We’ve done large update to ProSys, our secure online portal for phone ordering, provisioning and management.
There should be no user visible changes. All the work is in the back end.
If you find any problems, comments or suggests please get in touch.
Eartec have recently developed a new range of premium headsets, which are available from ProVu. Eartec is fast becoming the popular choice for headsets and since its launch we’ve had a very positive response and experienced an extremely low return rate.
The new Eartec 700 Pro Series offers users a slick, yet robust design. And with in-built, two tier noise cancelling technology, it gives an enhanced user experience, even in noisy and busy working environments. We believe these new headsets will be a great addition for users wanting more from their headset but at an affordable price point.

The ProVu Team enjoyed a successful trip to the Convergence Summit North last week. It was great to catch up with our new and existing customers, we hope it was an enjoyable experience for all who attended!
We would like to thank everyone who visited us on stand 47 and a special thank you to our vendor partners, 2N, Gigaset, Sangoma, Snom, VTech and Yealink for joining us. We look forward to the next Convergence Summit, taking place on 27th and 28th September in London.
Most ProVu deliveries are shipped using either DPD or APC.
Up until now, we have only used DPD for shipments which fitted in one box. For shipments in multiple boxes DPD was a special option and the prices were worked out manually by our sales team.
From today (7th March 2016) we will be offering DPD as an option for all deliveries up to 100 Kg. (about 50 phones).
The pricing is in ProSys and you can choose DPD from the drop down menu.
For larger orders, DPD tends to be a bit more expensive than APC. But we know some customers like the txts and emails that DPD can send to your end users to update on delivery status.
The background is that DPD is pricing based on the number of parcels in a delivery. APC price based on the total weight of the shipment. For DPD we have to estimate how many boxes each delivery will fit into.
As with all new services, we value your feedback. If you see something which doesn’t seem quite right, please get in touch. 01484 840048

Following the success of last week’s webinar on IP Paging Systems, we have decided to expand on this and run an additional 2 webinars; covering multicast paging and music streaming over IP.
Taking place on Thursday 10th March at 3:00 PM GMT (London), our next webinar will focus on how you can utilise multicast paging to convert existing or new IP infrastructure for paging. The webinar will cover the benefits of multicast paging and give a live demonstration of how to set up a multicast page between different IP end points.
The webinar will feature a mixture of technical and sales information and is suitable for anyone working on an IP PA Solution or in a post sales role. We expect the webinar to last approximately 30 minutes.
We have received an end of life notice from Snom for their Snom 300 model. We believe we have sufficient stock levels available that will enable us to continue supplying this model until the end of May 2016. However, this is subject to demand and is based on our usual run rates. We will keep you informed of the expected end of life date as we clear the last remaining stock.
If you have any queries or would like to discuss how these changes may effect any projects you are working on, please contact the ProVu team
To offer you some useful insights in to the benefits of offering IP PA Paging Systems, we will be running a webinar on the 24th February at 11:00AM GMT (London). Throughout the webinar, we will be giving an overview of IP Paging Systems and how our product range can help you convert existing analogue systems or install new PA Systems for your customers.
This is a great opportunity for you to hear about the latest PA Systems and how they allow broadcasting of public announcements, advertising messages, streaming live or recorded music among a host of additional benefits.
A story was published on the BBC News website today regarding a vulnerability in snom phones that could allow someone to eavesdrop on you.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35579273
If you read this story earlier today, you should re-read it as it has been substantially edited in the last hour or so.
I would just like to reassure customers that this is not news to either ourselves or snom. It is just a case of setting decent passwords on the phone and using up to date firmware. Devices must be set up correctly to operate in a secure fashion, snom phones actually do more to remind you to do this than any other phone – they have messages on the LCD screens and web interfaces.
Also, ProVu advise customers on security best-practices and we can provision a sensible set of default settings to your IP phones.
Snom publish a best-practices guide here:
http://wiki.snom.com/FAQ/How_do_I_secure_my_phone
The gist of this is to use recent firmware, set a strong HTTP password and leave hidden-tags turned on.
This advice pretty much fits with any SIP phone (indeed, any device you connect to your network).
It’s a shame snom have been singled out here because they do more than many to secure their phones.
Paul.
