EPOS says the effort required to do this can make it hard to maintain focus and increases stress levels. Its Meeting Room Solutions, like the new EXPAND 40 Series Bluetooth speakerphone for small-tomedium-sized meeting rooms, incorporate EPOS BrainAdapt technology which uses unique algorithms and acoustics to support the brain’s natural way of processing sound and reduce cognitive load. eposaudio.com/meeting-room Going mobile Enreach is moving into the mobile market with the launch of its own SIM and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) products for small and medium-sized businesses.With Enreach Mobile and FMC, SMEs can give employees a single number on which they can be reached wherever they are, with a choice of plans to meet different needs.
