Mobile VoIP: Lenovo ThinkPad Innovations for VARs

Keyboard Noise Suppression. Our customers take notes, check e-mail, browse the web, etc. while on VoIP calls and want to reduce keyboard noise when they type. This new feature automatically senses when a user starts typing and reduces the noise of key clicks by suppressing the frequency of that noise.

Speakerphone capability. This automatically boosts a user’s voice if they move away from the PC so they sound closer to the microphone even if they physically aren’t.  With this new feature you can now toggle between this and Private Chat mode with ease to optimize your experience.  Private chat uses beam-forming technology to focus the dual digital microphones to pick up only the user in front the notebook and cancel out noise from the sides.  It’s what I like to call a “cone of silence” for your VoIP calls

Industry Leading VoIP Controls (both Hardware and Software). One of the Hardware features we improved with our latest evolution of our keyboards in 2009 is more emphasis and usability on multi-media controls.  We added a mute-mic button for quick access to muting your end of the call for those times when you need to only listen.  We’ve also provided a Function+F6 hotkey (picture below) to gain access to our Communications Utility 2.0 TVT.  From the software front, we’ve really dialed up VoIP improvements and control for our latest version of this Utility this year including quick controls to Hide My Video Image (a commonly asked for feature for those that conduct video conference calls!), Speakerphone and Private chat mode controls as well as access to advanced features that can take you into deeper levels such as automatically optimizing your audio for voice when a call is detected.
