Snehal Bhudia, Director of Business Propositions & Go To Market for Three UK, said: “Everyone knows that a strong reliable internet connection is absolutely vital for SMEs, but often those connections are neither convenient nor great value for money. That’s why we’ve introduced a broadband connection that runs on 5G, meaning no waiting for roads to be dug up or engineers running wires through the walls, simply plug and play out of the box. All for less than the cost of fixed line alternatives with similar speeds.” Field work The all-new Algiz 10XR ultra-rugged 10-inch Windows tablet from Handheld Group, part of MilDef, brings enhanced performance and IP65 and MIL-STD durability to field work and challenging environments in logistics, mining, public transport, public safety, waste management and GIS. Despite being smaller and lighter than predecessors, the tablet is claimed to have two times better graphics, measurably faster performance and future-proof 5G communications for live video streams and bandwidth-heavy tasks like mapping. The Algiz 10XR is available with NFC and barcode scanner options and multiple accessories, including carry cases, vehicle cradles, pole mounts, extended batteries and a vehicle dock with antenna pass-through for both GPS and Wi-Fi. www.handheldgroup.com More secure authentication New from digital agreements security company OneSpan, the DIGIPASS CX range of cloud-connected identity verification devices offers a more secure alternative to authentication by username and password or multifactor authentication based on email or SMS.
