Within the past years, technology has been subject to a very fast evolution, especially when it comes to information technology tools. Such technical improvements are remarkably beneficial for companies that need efficient solutions for conferences and meetings that take place in one workplace or even between two distant offices.
The introduction of wireless devices is one of the biggest steps that technology has taken the past few years. Getting rid of cables helped to have a more functional office as well as a smoother use of technology. This might be the reasons many companies are more inclined to upgrade their technological settings with wireless tools, clouds, and digital signage solutions.
A Danish company called Airtame has come forward with their innovative wireless screen mirroring technology and help to provide solutions for the development of office computer facilities.
Airtame product is a small dongle that can be plugged into any HDMI port to provide wireless display between a device (laptop, phone or tablet) and a screen or a projector.
Benefits of Airtame wireless screen mirroring
After purchasing a device and setting it up, the next step is to download and install the Airtame app, which is a very easy procedure. Once the app is working, it permits you to connect to one or even several Airtame devices at the same time if needed.
The perks of the Airtame dongle is firstly that it permits to reduce the use of cables considerably as it is also able to use power from the screen itself to function. And secondly, the dongle is also very discreet and will not influence the design of your office.
Compatibility and support
Another great advantage of Airtame is its compatibility with many different systems which make it very flexible to use. While iOS and MacOS, as well as Airplay, can be used without any issue, and all the recent versions of Windows are also very compatible with the device. However, even if Linux and Android can be compatible to some extent, the Airtame team is still looking into improving the results obtained while pairing those systems with the dongle.

World Clock, on the other hand, allows you to display the actual time of different places around the world. This feature can be very helpful while having offices in different countries or just when dealing with customers in a different time zone.
If you feel like your office could use some kind of art then Unsplash could be a good fit for you by providing pictures within the topic of your choice and displaying them wherever you feel like it.
