Minim BYON Solution Fresh off a master agent agreement with Telarus, Minim offers an AI-driven managed Wi-Fi and security platform that improves Wi-Fi performance, safeguards business operations and delivers insights to IT personnel, said the company. Founded in response to the Mirai botnet attack of 2016 by the former CEO and founder of Dyn, Minim is a “bring your own network” SaaS solution that transforms at-home work environments into secure, managed office networks in seconds. The solution is comprised of three products, available for one monthly fee per remote worker. Minim-powered Ac- cess Points, featuring leading router brands, provide meshed network devices with zero touch provisioning to create the Minim network. The Minim-powered Motorola system boasts AC2200 Tri- Band Wi-Fi, 6,000 feet of coverage and auto-managed firmware. Minim Edge Extend is a web application that grants IT personnel and MSPs visibility into their Minim networks with insights including employee network usage, health scores, mesh system settings management and vulnerability analysis from an AI-driven IoT firewall. And finally, Minim Remote Assistant is a mobile app for employees to self-diagnose Wi-Fi performance is- sues, such as low signal strength or speeds, as well as set home policies for security filters, ad blocking, safe search, listening device pausing and more. Poly Calisto 5300 The Calisto 5300 means at-home workers and remote teams can enjoy professional, conference-call audio despite their location or devices. To- day, calls take place on many devices, whether it’s a PC, mobile or tablet. But with Bluetooth connectivity, the Calisto 5300 personal speakerphone connects to any device quickly and reliably. All the while, the Calisto 5300 provides excep- tional audio quality up to 10 feet away, said Poly. Its 360-degree microphone helps users hear clearly and makes sure they are heard by those on the other end of the call. And with amplified speakers and wide frequency response, it works well for multimedia usage, too. For the IT team, Plantronics Manager Pro provides remote management, headset inventory and usage monitoring. For knowledge workers who spend most of the time on calls but are lucky enough to have a quiet, designated workspace, Poly recommends the Cal- isto 5300 speakerphone paired with the EagleEye Mini USB camera. The Poly EagleEye Mini camera provides business-class performance for small room environments with HD 1080P video, electronic pan and tilt.
