Lenovo Announces ThinkSmart One, the World’s First Windows-based All-in-One Collaboration Bar

Lenovo has officially announced the all-new ThinkSmart One Smart Collaboration bar. Designed for small to medium meeting rooms or dedicated home office spaces, ThinkSmart One all-in-one (AIO) bar is the world’s first running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and powered by an embedded 11^th Gen Intel® Core™ processor with vPro® technology.

Supporting familiar video conferencing applications such as Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms, and featuring eight microphone arrays with echo and noise cancellation, 15-Watt stereo speakers, and an integrated high-resolution camera with a wide field of view, ThinkSmart One offers an exceptional audio-visual experience.

Furthermore, ThinkSmart One can be easily installed, managed and customized centrally through ThinkSmart Manager and offers enhanced security levels available with Intel vPro security and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system. The AIO bar also includes the 10.1-inch touch screen ThinkSmart Controller, the same as provided with our Core room kits, for simple and easy control of meetings.

Purpose-built to anticipate a continued growth of hybrid meeting spaces as traditional offices are transformed into more dynamic and collaborative business centers, ThinkSmart One extends Lenovo’s video conferencing and collaboration platforms that play a critical role in helping employee productivity and engagement.

ThinkSmart One Summary:

• Exceptional and flexible experience from an all-in-one device that includes audio-visuals and compute built into the bar, wall mount option, and an easy-to-use separate touch screen controller
• Innovative and scalable through multiple input and output ports including HDMI and USB, as well as 2 x RJ45, one of which features Power over Ethernet (PoE) for more adaptability
• Immersive audio-visuals that feature eight microphones with 180-degree coverage, an FHD camera with 100-degree horizontal field-of-view, and stereo speakers with a usable range in excess of eight meters (approximately 26 feet)
• Easy to manage through the included controller, or remotely managed through ThinkSmart Manager

Value-added Software and Services
As with all Lenovo ThinkSmart meeting room products, ThinkSmart One comes standard with three years of Lenovo’s Premier Support, providing access to advanced technicians 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. It also includes one year of Lenovo’s value-added software and services:

• ThinkSmart Professional Services: First Year Maintenance will help IT departments set up each kit, configure and integrate into existing unified communications platforms; and includes a one-year renewable maintenance contract that also comprises a redeployment option to a new meeting space if required.
• ThinkSmart Manager Premium is Lenovo’s collaboration management software suite. Maintaining effective collaboration means the technology needs to be always on, always connected and easy to use. ThinkSmart Manager Premium helps IT departments to configure, control and manage the entire portfolio of ThinkSmart solutions from a single intuitive interface.

“Addressing hybrid collaboration challenges isn’t simply a matter of seeing and hearing more clearly. Technology must bring more natural, in-person experiences to virtual engagements and deliver that experience equally for all participants,” said Shannon MacKay, General Manager of Worldwide Smart Collaboration Business, Lenovo. “ThinkSmart One delivers the kind of smart collaboration that fuels innovation through technology that’s ubiquitous, equitable and seamless.”

Demonstrations of Lenovo’s ThinkSmart One and more smart collaboration solutions will be shown at InfoComm 2022 between June 8-10 in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, West Hall, booth W2623.
