According to the forecast, ICT spending (including telecom and business services) will decline by -3.4% in 2020 to "just over" $4tr, with telecom spending dropping by -0.8%.

Two integrated JBL three-way speakers (tweeter, midrange and woofer) provide a surround sound-like experience. The CTOUCH Riva Operating System (COSTM) is based on Android 8, and includes splitscreen, control-your-display settings and even the ability to lock down the Android OS from the user.

Crestron Presents Dual-Mode Flex MX

E-mail Print PDF

Crestron launches unified communications (UC) tabletop conferencing addition-- the Flex MX, the first product from the company to offer both native and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) capability for flexible connectivity "with anyone on any platform from any place."

Crestron FlexFlex MX ships with either native Microsoft Teams (UC-MX150-T) or Zoom Rooms (UC-MX150-Z) capability. Both versions seamlessly switch to BYOD mode for all other conferencing software. Thus organisations using Microsoft Teams or Zoom Rooms get a native experience, while guests can plug in laptops and use the software they are already running on their devices. The result, Crestron says, is the elimination of concerns meeting rooms will not support a user's call.
