Making classrooms quieter – Acousti Products supporting RTS at BETT
As you may know we are exhibiting at the BETT show in January next year (http://www.rts-tech.co.uk/2009/09/01/were-off-to-bett/). We are lucky enough to be supported by our friends from Acousti Products. www.acoustiproducts.com
Acousti provide industry-leading noise reduction solutions, helping to remove server and other IT equipment noise from schools.
We have been using Acousti’s products for years and are keen to demonstrate their effectiveness to a wider audience at BETT. The cabinets we’ll be showcasing are incredibly effective in education environments where students can have their concentration adversely affected or be distracted by the noise of IT equipment.
The clever design of the racks allows equipment to be placed directly in classrooms without disturbing staff and students or negatively impacting the longevity of the hardware.
Acousti will be joining us for Thursday and Friday of the exhibition, on-hand to demonstrate how Quiet Racks can improve learning environments in your school. Don’t worry if you’re attending on Wednesday or Saturday though, the racks will still be there and as certified Acousti resellers RTS have attended the necessary training sessions to talk knowledgeably about the whole Acousti range.
Come see RTS Technology Solutions and Acousti Products at BETT and discover why we’re proud that our stand will be the quietest at the show!
RTS receives a generous ‘Thank You’ (again)
Another happy client sent us a letter of thanks recently. A few months ago the St. John nursing home in Kent asked us to provide a new Audio Visual system and wireless networking infrastructure in order to improve the entertainment and communications provision for the residents.
Mrs J Mitchell, the matron, kindly wrote to us with feedback from the home.
“I wanted to say how very impressed I and my staff were with the way you and your staff conducted yourselves whilst working in the Home. Often it’s difficult to get people coming into the Home to appreciate that this is a Home and not an institution, and this seems to affect the quality of the work done and the care taken doing it.”
We always try to be considerate of our clients so the team was very happy to hear this. We are also considerate of our clients’ environments – much of the success of our solutions is owed to the care taken to fit the equipment with the surroundings.
“I am delighted with the way the installation of the TV and wireless connection has been done and the careful attention that you all gave to hiding all the wires etc away from view.”
Thank you Mrs Mitchell for your kind words, it’s always great to hear that our clients are enjoying their solutions.
The letter is duplicated below with the kind permission of Mrs Mitchell.
Ofcom – 60 per cent of British children use the net unsupervised
Research published this month by Ofcom reveals that 60 per cent of 12-15 year olds use the internet mostly unsupervised, as do 35 per cent of 8-11 year olds. The report also suggests that children are starting to use the internet at a younger age, with numbers of internet users in the 5-7 age group increasing.
Growing numbers of children have internet access in their own bedrooms. One-third of those between 12 and 15 years of age, one in six in the 8-11 age group and 3 per cent of 5-7 years olds have such access.
Many children play video games. Three quarters of 12-15 year olds have a games console in their rooms. When asked who they normally play with, one in seven 12-15 year olds reported that they play with people over the internet.
Such findings highlight the importance of educating our children about the dangers of internet use.
