Tech Data distributes
Cygnett range
Tech Data is now distributing Cygnett
mobile cases, power packs and
accessories. Best-sellers include the
ultra-thin ChargeUp Digital 10,00mah
portable charger with dual USB
outputs for charging two devices, and
the UrbanShield case for iPhones
featuring carbon fibre detailing for extra
protection.
Integrated privacy screen
HP Sure View, a new option on the HP
EliteBook 1040 and HP EliteBook 840
notebooks, helps protect against visual
hacking with the press of a single button.
The integrated 3M privacy screen reduces
visible light by up to 95% when viewed at
an angle, making it difficult for others to
read the screen.
Easy switching
New from Plantronics, the MDA100 QD
helps customer service centres negotiate
the difficulties of transitioning from desk
phones to softphone-based telephony
and Unified Communications. The small
switch, purpose-built for call-intensive
environments, connects agents to desk
phone and softphone end points so that
they can take and manage calls from both
using their existing Plantronics headset. The
MDA100 QD works with quick-disconnect
(QD) headsets in the Plantronics
EncorePro, SupraPlus and Entera ranges.
Incentives to buy and sell
Tech Data is backing new Canon
promotions for its MAXIFY and i-SENSYS
printer ranges and imageFORMULA
scanners. These include free three-year
warranties, free ReadIris Pro 15 software
on selected scanners, plus the chance
to win instant prizes worth up to £2,000.
Resellers have the opportunity to win one
of three cash prizes of £250, £500 and
£1000 by selling seven or more devices
included in the Instant Win promotion
before 16 December 2016. They can also
accumulate bonus points in Canon’s ZIoC
(Zoom-In on Canon) incentive scheme.
Both the Instant Win and free three-year
warranty promotions run until 31 March
2017. The Readiris Pro 15 offer is available
until May 21, 2017.

of the growing Skype for Business market
by expanding its conferencing portfolio
with an integrated solution from cloud
video-conferencing specialist StarLeaf.
The StarLeaf Gtm 5140 Huddle is an easy

sharing, one touch dialling, and ‘one button

Secure
storage devices
The iStorage range of PIN-authenticated,
hardware-encrypted portable storage
devices is designed to help companies
and individuals secure sensitive and
confidential information. The range includes
USB Flash, Hard Disk and Solid State
Drives, featuring military-grade XTS-AES
256-bit full disk hardware encryption and
a keypad for PIN entry. A Brute Force Self
Destruct feature wipes the device after 10
unsuccessful attempts at entering a PIN.
10-year maintenance-free
projector
Panasonic’s new short-throw laser projector
has an extended service life of up to 10
years, thanks to its dust-resistant case,
airtight optical block and filter-less design.
Suitable for 24/7 continuous projection in
control room applications, the PT-RZ575
has 5,200 lumens of brightness and a
20,000:1 contrast ratio. Panasonic’s
SOLID SHINE laser technology is claimed
to combine reliability and unprecedented
levels of uniform brightness.
