Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 aka Martyn’s Law will change how we think about protecting people and premises, sparking very important conversations for resellers and their customers.
What does the legislation mean in practice?
What does a prepared site look like?
How do I advise my customers on what will help them to adhere to the requirements?
Join ProVu, Algo and 2N® on Thursday 19th November 2026 at 11 AM for an engaging, practical webinar exploring this law and the role technology can play.
We’ll break down the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, exploring the Standard and Enhanced Tiers and what they mean for different premises.
Then, we’ll bring the discussion to life with a hypothetical real-world examples, looking at how a site could prepare for emergencies including evacuation, lockdown and invacuation.
From emergency alerting and communication to access control, we’ll explore how the right technology can help businesses plan their response and coordinate action when it matters most.
Meet Your Expert Speakers
ProVu’s Joe Walberg (pictured), Algo’s Mike Greenwood and 2N®’s Chris Holmes will share practical insights into the challenges businesses may face and the solutions that can help.
They’ll also explore the questions resellers should be asking customers, helping you hold informed conversations and identify opportunities to support them.

Well, we’re teaming up with a new partner who can help with just that!
Join us on Tuesday20th October 2026 for a short webinar where ProVu and our new partner, Maxim Growth, will explore the opportunities available through government frameworks and how they can help you identify and secure new business.

Recently our Sales Operations Manager, Joe Walberg, and Technical Sales Executive, Ren Kingdom, visited Yealink’s Experience Centre in Canary Wharf, London to gain a deeper understanding of Yealink’s latest AV solutions and collaboration technologies.
Despite facing a challenging commute during one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures reaching 36°C in London, the visit proved to be an invaluable experience and well worth the journey.
During their visit, Joe and Ren met with Naji Kaanan, Business Development Director for Yealink AV Sales UK, along with one of Yealink’s Technical Presales Engineers. Together, they explored Yealink’s extensive portfolio of products and discussed the additional services that ProVu can offer partners alongside Yealink solutions, including installation services, advance replacement options, and extended warranties.
A key part of the day focused on how Yealink’s product range compares within the wider collaboration and AV market. One of Yealink’s strongest differentiators is its commitment to certification and interoperability. Many of its devices are certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, while also supporting a wide range of plug-and-play integrations. The team was particularly impressed by the fact that Yealink’s MeetingBar range is fully MDEP-ready, helping customers future-proof their meeting room VC solutions.
MDEP (Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform) is Microsoft’s enterprise-grade Android-based operating system designed specifically for business collaboration devices. Many products within Yealink’s portfolio are Microsoft Teams Certified and built to support MDEP.
Being MDEP-ready means Yealink’s MeetingBars and collaboration devices are designed to integrate with Microsoft’s ecosystem, providing simplified deployment, enhanced security, ongoing software support, and a more consistent user experience. For organisations investing in meeting room technology, this helps ensure long-term compatibility and easier device management.
The main focus for Yealink and ProVu is how the customer might use something, and create the best possible environment for the end user. Rather than focusing solely on individual devices, Yealink demonstrated how carefully selected product combinations can improve meeting room productivity and usability. Ren and Joe saw first-hand how Yealink’s camera technology, touch controls, and meeting room displays work together to deliver a streamlined and intuitive meeting experience.
One standout example was the combination of the MTower intelligent camera and the CTP25 touchscreen control panel. The CTP25 is part of the MeetingBar A25, A40, and A50 bundles, allowing organisations to choose a solution that best matches the size and requirements of their meeting rooms.
One of the most valuable aspects of the visit was the opportunity to see the technology operating in a real-world environment and to gain hands-on experience with the devices. Being able to interact directly with the products provided a much clearer understanding of their capabilities, use cases, and deployment options.
After a busy day of demonstrations, discussions, and product exploration, the group rounded off the visit with a well-earned drink together while taking a break from the summer heat.
Reflecting on the experience, both Ren and Joe agreed that seeing the technology in action gave them a far greater appreciation of Yealink’s solutions and how they can benefit ProVu’s partners and their customers.
If you would like to learn more about Yealink’s collaboration solutions or discuss the products featured during the visit, please contact us on 01484 840048 and ask for Ren or Joe, or you can or email us.

What’s New?
The D8 Series Desk Phones

The new D8xx Series models complete the existing portfolio, with solutions for both cost-conscious workplaces to high-performance business environments requiring maximum flexibility and security. They offer secure software architecture, modern interfaces (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/USB), outstanding acoustics, ergonomic operation and long-term investment protection through interoperability and regular updates.
NEW Deskphones – D810W
The D810W is Snom’s new entry-level device for professional IP telephony. Positioned below the successful D812, it offers modern communication features in a compact and cost-efficient form. Its 5.0-inch (127 mm) IPS-TFT colour display ensures information is presented clearly. Integrated Wi-Fi enables flexible placement without the need for network cables, while the wear-free electronic hook switch enhances durability. A USB port for headsets or peripherals and energy-efficient hardware make the D810W a future-proof solution for offices, home offices, and reception areas.
NEW Deskphones – D892M
With the D892M, Snom expands its business class portfolio, with a powerful model tailored to demanding corporate environments. The device features a high-resolution, 5-inch LCD colour display, adjustable by 40 degrees, providing clear, high-contrast visibility of lists, contacts and contextual menus. Integrated Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and hearing aid compatibility make the D892M a reliable all-rounder. Its wireless DECT receiver offers mobility of up to 50m. Compatibility with leading UC platforms makes it ideal for professional environments – such as financial institutions, consulting firms or public sector organisations – requiring top-tier quality, stability and security.

Emergency Phone: E303
The E303 is easily recognisable as an emergency phone from a distance and can be quickly located in low-light conditions. In the IP version, simply lifting the handset automatically connects the caller to a predefined number such as reception, the emergency services or a staffed help desk, bypassing time-consuming steps like dialling emergency numbers. This can be handled via the phone system or assigned to speed dial buttons in the analogue version.
Visit the Snom Team on Stand B15 to get hands on with these new, yet to be launched devices, and speak directly to UK representatives.
With just two weeks to go until Channel Live opens its doors, we’re excited to share what Yealink has in store for you.
