Exertis has extended its Lenovo product range to include the ThinkSmart Hub products. Resellers will be offered the Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500 and the ThinkSmart Hub 700 through the Pro AV Solutions division. The Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500 is a purpose-built Skype-based system device that lets users easily conduct Skype meetings and share content with local and remote participants. While the ThinkSmart Hub 700 supports multiple platforms such as Zoom, as a speakerphone, it can easily be upgraded to a full video conferencing system.
Greg Bennett, head of Exertis Pro AV Solutions, said: “The ThinkSmart Hub range is designed to enable more efficient meetings using a collaborative experience to create a more engaged workforce. The products are designed for small- to medium-sized meeting rooms and huddle spaces, to enable better productivity through their innovative features, simple deployment and ease of use.”
The ThinkSmart Hub 500 is an all-in-one unit with an 11.6in anti-glare and smudge resistant touch panel, mounted on a fully rotatable 360-degree stand. It also benefits from two integrated microphones and speakers with Dolby Audio Premium sound. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise software provides intelligent enterprise-grade protection and the built-in Skype Room Systems app has a universal lockdown feature. Two HDMI ports can drive external displays to show video and content from remote participants.
The ThinkSmart Hub 700 is a collaboration solution that enables local and remote users to easily connect from any device. The system is compatible with platforms that include Skype for Business and Zoom, and can easily be upgraded to a full video conferencing system. Multiple users can share content simultaneously, either wirelessly or through either of the two HDMI ports. It has a management console which can be used to schedule and monitor meeting room usage, and built-in sensors detect in-room participants to help quickly pair devices. Dolby Audio provides clarity with four premium speakers together with four noise-cancelling microphones designed for omnidirectional usage.
Jane Ashworth, Lenovo SMB channel director, UK & Ireland, said: “The opportunity to distribute the Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub range through Exertis' dedicated Pro AV Solutions division is a great fit for these products. Our portfolio provides resellers with a choice of collaboration solutions that can transform inefficient meeting room spaces of all sizes into productive working environments, which helps to drive better employee engagement.”
The Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500 is available now. The ThinkSmart Hub 700 will be available from April.
Exertis recently added the ClearOne Pro audio, video and streaming range to its Exertis Pro AV Solutions portfolio. ClearOne’s Pro audio and microphone range provides sophisticated and feature-rich systems offering audio processing and sound reinforcement performance.
