by Shane Henson — May 7, 2012—Nevers Industries, a manufacturer of innovative wood furniture solutions for offices and collaborative spaces, has released a complete line of technology-rich, stand-alone environments specifically designed to support small to large group videoconferencing. Employees may find this line, called Interconnect, a welcome change from long, old-fashioned conference tables that many employers still use for videoconferencing despite their lack of connections for communication devices.
According to the company, Interconnect tables are powered and pre-wired to support instant, plug-in connectivity with a host of current communication devices via connection cubbies built into the tables. Single or dual displays are part of the environments and allow fluid visual sharing of ideas and data at the touch of a button.
Facilities managers can purchase tables that come in a variety of shapes, sizes and heights, which makes them suitable for more than just videoconferencing. To use for videoconferencing, however, staff need simply to bring their laptops, tablets or smart phones to plug in and share ideas, information or presentations. The tables can be equipped with all of the technology that employees need to connect up to six people.
Interconnect tables are also finished on all sides and can be located anywhere. The tables are truly “plug and play,” says the company. Just add a video monitor and mounting bracket and connect the “Share Me” VGA cable to the Interconnect Media Switch, and videoconferencing can begin.
Like Nevers Industries’ other products, the tables within its Interconnect line are environmentally friendly, the company says. Never is dedicated to producing quality wood office furniture in a responsible manner and says it has taken the following measures to ensure that it does its part as a steward of the environment:
- Using low-VOC finishing products that produce low emissions, resulting in cleaner air;
- Using state-of-the-art spray equipment that has a high transfer rate that reduces emissions;
- Extracting chemicals from rags before disposal;
- Separating scrap wood from trash and recycling it into woodchips for reuse as animal bedding or landscape products;
- Having employees recycle paper, cardboard and aluminum cans;
- Recycling hazardous chemicals into other durable products; and
- Using a multi-ply table banding process that conserves wood consumption.
- Using state-of-the-art spray equipment that has a high transfer rate that reduces emissions;
