Communicloud Introduces Wearable Technology To Deliver Dual Benefit Of Productivity And Safety

Issue 64

Northeast collaboration & cyber security expert, CommuniCloud has added RealWear HMT-1, the world's most powerful wearable computer to its portfolio.

RealWear HMT-1 is the world’s first hands-free

Android tablet class wearable computer. The

technology is proven to increase productivity

whilst enhancing safety. The innovative wearable

technology is the latest offer from CommuniCloud,

which boasts significant experience in cloud, hybrid,

and on-premise business solutions.

What differentiates the RealWear headset

is its range of hands-free functionality and

seamless integration to a wide audience of Video

Conferencing platforms meaning the user can give

a “user’s eye view” of what the engineer or field

worker is seeing. Originally designed for industrial

workers, the use cases are endless, from remote

diagnostics, remote worker training, practical

teaching etc.

A fully rugged head-mounted device, the HMT-1

snaps into safety helmets or attaches to bump caps

and can be used with safety glasses or corrective

eyewear. The high-resolution micro display fits just

below the wearer’s line of sight, providing a view

equivalent to a 7” tablet.

Noel Miland, CommuniCloud Country Manager,

UK and Ireland explains why the technology will

be especially beneficial for Northeast businesses,

“For off-shore, manufacturing and automotive

sectors, for example, wearable technology can

be a complete game changer. When workers are

in potentially hazardous industrial situations, it

means no more scrolling, swiping or tapping –

they have full hands-free voice control. They can

therefore concentrate solely on their key tasks

rather than grappling with hand-held technology

whilst collaborating easily with colleagues who can

see in detailed High Definition what the wearer is

seeing”.

This type of wearable technology brings obvious

safety benefits but has also been shown to improve

productivity. Allowing staff to maintain their focus

on the task in hand, means less time wasted on

non-productive activities.

For CommuniCloud, the RealWear HMT-1 is just

the latest addition to their portfolio. Noel explains,

“We are, at our core, a collaboration & cyber

security business – the differentiation we deliver

in bringing this product into our portfolio is how

we will deploy the underpinning infrastructure

and ensure the environment in which it operates

is fully secure. The expertise we have developed

in providing services to government, healthcare,

finance, ICT and education, means we are wellplaced to support northeast businesses to adopt

this and other technology solutions with full

confidence in its end-to-end integrity”.

CommuniCloud’s global headquarters is located

in New South Wales, Australia. It opened its UK

and Ireland office in April 2020 and has gone from

strength to strength delivering key communications

tools to the health sector to support their fight

against the global pandemic. Communicloud has

a track record of partnering with best of breed

providers of collaboration and security services

such as BT, Cisco, Poly, Ava Networks and the

introduction of RealWear into the portfolio

compliments an already impressive stable of

products from the world’s leading providers.
