a team of this size: 1–2 HIGHKA Model S or M (for individual focus and private calls) and 1 HIGHKA Model L (for 2–4 person impromptu meetings or collaborative sessions). Starting with 2–3 units and scaling based on 60-day utilisation data is the most reliable deployment approach — both HIGHKA and ROOM pods are fully repositionable as demand patterns become clear.
