    Logitech Launches New Wireless Technology Logi Bot

    The industry-leading provider of consumer electronics announces the expansion of its business, providing work setup solutions. Logitech introduces the Logi Bot, a new high-performance secure wireless technology designed to enhance productivity. The Logi Bot conquers IT challenges that can emerge whether users are at the office or working remotely.  

    Joseph Mingori, GM of B2B for Creativity and Productivity at Logitech, said for decades individuals trusted Logitech and now they are ready to expand their expertise in an evolving landscape. “We have redefined our enterprise offering to support individual work setup solutions on a global scale while launching our new, wireless technology solution – Logi Bolt – enabling secure and robust connections to meet today’s evolving business needs. These offerings prioritize the needs of enterprise IT to keep their diverse workforces productive, collaborative, and secure no matter where they work,” Mingori said.

    Secure with Robust Connectivity

    Logitech engineered the Logi Bot to deliver a secure level of wireless connectivity for all Logitech items. Logi Bot also offers a robust signal reaching connection up to 33 feet. The drop-off-free connection is reliable even in heavy congested wireless environments with up to eight times lower average latency in many cases than other common wireless protocols.

    Great Compatibility

    The Logi Bot offers great compatibility, offering a universal connection over other peripheral brands on the market. The reliable connection allows IT managers to efficiently source, purchase and distribute without connectivity issues. The device works with almost every operating system including Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS. Users will be able to connect via Logi Bot USB receivers or using Bluetooth Low Energy wireless technology installed on host computers. 

    Pasi Pajumäki, IT Specialist at Wolt Enterprises, says Logi Bot brings reliability and stability for their wireless devices. “Logi Bolt wireless technology seems to establish a connection faster, so switching between a desk and a conference room is smoother and more user friendly,” Pajumäki said.

  • Atlona Launches AT-WAVE-101 Wireless Presentation Platform

    Atlona Launches AT-WAVE-101 Wireless Presentation Platform

    SAN JOSE, Calif. – Atlona, a Panduit company, is continuing to innovate at the forefront of the ongoing BYOD AV movement with the unveiling of the AT-WAVE-101 wireless presentation and collaboration platform. Designed for easy content sharing from iOS®, Android™, Mac®, Chromebook™, and Windows® devices, the WAVE-101 is available immediately and lets up to four presenters display their content on screen simultaneously in dynamically adapting layouts.

    “The built-in wireless BYOD capabilities of our AT-UHD-SW-510W and AT-OME-MS52W switchers have been very popular with our customers, but we have also seen growing demand for a standalone wireless device for use on its own or as part of a larger AV system,” said David Shamir, Vice President of Product Management, Atlona. “The WAVE-101 leverages our extensive BYOD experience and customer feedback to meet this need, together with several unique, powerful features at very competitive pricing.”

    The WAVE-101 directly supports all popular, device-native, wireless casting protocols including AirPlay®, Google Cast™, and Miracast™. This enables exceptional convenience for ad hoc presentations with no prior setup required, while content encryption and randomly-generated PIN codes – displayed on the WAVE-101 welcome screen – ensure secure wireless sharing. Offering effortless, touch-free operation, the WAVE-101 features a patent-pending, Dynamic Layout Mode that automatically adapts the on-screen layout for up to four participants when a new content source is added; a presenter disconnects from the system; or a connected mobile device is rotated between portrait and landscape orientation.

    Designed for use in classrooms, meeting spaces, and other collaboration environments, the WAVE-101 is equally adept on its own or as part of an integrated AV solution. The compact device can be installed discreetly near a display for easy, ad hoc content sharing or used in conjunction with a switcher to enhance a new or existing AV system with wireless, multi-participant BYOD connectivity.

    While ideal for a wide range of presentation and collaboration purposes, the WAVE-101 offers value-added features designed specifically to enhance learning experiences in educational environments. Instructor Mode, accessible through the WAVE-101’s intuitive web interface, enables easy management and moderation of multiple active and queued student presenters. Additionally, sessions can be streamed live over YouTube™ for remote learning, while integrated playback of locally stored images, media files (up to 4K at 60 fps), and YouTube source content enables easy incorporation of supplemental lesson materials.

    The WAVE-101 features a configurable firewall and supports industry-standard network security features and protocols including WPA2-PSK and AES-128 encryption. The device’s integrated Wi-Fi access point can also be firewalled from the customer facility’s LAN if desired for security purposes. Multiple WAVE-101 devices can be remotely configured, monitored, and managed over the network through the free Atlona Management System (AMS) software, part of the company’s Velocity™ System AV control and management platform. Additional integration convenience features include programmable IP display control and support for URL-based digital signage platforms as input sources.

  • Videe SpA taps Riedel to outfit 4K HDR OB Van

    The van is a triple-expanding mobile production unit that can support up to 30 cameras

    Riedel’s Artist-1024 digital matrix intercom system and Bolero wireless intercom system are supporting state-of-the-art communications capabilities within Videe SpA’s innovative new 4K HDR OB van, OBX VIDEE. The Riedel systems provide the power, density, and flexibility critical for pioneering remote production operations.

    “Videe SpA is well known for its ability to leverage cutting-edge technologies to achieve the performance and functionality essential to demanding remote productions,” said Giuseppe Angilello, Italy Sales Manager, Riedel Communications. “With Artist and Bolero, we’ve delivered on both counts to bring clear, flexible, and reliable communications to Videe’s new OB van. As a true, native 4K unit, OBX VIDEE has the power and sophistication to support the most challenging projects — and the ease of use, compact size, and straightforward configuration of our intercom systems make them an ideal fit.”

    OBX VIDEE is a triple-expanding mobile production unit that can support up to 30 cameras. Based on client requirements, the van can be configured with dual control rooms or as one large, 75-square-meter production area that can accommodate up to 36 onboard team members. The OB van was engineered for the future by Videe and systems integrator Chromaline, with a design that meets each and every production demand with the best, most intuitive, and most efficient technical solution. As a top-end OB production system, OBX is ideal to provide host broadcasting services for major live sporting, music, cultural, and entertainment events worldwide. Integrating smoothly into the van’s IP infrastructure, the Artist and Bolero systems along with 36 RSP-2318 SmartPanels, on board OBX VIDEE play a critical role by enabling clear communications tailored to the requirements of each production.

    “The Riedel name is synonymous with reliability, efficiency, versatility, and usability in the intercom domain, and the company is a longtime Videe partner,” said Bruno Mercuri, Videe SpA President and Founder. “We choose and rely on Riedel because of the company’s innovative approach and its constant commitment to developing the best technologies for broadcast requirements. That´s what Videe expects from its providers because that’s what Videe is expected to provide to its own clients.” 

    Paola Montanari, CEO at Videe, added, “OBX introduces a new era in the broadcast industry and a truly innovative production approach that combines high performance, premium comfort, and full reliability. Uncompromisingly. We love challenges, and we enjoy riding the wave of innovation. Riedel’s philosophy and its products align very well with our own priorities and values.”
