These updates are integral to the platform’s success. And we’ve been developing a bunch of new audio-over-IP solutions that we’re integrating into the platform with 4.1.”
Speaking about the latest audio edge upgrades, Oster said: “These are great new ways to bring ‘entertainment everywhere’ to any installation”."
Working from Home in 2024
Where have we got to in terms of demand for work-from-home opportunities? Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, perceptions have changed dramatically.
Before the pandemic, only 4.7 percent of UK employees were working from home, according to WISERD.
Over a year into the pandemic, however, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that the figure had grown to 46.6 percent, with 86 percent of these attributing their change in the workplace to the pandemic.
