WHAT'S NEW 01732 759725 26 Canon enhances workspace portfolio Canon Europe has announced key enhancements across its imageRUNNER ADVANCE, imageRUNNER, i-SENSYS X and imagePRESS portfolios. The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 4800 Series and imageRUNNER 2700 Series offer users all the connectivity, productivity, sustainability, security and easy serviceability benefits of Canon’s existing A3 MPF portfolio, but as smaller devices with a greater range of output. The models offer increased functionality through wider media support, increased stapling capacity and reduced footprint for easy transportation and storage. Additionally, the latest range allows for an all-important level of device continuity with straightforward installation and maintenance, ensuring a seamless experience in every type of workplace. The latest addition to Canon’s colour A4 portfolio, the i-SENSYS X C1333 Series, delivers improved productivity, user experience and strengthened security, all on more compact devices. Thanks to a new design and engine, users are empowered with faster printing and scanning capabilities on smaller, lighter devices. Wider and higher quality media output, such as A5 duplex print and A6 support, make the devices a reliable and flexible component to any mixed fleet. The new imagePRESS C270 Series offers higher speed scanning and a consistent user experience in line with the rest of the Canon workspace portfolio. www.canon.co.uk Focus On: What’s New Passwordless authentication Customers can now access their vault, and all sites stored in it, with a simple and secure passwordless login using the LastPass Authenticator. As the first password manager with this offering, LastPass is in a unique position to bring both individuals and businesses instant access to the applications and credentials they need in a seamless, simple and secure way. The company is actively building FIDO2 compliant components and supporting authentication mechanisms, such as biometric face and fingerprint ID, and the addition of hardware security keys which are expected to be added to the passwordless offering later this year. https://lastpass.com New conferencing flavours Konftel Attach is a range of five video kits designed for Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and more openbased solutions. The portfolio has been specifically adapted for in room systems such as from Lenovo and Dell. Konftel Attach presents a line-up of highly capable conference cameras and speakerphones, accompanied by a long USB cable (up to 10m) for optimal audio placement. The kits work with all in room PC variants, for meeting rooms of all sizes, from focus to extra-large, (when additional expansion microphones are used). Director of Global Sales, Tommy Edlund, said Konftel Attach creates more customer choice and provides channel partners with the opportunity to capture additional market share. “The in room sector is growing significantly and we expect the two distinct scenarios to eventually level off at around 50/50. The introduction of more conferencing ‘flavours’ represents a welcome expansion of our range and enables us to penetrate deeper into the market.” www.konftel.com Designed for meeting equity Developed in collaboration with Google Workspace to bring meeting equity to in-person and remote participants, Avocor’s Series One Desk 27 combines the functions of a 27-inch desk monitor, laptop docking station and digital whiteboard, through integration of the popular Google Jamboard app, while the wallmountable 65-inch Board 65 is designed to bring teams together for more efficient and intuitive collaboration.
