BUILDING MORE PRODUCTIVITY INTO OUR HEADSETS WITH AMAZON ALEXA AND TILE

October 23, 2019 | 119 views

If you’re like me, one of the first things you do when you leave the house in the morning is put on your headset. I may be joining a meeting, calling a friend, getting coffee – sometimes all three – before I even set foot in the office. When I get to work, I’m collaborating with teammates who are in home and Poly offices throughout the country and world. Here at Poly, we understand that every minute counts and that a good headset is a true partner in productivity. I’m pleased to announce two new outstanding features to our Voyager headsets that are going to help you get more out of your devices. First, we have integrated Amazon Alexa into Voyager 5200 and Voyager 4200 UC Series. Just tap-and-ask, and Alexa will respond so you can focus on your tasks at hand. With Alexa built-in you can check your schedule, your to-do list or catch up on the latest news.

Why The Airbus A220 Is The Plane Of The Future

Article | June 8, 2022

The Airbus A220 isn’t really a new aircraft. Bombardier first flew the CSeries in September 2013, with its entry into service in July 2016. And yet, the A220 seems to be answering problems that we’re not quite having yet. Airbus predicts a need for 7,000 A220s over the next two decades, and that’s probably not too overoptimistic. Here’s how the A220 is the plane of the future, today. The landscape of aviation is changing. In the past, airlines operated on hub and spoke models, passengers were happy to fit around schedules and the price of jet fuel was so low that efficiency wasn’t a huge consideration. Clearly, aviation today is very different.
