Lenovo announced Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500, a Skype Room Systems device, at the Microsoft Ignite conference.
Lenovo said ThinkSmart Hub 500 device — developed in cooperation with Microsoft — is designed to handle conference room complexities — enabling companies to opt for the digital transformation of modern workspaces.
“One obvious need for change is in how meetings are conducted, including the ongoing issue of the wrong technology to get meetings started quickly. This wasted time can cost businesses millions in lost productivity,” said Christian Teismann, senior vice president and general manager, Commercial Business Segment, Lenovo PCSD.
Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500 manages collaboration within modern meeting rooms with the ability to connect remote and local participants to Skype for Business meetings and shared content. The latest mobility device from Lenovo eliminates the hassle of sharing personal laptop screens and messing about with cables.
Smart Hub 500 has a 360-degree rotatable 11.6-inch display and runs Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise.
