5 ways SMB’s can benefit from UPS

Unfortunately, unexpected power outages can happen to any business at any time. We’ve all been there; staff are often left with little to do and are fighting to clear out the stationery cupboard. What if we could help you to minimise the disruption? With the help of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), we can help your business stay connected even when the power is out.

Safeguard your Business with a UPS Solution

1. Uninterrupted Power
In the event of a mains power failure, UPS devices can provide a seamless, uninterrupted power supply. This ensures that all attached business devices remain operational, preventing any potential data loss during work. Additionally, it maintains power between mains failure and generator start-up, allowing for a smooth transition between power sources. Whether you’re on the phone when an outage occurs or working on an important document, a UPS will protect you from being disconnected.
2. Stay compliant with OFCOM regulations.
As we edge closer to the 2025 PSTN switch off, service providers will be required to offer at least one backup solution to customers to enable them to access emergency services in the instance of a power outage. UPS devices can play a pivotal role in helping businesses stay compliant by providing access to publicly available telephone services (PATS) with at least 1 hour of backup power.
3. Surge Protection
Constantly checking the incoming voltage, a UPS can detect any sudden increases or drops in power. If it senses that something harmful is happening, it will switch to an alternate power source to prevent any damage to the equipment connected to it. Once the danger has passed, the UPS will switch back to using the main power supply.
4. Cost
Have you considered the cost of lost productivity or the expense of recreating and recovering lost data? By installing a UPS, you can ensure that workstations stay up and running, no matter what. This is particularly crucial if you’re working on time-sensitive projects, handling sensitive data or information, or facing other similar scenarios.
5. Opportunity to Backup Essential Data
By implementing a UPS solution, employees can have the opportunity to securely back up their critical data and power off their workstations and servers, thus minimising the risk of data loss.

The reality is that power outages cost businesses money.

New Licensing of 2N Intercoms and Access units

If you’ve not already heard, 2N have simplified their licensing options in an effort to make your life just that little bit easier. The licensing for 2N’s intercoms and access control units are now as follows:

All features from the former Enhanced Security and Enhanced Audio license plus NFC and HTTP API are included in the price of the intercom
Gold Licence (9137909) – To simplify the ordering process 2N have reduced the number of licences available and replaced it with their Gold Licence. This will give you access to features including enhanced video and integration. To help with the migration, the price of the Gold Licence has now been reduced by 30%.
The 2N Access Unit is now supplied with the whole feature set, meaning there’s no need for any additional licenses

Let Us Explain It For You…

The following licenses will remain unchanged:

The following licenses are now discontinued:

IP Intercoms Access Unit
  • Enhanced Audio (9137905)
  • Enhanced Video (9137906)
  • Enhanced Integration (9137907)
  • Enhanced Security (9137908)
  • NFC (9137915)
  • Lift Module (9160401)
  • NFC (916012)
  • Lift Module (9160401)

What do these Changes mean for You & Your Customers?

We know that 2N’s licensing options have been a tricky area to navigate, especially for end users. We hope that these changes will help make your quotation and ordering process simpler. 2N greatly value the development, security and efficiency of their products and want you to benefit from all security features by default.

DECT Deployment Done Right

Deploying a DECT solution can come with more than a few challenges. First and foremost, you will want to make sure the solution you quote will meet your customers’ requirements. Getting your projects nailed at the beginning can save you time and money and keep your customers satisfied, without having to spend a long time going back and forth between sites, improving coverage.

The W80 deployment kit is perfect for combatting DECT deployment challenge, with special firmware that allows the W80 kit to effortlessly assess where and how many base stations you need to achieve the desired coverage.

What’s in the box?

W80 Base Station (DTK)

W56H Handset x 2

UH33 Headset x 2

The W80 base station is loaded with specialist firmware to pair with the supplied handsets. This helps to reduce interference with any existing base station coverage, allowing you to quickly identify the number of base stations required for your deployment.

Loaded with the same specialist firmware, the W56H handsets allow you to move around the deployment area and emits an audio cue to signify the coverage strength to make sure your devices are getting the best connection.

Connect the UH33 headsets to the W53H to make sure you are getting the clearest audio quality from your devices before they are deployed.

What are the Benefits of using a Deployment Kit?

When it comes to Multi-Cell DECT deployment, there are a number of things to take into consideration. The thickness of the walls, building layout, stairwells and fire doors all have an impact. Using a deployment kit helps to ensure the items you quote will be right for the project in hand. This will ultimately speed up your deployment time too.

Did you know you can rent a deployment kit?
Want to test the benefits of a W80 deployment kit for yourself? Why not take advantage of our rental kit. We offer a full W80 deployment kit to rent so you can make sure your quote is fit for purpose and can test how easy the kit is to set up and use.
