Virtual Offices

As times change and technology evolves, there is an increase in virtual offices where people need to work remotely. Providing flexible working options for your employees helps you attract the best performing people for your business. The rise of digital is not slowing down, so here are some ways that we can help you implement virtual office arrangements for your business and your employees.

Video Conferencing – The 3 Essentials

1. CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH OMNISOUND®

Users can sit back and relax, joining in the conversation, hearing and being heard effortlessly. Konftel’s OmniSound® audio technology with full duplex guarantees powerful and crystal clear sound in both directions.

2. NO HASSLE GUARANTEE

A single USB cable is all you need to connect the camera, the sound device and the room’s screen to the collaboration app on your laptop. The Konftel OCC Hub brings everything together into one convenient package. Find out more about how it works on the next page.

3. IMPRESSIVE VIDEO QUALITY

Konftel’s USB conference cams deliver stunning image quality in your video conference. Small huddle rooms need a wide field of view and 4K resolution. For medium and large meeting rooms, the optimum choice is a PTZ camera with optical zoom. Whichever camera you choose, you’ll always get it at a fraction of what comparable conference cams cost.

We have great value packages for hassle-free

video conferencing in any type of meeting room

Whether you’re operating from a small huddle room or a large boardroom, you can be sure that the package you choose is optimised for excellent sound and images in that specific situation.

SMALL – up to 6 people

In small meeting rooms, you need to be able to position the camera close to the table. Here it’s important to have a wide field of view that captures all the meeting participants in a natural way, without them having to lean into shot. Our huddle room package includes a 4K camera with a 105° field of view, while WDR technology delivers a balanced image whatever the light conditions. The package also comes with the brilliant Konftel Ego speakerphone, for a crystal clear audio experience at both ends of the conversation.

MEDIUM – up to 12 people

The conference cam with 4K resolution and digital PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) performs beautifully even in a medium-sized meeting room. With an incredibly detailed picture, you can zoom in for optimum coverage without any loss of perceived video quality. A larger room brings a need for a more powerful speakerphone. Our medium package includes a model from the Konftel 55 series, with the capacity to capture what everyone says in the room and reproduce the dialog with clarity and precision.

LARGE – up to 20 people

Large conference rooms need a proper PTZ camera with optical zoom and a tighter field of view to create the right sense of preSence. In some cases, it can also be a great choice for a medium-sized room. The camera can be placed at a distance from the meeting participants without them looking like they’re sitting miles away.  Zoom  in on the face of the person presenting or highlight the details of a product sample with impressive sharpness and clarity. In this context, you need a speakerphone with expansion microphones to extend the effective audio pick- up range. Most of the large packages also offer hybrid conferencing, allowing you to combine web meetings with regular phone calls.

Home Office

With the increased need and ability for people to work from home, it is still your responsibility as an employer to ensure their home office meets all the requirements in terms of safety and functionality. Rapid Electrical can help  set up the infrastructure required for your employees to work from home including:

• Power: We will ensure the correct amount of power outlets are installed in each home office to reduce any unnecessary overload on one outlet.
• Lighting: We will install the best lighting in each home office. Having adequate lighting will help with productivity and reduce any safety risks from bad lighting.
• Test &  Tag: Just as we do in your commercial office spaces, we also need to test and tag all electrical appliances that are used in a home office space to ensure their safety and adherence to Australian standards.
• Internet: more on this below.

Wireless Internet

Most households do not have the best internet speeds possible. To get the most out of your existing system and to get high-performance networking throughout a larger home or office you need to deploy Wireless Access Points throughout and upgrade the cabling to the access point. Depending on your needs and budget, Rapid Electrical can offer a range of products and services to combat the slow internet.

Some of our weapons of choice are:

• Installing Powerline to get Ethernet to your access point
• Upgrading old phone lines to CAT6 cabling to increase bandwidth
• Installing fibre cabling
• Installing a mesh of access points throughout the office or house

Having the best wireless internet connections for home offices:

• Increases productivity
• Reduces unnecessary downtime
• Keeps everyone connected
• Increases motivation for staff to keep performing at their best
