and seamless – the intuitive plug-andplay functionality means the RICOH 360 Meeting Hub is simply plugged into a laptop with no need to configure multiple devices or install complicated software. “Supporting remote workers is a non-negotiable in today’s flexible work environment. Why should those who dial in feel less included in a meeting than other participants? Our new RICOH 360 Meeting Hub helps combat this feeling by creating an immersive experience so that individuals interacting with a group see and hear everyone as clearly as if they were with them in person. This can be a real game-changer for reaching meeting attendees and audiences who experience disengagement as remote participants,” said Hiroaki Kashiwagi, President and CEO of PFU (EMEA) Limited.
