Networking equipment provider
NETGEAR has launched a plug-and-
play solution for small offices that
require just one or twoWiFi access
points. The standalone NETGEAR Dual
Band 802.11acWireless Access Point

improveWiFi coverage and upgrade an
existing router or ISP box to the latest
802.11acWiFi technology. It supports
dual band concurrent operation
with combined throughput of up to
1.2Gbps, up to four times the speed of
previous-generation 802.11n networks.
It can be wall- or desk-mounted and
is interoperable with new and legacy
laptops, smartphones, tablets, VoIP
phones and surveillance cameras.With
four Ethernet ports, a single access
point can also connect up to four wired
devices.

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.
Ergonomic mesh chairs
Sculpture from Century Office is a range of
ergonomic mesh chairs offering excellent
lumbar and back support. Chairs can be locked
in five positions, with optional lumbar height
adjustment. A forward seat tilt with active tension
control helps promote blood flow and reduce
muscle fatigue during prolonged periods of
working.
Compostable coffee pod
Percol Coffee Co is helping to tackle the
environmental impact of coffee pod waste with
the launch of a compostable coffee capsule. The
Nespresso-compatible capsule is made from
natural plant-based materials and can take as few
as 12 weeks to break down completely, compared
to 500 years for ones made from aluminium,
plastic or both.

stylus specially designed for taking selfies, editing
photos and creating drawings on smartphones.
When paired with an iOS or Android phone via
Bluetooth, Snap can be used as a remote photo
clicker. Snap is charged via USB and features a
small 1.9mm Pixelpoint tip. Its thin 4.3mm body
magnetically attaches to the phone’s rear for easy

Get in the picture
The new Lifesize Icon 450 HD
camera and phone system addresses
the challenges of bringing video
collaboration to huddle rooms.
The dimensions of huddle rooms
often make it difficult for a video
conferencing camera to capture
everyone in the room. The Icon 450’s
smart-framing sensor intelligently
adjusts its wide-angle camera lens
to automatically capture and include
everyone in the picture. Paired
with the Lifesize cloud-based video
communication platform, it creates an
effortless meeting experience that’s
simple for end users.
