Jabra and Lenovo have teamed up to offer an end-customer solution that delivers intuitive, fast and seamless video conferencing solutions for meeting rooms at the touch of a button.
The solution includes Jabra’s innovative 180° panoramic 4K plug-and-play video solution PanaCast 50 and Lenovo’s ThinkSmart Core Kit, made up of ThinkSmart Core as well as being pre-loaded with Microsoft Teams Rooms, and the ThinkSmart Controller, which a 10.1inch, 10-point touch HD display that allows users to initiate and control meetings.
Initially available in the EMEA region, the Jabra PanaCast 50 and Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Kit bring together the best technology from two of the biggest names in the business and create a new standard in meeting room set-ups that promises superior video and audio equipment in one, easy-to-use package.
This suite of products promises to deliver a new standard in video conferencing.
The Jabra PanaCast 50 is engineered to be the world’s first new-normal-ready intelligent video bar. Its 180° field of view allows for social distancing in meeting rooms so you no longer have to worry about huddling closely in confined spaces. Also, it effectively takes on the role of the meeting ‘director’ – intelligently adjusting the video stream to follow the action in the meeting.
The ThinkSmart Core is powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core vPro processor and delivers connectivity to support any meeting room configuration. It can be placed discreetly, and it has ports to support multiple audio and visual accessories, and integrated cable management.
The ThinkSmart Controller boasts an anti-glare, anti-smudge touchscreen display. It has an easy-to-use Microsoft Teams interface and users can easily initiate and control meetings as well as share content. It even has Integrated Infrared sensors that detect when participants enter the room and automatically turns the system on and off.
The partnership was announced during a meeting between Andrea Recupero, Head of EMEA Smart Collaboration at Lenovo, and Joel Hamon, President EMEA & CALA at Jabra.
Commenting on the partnership, Hamon said: “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Lenovo and the launch of the Jabra PanaCast 50 and Lenovo ThinkSmart Core solutions is an exciting step in delivering intelligent and secure meeting room solutions.
“With hybrid working the new normal, businesses everywhere are thinking about how best to collaborate and offer the most advanced meeting room set-ups with minimal technical input required. We are confident that this solution will help businesses take their conferencing and collaboration capabilities to new heights.”
