Bose Professional has expanded the efficiency of the workplace with its latest collaboration alongside Lenovo.

Bose Work solutions such as the Videobar VB1 all-in-one USB conferencing device and the ES1 and DS4 ceiling audio solutions bring the simplicity and clarity of Bose to everyday conferencing. Now, these Bose Work products can be coupled with Lenovo ThinkSmart Core + Controller solution in Microsoft Teams Rooms — simplifying meetings with one-touch control.

Lenovo ThinkSmart Core features Lenovo’s first purpose-built, modular room kit with a new, smaller form factor and Premium ID. The ThinkSmart Core compute device is powered by an 11th Gen Intel CoreTM vPro processor and together with the ThinkSmart Controller, a 10.1” touch screen powered by USB-C, will be certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms.

For huddle spaces and small- to medium-sized conference rooms, the Lenovo ThinkSmart Core + Controller can be combined with the Videobar VB1. This combined solution ensures meeting rooms are up and running quickly with premium Bose audio and video from the Videobar VB1 and seamless, comprehensive endpoint compute and control from the Lenovo ThinkSmart Core + Controller.

For larger meeting rooms, the Lenovo ThinkSmart Core + Controller can be used with either the Bose ES1 or DS4 ceiling audio solutions. For integrated rooms, both the Bose ES1 and DS4 solutions keep microphones off the table while offering clear, intelligible audio to help meeting participants focus on what matters. When combined with the ThinkSmart Core + Controller, users will have a clean, simple one-touch interface that puts them in control.

“Bose Work solutions provide a true ease-of-conferencing experience. In-room technology needs to be transparent, intuitive and immediate,” Bose Work director and global head Martin Bodley says.

“Our collaboration with Lenovo is another way Bose is expanding to provide more flexible options to customise the conference room experience.”
