A bit in the office, a bit at home - that s how we ll work now. ThinkSmart Hub 500 will help companies stay in touch
Coronavirus closed corporate offices and moved employees to the Home Office. And although we are slowly starting to return to normalcy, probably no one doubts that office work will change forever.
The remote work boom did not come as soon as analysts announced a decade ago. By 2020, half of us were to work remotely full-time, meanwhile in Poland, according to OwlLabs data for 2019 , full-time remotely worked only 18 percent. respondents.
And then the Pandemic came and changed everything . Suddenly statistics accelerated in an unpredictable way. And just like last year it was expected that only in 2028 73 percent. of us will go to the Home Office, so thanks to coronavirus it has happened now.
Of course, as the number of infections decreases, employees will return to the offices. The forced Home Office quickly verified who works better from home and who feels better on his square meter in the office building. Who prefers to receive an email and who will attend a meeting in the conference room.
This "verification" meant that office work will never be the same. Some employees have found that they work much better remotely. Employers have found that you can do business just as effectively when not all employees are sitting from 9 to 17 in the office.
A completely new hybrid work model will appear. Where some employees will come to the office regularly, and some will only appear in it from time to time or will go 100%. for remote work. Permanently.
How to reconcile these two worlds when "home" and "office" teams will have to work together?
ThinkSmart Hub 500 is the answer to this question.
Until now conferences taking place simultaneously in the building and broadcast outside were common only in those companies that had international or intercity bands. Now even local businesses will need solutions that will allow people who are physically in the building and those who work from home to meet at the same table.
ThinkSmart Hub 500 allows you to conduct such a meeting without any problems.
This small device representing the Smart Office product group, with a 11.6 "screen and Full HD resolution, is a comprehensive solution for a conference room. The device is equipped with two 4W speakers, two microphones and Dolby Audio system. It takes up little space (278 x 193 x 176 mm), so it can even stand in the center of the table in the conference room, and thanks to its low weight (2.5 kg) it is very easy to move it from room to room. The matte coating of the touch screen rotates 360 degrees so that each participant of the conversation can conveniently rotate the display in their own direction.
For larger conference rooms, you can expand the ThinkSmart Hub 500 with additional accessories to conveniently use it.
The heart of the device is the 7th Generation Intel Core i5-7500T processor with vPro ™, which is more than enough to make the whole solution work quickly and efficiently, while providing trouble-free remote management. For this we have SSD 128 GB, Wi-Fi AC 2x2 and Bluetooth 4.2.
The ThinkSmart Huba 500 can also be connected to an external display via two HDMI ports. The device also has an HDMI input with a built-in image recording card, RJ-45 port, four USB 3.0 connectors and a 3.5 mm jack output.
Properly selected software cooperates with hardware. Pre-installed on the device is Windows 10 IoT Entrerprise and applications for which ThinkSmart Hub 500 (depending on the version) is certified: Microsoft Skype Room System, Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms.
The device and software are also secured by leading ThinkShield solutions that guarantee secure transmission. Lenovo ensures data security at every stage - from a secure supply chain to software and hardware security. These safeguards include, for example, blocking a direct wired and wireless connection to prevent remote intrusion. The data is encrypted using BitLocker, and a number of software solutions ensure that in the event of a system or BIOS failure you can safely restore (or erase it completely).
The solution for the hybrid work model.
ThinkSmart Hub 500 is a small solution that allows you to instantly adapt the conference room to hold not only local meetings, but also meetings with colleagues located anywhere in the world.
When companies start again in full swing, such a solution in many places will no longer be just something "useful". Hybrid work will make such a gadget simply necessary in the world.
Soon another device from the Smart Office line - ThinkSmart View - will reach Poland.
This small tablet can also be a great complement to the work of a hybrid team that will allow you to stay in touch both in the office and outside. The device will hit the Polish market in the third quarter of 2020.
