How Neat Grew from a Small Team in Oslo into a Global Video Conferencing Company

How Neat Grew from a Small Team in Oslo into a Global Video Conferencing Company

In February 2019, a small team in Oslo began working on Neat’s first devices. Seven years later, the company reported its first quarter with $100 million in revenue and double-digit profitability. Between those two milestones lies a story of growth that coincided with major changes in how we work. Video meetings stopped being a temporary substitute for meeting in person. They connected employees, offices and countries, becoming a permanent part of the working day. Neat grew alongside this shift. By 2026, the company had shipped more than 500,000 devices to customers worldwide. Yet its guiding idea remained the same: a meeting room should support the conversation, not make people focus on the technology.

Windows 10 After End of Support: Upgrade Office PCs or Replace Them?

Windows 10 After End of Support: Upgrade Office PCs or Replace Them?

Are there still Windows 10 computers in your office? Do you need to replace them all, even if they still handle their workloads? Support for Windows 10 version 22H2 ended on 14 October 2025. The computers continue to work, but the operating system no longer receives regular security updates or standard Microsoft support. The decision should therefore be made for each workstation individually. If a PC is compatible with Windows 11, in good condition and fast enough, upgrading its operating system is usually the more sensible option. If the assessment shows it is incompatible or it repeatedly needs repairs, consider replacing it. Extended Security Updates (ESU) offer a temporary option for PCs whose transition needs to be delayed.

What Is HDMI vs DisplayPort? Which One Does Your Office Setup Need?

What Is HDMI vs DisplayPort? Which One Does Your Office Setup Need?

HDMI is a common audio/video connector for TVs, projectors, meeting rooms, and simple one-screen setups. DisplayPort is a PC-focused display connector for office monitors, docking stations, and multi-monitor desks. The difference matters when you are choosing how to connect workplace equipment. In most offices, HDMI is the easier choice for meeting room screens, TVs, projectors, and simple single-monitor setups. DisplayPort is usually the better default for productivity desks, especially when users need two monitors, stable docking behavior, or a more scalable workstation setup. So if you are choosing between HDMI and DisplayPort for office equipment, use this simple rule: HDMI for simple AV setups, DisplayPort for office workstations.

What is a NAS? Local Office Storage vs. Cloud Storage Explained

What is a NAS? Local Office Storage vs. Cloud Storage Explained

A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a storage system connected to your office network, so several users can access shared files. It is not a full business server. A NAS is local network storage that can become part of a wider local server or office infrastructure setup. For small, mid-sized, and enterprise teams, it can work like a controlled “local cloud”: files stay on office-owned equipment, while access, backup, and security remain the company’s responsibility. Monday morning. The marketing team is preparing a launch. The designer opens final assets, the video editor pulls a 50GB project file, and the sync icon keeps spinning. Wi-Fi slows down. This is where basic Dropbox-style file sharing stops being enough. The question becomes: “Is our storage ready for daily production work?”

How to Make Office Hardware Projects Work: From Procurement to a Managed IT Rollout

How to Make Office Hardware Projects Work: From Procurement to a Managed IT Rollout

Office hardware projects work best when they are treated not as a one-time purchase, but as part of a wider workplace technology rollout. For SMEs, the goal is not only to select laptops, monitors, phones, access points, docks, or printers, but to prepare the environment in advance: the network, workstations, installation standards, user expectations, and post-launch support. Without this structure, small exceptions quickly become operational problems: one employee needs a different dock, another needs a special telephony profile, and a third depends on an undocumented shared resource. That is why ITmathics supports not only hardware supply, but also the service layer that turns procurement into a managed rollout: rollout planning, Designing and Creating Networks, Infrastructure Solutions, installation coordination, and post-launch support.

Inside IFA Berlin 2026: Robots, Flying Cars and a Smart Home Learning to Act on Its Own

At the entrance to Messe Berlin, visitors were greeted by flags, temporary pavilions and a continuous flow of people. The scale felt even greater inside: from 4 to 8 September, IFA 2026 attracted 240,000 visitors from 155 countries and more than 2,000 exhibitors. Yet the figures quickly gave way to the technology itself. Robots moved on exhibition stands, smart-home systems were demonstrated alongside televisions, and automotive companies brought machines to Berlin that are designed not only to drive but also to fly. It became clear early in our route through the halls that the real protagonist of this IFA would not be a single television, computer or household appliance. It would be technology learning to perceive its surroundings and act independently. In the official exhibition results, the organisers also noted that IFA had featured more robots than ever before.

iMac with M6: What We Know About the Release Timeline, Specifications, and New Colors

The next iMac could skip the M5 generation and move directly from the M4 to the M6. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing an updated 24-inch model, with a refreshed color palette expected to be one of its most visible changes. The computer is reportedly due before the end of 2026, although Apple has yet to announce it officially. The M6 chip itself is already here: Apple unveiled it on August 25 alongside the new Mac mini. That lends more weight to reports of an upcoming iMac update, but it is not official confirmation of the product. For now, Apple is still selling the iMac with the M4 chip.

IFA Berlin 2026: What to Expect and What We Know So Far

IFA 2026 has opened in Berlin. From 4 to 8 September, more than 1,900 brands are presenting their products and developments at Messe Berlin. The programme includes robot competitions, new PCs designed to run AI locally, and smart appliances capable of recognising prepared dishes, tableware, and fabric types. The main areas of focus are artificial intelligence, robotics, and the integration of different devices into shared digital ecosystems. However, it is important to distinguish between products nearing release and experimental concepts. We examine which solutions are approaching everyday use and which merely point to where the market may be heading. Official IFA Berlin 2026 website

What Is VoIP? A Practical Guide to Implementing VoIP in Office Phone Systems

What Is VoIP? A Practical Guide to Implementing VoIP in Office Phone Systems

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It means your phone calls travel over an IP network — through your LAN, Wi-Fi, and internet connection — instead of traditional copper phone lines. For many offices, desk phones still matter: reception desks, meeting rooms, fixed workstations, shared areas, and users who need reliable physical call handling may depend on them every day. VoIP is not about removing those phones by default. It is about adding IP-based calling, routing, apps, headsets, and more flexible number management around the way the team works. The simple version: VoIP brings office calling onto the IP network, which means your network becomes part of the phone system. If Wi-Fi, access points, routers, firewalls, cabling, PoE switches, or QoS rules are not ready, call quality can quickly suffer.

Neither the specifications nor the name of the foldable model has been confirmed yet. The standard iPhone 18, according to the same reports, may arrive in spring 2027 which would split the launch of the new generation into two stages.

What’s in a Student’s Backpack in 2026? 5 Back-to-School Tech Essentials

A laptop and smartphone are already standard tools for studying. But how smoothly a full day on campus goes often depends on the smaller details: a compact charger, the right cable, extra battery power, and a well-organized backpack. If your day starts with lectures, continues in the library, and ends with a project session, four things matter most: compatibility, portability, practical value, and a sensible balance between price and features. The right option is the one that fits your devices, study needs, and daily routine. Here are five practical student backpack essentials worth considering for the new academic year, with options for different needs and budgets.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8: What’s Changed and What We Know About the Launch in Serbia

Samsung has expanded the Galaxy Z family with three models, each with a character of its own. The Fold8 Ultra offers maximum screen space for multitasking and content creation. The Fold8 adapts its screen format depending on what the user is watching or reading. The Flip8 makes its cover display a fully fledged part of everyday smartphone use. The new series was unveiled on 22 July 2026. In Serbia, all three models will launch with Android 17 and One UI 9, but they will differ in their processors, cameras and access to certain AI features. The launch also comes with a superhero cameo. Samsung has linked the launch of the Fold8 and Flip8 to Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In the film, Spider-Man uses a Galaxy Z Flip, while Ned Leeds tries to track him down with a Galaxy Z Fold and a Galaxy Watch. This is more than a colourful campaign moment – it neatly captures the roles of the two formats. The compact Flip is always ready for quick actions, while the larger Fold helps users work with information and keep several tasks in view.

What Is PoE? Definition and Significance of the Technology
April 16, 2026

What Is PoE? Definition and Significance of the Technology

PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a networking technology that enables power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. Instead of running one cable for network connectivity and another for power, PoE allows devices such as Wi‑Fi access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones to operate through a single connection. For office IT teams and small businesses, this matters because a simpler cabling layout usually means faster deployment, lower installation costs, and fewer points of failure. In practice, PoE helps build more predictable, low-maintenance infrastructure.

B2B Office Setup Guide: How to Build a Scalable Workplace Ecosystem (2026)

A strong B2B office setup works best as a seamless operating system rather than a collection of separate purchases. Laptops, meeting-room video, coffee equipment, hydration points, and the infrastructure behind them all influence the same workplace experience—especially in office setups for growing companies. When those layers are planned together, the office becomes easier to manage, easier to scale, and easier for employees to use. That is why this guide approaches office infrastructure planning as one connected workplace system rather than a series of isolated purchases.
