The NXE 500 incorporates the latest transformerless technologies to deliver TÜV-certified operational efficiency up to 97% in online UPS mode, while its efficiency control system minimises wasted energy even at partial loads. Delivering unity power in a compact footprint, the three-phase NXE series delivers best in class performance and includes several energy-saving features that reduce both power consumption and operating costs. These include a special active eco operating mode that powers the load using the bypass line as well as acting as a filter that eliminates the need for power factor correction. This function boosts efficiency to 98.5%. Up to eight NXE UPS can be paralleled together to increase capacity or add redundancy. The series offers bottom or top cable entry and can also operate either with or without a neutral connection, making it suitable for three- wire installations. It comes with a large 7-inch colour LCD touchscreen display panel and easily integrates with DCIM and remote monitoring software. www.riello-ups.co.uk Digital desk phone series Panasonic’s next-generation of business digital desk telephone – the KX- DT680 and the KX-DT635 feature a large colour LCD display screen, intuitive operation and customisation options.

The new functionality adds social distancing, contact tracing and sanitation checks to resource booking so that when someone books a desk in Smartway2, all surrounding desks within a specified radius are automatically taken out of service. When a desk is vacated, a countdown timer in the system prevents anyone else from booking it until it has been sanitised, with desk/room sign-off and release procedures fully automated. The solution also includes digital desk displays that indicate whether a workstation is available, awaiting cleaning or out of service. In the event that someone falls ill, Smartway2 can produce contact tracing reports that identify at-risk colleagues, categorising their risk level depending on their proximity to the infected person. www.smartway2.com Focus On: What’s New Universal video call service Cloud and edge solutions provider, G-Core Labs, has launched Meet, a universal video call service for businesses based on WebRTC technology.
