In today's fast-paced industrial environments, wireless connectivity is more than a convenience—it's a mission-critical necessity. Yet, as many North American manufacturers have discovered, what works in theory doesn't always translate to the factory floor. Interference, obstructions, and unpredictable dead zones can derail even the most advanced wireless tools. That's why

Certified Teams Rooms kit from Nureva and AudioCodes needs no ceiling mics

Certified Teams Rooms kit from Nureva and AudioCodes needs no ceiling mics

Nureva and AudioCodes earned Microsoft Teams Rooms certification for an Android setup for medium rooms: Nureva’s HDL310 plus three AudioCodes devices. The design avoids tabletop or ceiling mics and skips complex DSP and custom programming. It helps IT teams standardize repeatable rooms, while certification tests device performance (not feature claims).

  • 01A medium Teams Room on Android can be built from four jointly certified devices (Nureva HDL310, AudioCodes RXVCam70, RXV200-ES and RX-PAD-ES) without tabletop or ceiling microphones.

Cornea's Class AI puts 100+ teaching tools on its interactive panel

Cornea's Class AI puts 100+ teaching tools on its interactive panel

Cornea's Class AI software adds more than 100 teaching tools. Cornea, an OEM on the GeM portal, presents its products under the theme "One Brand for Every Display Need," which could appeal to schools and government buyers who want one supplier.

  • 01Cornea positions itself as a single source for hardware, software and AI-enabled AV infrastructure, with consolidation pitched as valuable for institutions fitting out rooms in batches.
  • 02For buyers already standardized on a conferencing or audio brand, how well a new panel fits the installed gear matters more than a single-brand classroom stack.
  • 03Signal to watch: whether the AIO PC, the Orator lectern and the new panel appear as orderable GeM listings, and at what price.

TVC's Genting Casino Manchester refit reuses 10 screens alongside 12 new ones

TVC's Genting Casino Manchester refit reuses 10 screens alongside 12 new ones

TVC Technology Solutions has upgraded Genting Casino Manchester with a curved LED entrance wall and 12 new Iiyama displays, while updating, relocating and repurposing 10 existing screens. A WyreStorm NetworkHD AV-over-IP platform links old and new screens as one system, suggesting how compatible venues can expand without rebuilding cabling or replacing everything.

  • 01At Genting Casino Manchester, TVC updated, relocated and repurposed 10 existing screens and installed 12 new Iiyama displays. An AV-over-IP network is what lets them run alongside the new screens as one system.
  • 02Once receivers are already on the IP network, adding a screen mostly means fitting a decoder at the new spot. The cabling back to a central rack doesn't need rebuilding.
  • 03Reuse has limits. The showpiece entrance wall was new and custom-built from bracket to controller, so carried-over hardware only works for the parts of the venue where compatible gear already exists.
