The new access points join three existing models, making Zyxel Networks’ Wi-Fi 7 portfolio the most extensive and comprehensive in the industry, providing options to suit every size and type of organisation. “We are seeing real momentum among businesses to adopt Wi-Fi 7 devices, but often the underlying network capabilities are not able to deliver the expected user experience,” said Kell Lin, Senior Associate Vice President, Networking Strategic Business Unit, Zyxel Networks. “By adding four new Wi-Fi 7 access points to our range, we are able to support SMBs to adopt new technologies smoothly, driving continued penetration of Wi-Fi 7 worldwide.” www.zyxel.com Updated TCO Certified criteria IT purchasers, including procurement professionals, IT managers, sustainability leaders and policymakers, are now empowered to raise their sustainability ambitions with the updated criteria of TCO Certified, the global sustainability certification for IT products for over 30 years. The stricter criteria help purchasers to take the lead in social and environmental sustainability and reduce the climate impact of electronics by choosing responsibly designed products, verified by independent experts. The new and updated criteria covers four key areas: Climate – driving improvements in production and product design to reduce the climate impact of IT products. Circularity – setting a new standard for product longevity with a minimum of five years use time. Substances – improving chemical safety, focusing on stabilisers, external cables and next-tier suppliers; and supply chain – criteria are made stricter and extended further into the supply chain. “The focus on measuring product carbon footprints has proven challenging, and also diverts attention from reducing the footprints,” said Sören Enholm, CEO of TCO Development, the organisation behind TCO Certified. “TCO Certified is all about driving real change, and besides pushing for reduced product carbon footprints the updated criteria also push for longer product life and a reduction of e-waste. Choosing certified products not only reduces environmental impact but also supports ethical supply chains, giving organisations a competitive edge.” https://tcocertified.com Technology partnership Hitachi Vantara has announced a collaboration with Virtana, a leader in AI-powered monitoring and observability for hybrid infrastructure environments.
