Microsoft revealed through a blog post that there will be delays in the shipment of its Surface Hub, as the company looks to tune its manufacturing process as preparation for producing the Surface Hub on a wider scale.

The launch date of the Surface Hub was initially supposed to be Sept. 1. However, Microsoft's announcement means that businesses that have been waiting for the Surface Hub will need to be patient for a bit more.

The wider scale production for the Surface Hub is part of Microsoft's plan to increase the distribution of the Surface tablet computers from an initial estimate of a few hundred to a new target of a few thousand all over the world in the upcoming months.

The company said that a revised timetable for the production of the Surface Hub will be identified by the end of next month.

The Surface Hub, which was announced by Microsoft in January, features a touch-optimized screen with a size of up to 84 inches designed for workplace collaboration purposes. The displays will carry a hefty tag price of up to $19,999 each, but with Microsoft ramping up the production of the Surface Hub, it could mean that there is higher-than-expected demand from enterprises.

There are two variants for the Surface Hub, with one having a 55-inch display and the other having an 84-inch display. The 55-inch version packs an Intel Core i5 processor, while the 84-inch version is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor. The larger variant will feature the $19,999 price tag, while the smaller one will be sold for $6,999.

In the blog post, Microsoft also stated that the business channel for the sales of the Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 tablets are currently limited, and that it is seeking for more partners through which it can sell the devices.

"This expansion of our partnerships is directly related to our optimism for much broader success that will come with the release of Windows 10," wrote Microsoft

The Surface Hub is expected by Microsoft to replace the projectors and videoconferencing systems found in the conference rooms of businesses. These systems in place are not used all the time, but Microsoft's decision to increase production for the Surface Hub could mean that the company is confident that enterprises will be able to maximize the use of the Surface Hub in their businesses.
