Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Lenovo™ has announced the all-new ThinkSmart™ View Plus running Microsoft Teams display. It is a standalone collaboration display with premium audio, video and whiteboarding features. The smart collaboration solution is purpose-built for hot desking, phone booths, executive desks and home office use cases. Also joining the portfolio of smart collaboration solutions are the newly announced Lenovo IP Controller for collaboration spaces and the newly available ThinkSmart One.

As the way people work continues to evolve, it is vital to stay connected and engaged. The innovative ThinkSmart View Plus running Microsoft Teams display is a solution that enables hybrid work by increasing productivity flexibility and collaboration through its personal and hot desking experiences.

ThinkSmart View Plus

ThinkSmart View Plus is an integrated device with a 27-inch multi-touch display, premium video and audio and built-in computing for powerful productivity and collaboration.

Designed to enhance personal productivity, ThinkSmart View Plus offers a customised, secure and flexible Microsoft Teams display experience. It provides access to Teams chat, calendar and files, while also enabling workers to join meetings through the device. When connected to a user’s PC, the ThinkSmart View Plus enables screen sharing between the two devices to simultaneously view content and presenters. Additionally, ThinkSmart View Plus easily shifts to monitor mode when connected to a PC through USB-C.

ThinkSmart View Plus running Teams display also offers hot-desking capabilities. These are hybrid work solutions that allow employees to quickly locate flexible workspaces to touch down and make calls, set up ad-hoc meetings or sign into their personal Teams experience. Once signed in, employees can enjoy smooth transitions from their home office to work office without a complicated set-up. Upon sign out, the user’s personal information is removed from the device—minimising security risks.

ThinkSmart View Plus lets team members interact with impact. Featuring a passive stylus pen and a Microsoft whiteboard application, users can explore big ideas together with the device. Users can also hear and be heard more clearly with a premium soundbar with two 5w speakers and a four-mic array, while the 4K IRGB camera with auto framing and AI security delivers crisp, clear images.

While in monitor mode, ThinkSmart View Plus allows for comfortable productivity with its ergonomic stand and convenient cell phone stand on the base. The device is also VESA mountable to walls.

Under the Hood of the ThinkSmart View Plus

The ThinkSmart View Plus utilizes the Qualcomm® QCS8250 System-on-Chip (SoC), a purpose-built chip for enterprise and commercial IoT applications from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. The premium-tier processor is designed to provide maximum performance for compute-intensive camera and Edge AI applications, and also features support of Wi-Fi 6.

“Lenovo’s customers are looking for smart, flexible solutions to empower team members so they can collaborate better in a range of workplace scenarios,” said Shannon MacKay, General Manager of Worldwide Smart Collaboration Business, at Lenovo. “The ThinkSmart View Plus is designed with the functionality to help increase productivity, innovation, and employee satisfaction.”

Round-the-Clock Assistance

As with all Lenovo ThinkSmart meeting room products, the ThinkSmart View Plus comes standard with three years of Lenovo’s Premier Support. This provides access to advanced technicians 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It also includes one year of Lenovo’s value-added software and services:

• ThinkSmart Professional Services. Deployment will help IT departments set up, configure and integrate each solution into existing unified communications platforms.
• ThinkSmart Professional Services. Maintenance will provide remote troubleshooting and technical support of ThinkSmart devices by Lenovo professional service technicians.
• ThinkSmart Manager. This is Lenovo’s collaboration management software suite. Maintaining effective collaboration means the technology needs to be always on, always connected and easy to use. ThinkSmart Manager helps IT departments to configure, control and manage an entire fleet of Smart Collaboration solutions from a single intuitive interface.

More Smart Collaboration Solutions

The Lenovo portfolio of smart collaboration solutions continues to expand with more options to enhance connectivity between team members in the enterprise.

Lenovo is offering a new controller option for ThinkSmart Core and ThinkSmart One to empower collaboration spaces. Sleek and sophisticated with a high-end, low-profile design, the new Lenovo IP Controller is an AV over-IP display with HDMI pass-through that features easy-to-use Ethernet connectivity (CAT5e) with PoE.

Easier to install and use, the new controller allows for installation up to 100 metres from the PC without the hassles of extenders, complicated installation and nearby power requirements. The new Lenovo IP Controller addresses the growing demand for HDMI on the table, as well as IP Connectivity with PoE compatibility.

Availability

The ThinkSmart View Plus and the bundle packages of ThinkSmart One and IP Controller will be available in Hong Kong in May 2023. The IP Controller Standalone will be available in Hong Kong later this year.
