Excel Networking offers a vast range of products that have been designed specifically with data centre spaces in mind

Excel Networking Solutions, the copper and optical cabling infrastructure provider, is excited to announce that they will be exhibiting at this year’s Data Centre World exhibition in Paris, France this November.

Data Centre World, the largest exhibition dedicated to data centre experts, will be held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles on 15th and 16th November 2023. Visitors will be able to discover the latest technologies and the power of digital transformation in the sphere of the data centre industry, with opportunities to explore the innovative solutions available to maximise the potential of a data centre installation.

A typical data centre installation has extensive requirements for seamless high-density design, high speed connectivity and infrastructure security. Excel Networking offers a vast range of products that have been designed specifically with data centre spaces in mind, with choices across the copper, fibre, racks, power and containment product lines, all of which will be showcased at stand G100 throughout the exhibition.

Speaking about the event, Hinda Mourali, Excel Networking’s Sales Manager for France commented, “We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase the Excel portfolio at this year’s Data Centre World. Our team of specialists will be available throughout the two days to present our range of products, including an exciting range of new Environ racks.”

Excel Networking are planning to expand their comprehensive range of Environ racks and cabinets. The Data Centre Rack (DCR Series) will be officially launched in Q1 2024. The chassis of this rack is based on the successful Server Rack Series and will offer several key features that will make them ideal for Data Centre applications. The rack will be available in 42U, 47U and 52U heights, and will be the showcase of the Excel stand at Data Centre World, loaded with a full suite of Excel’s copper and optical fibre patching solutions.

Hinda continued, “The Excel brand launched in 1997 and since then has enjoyed formidable growth across the world, now available in over 80 countries with 21% market share in the UK. Excel introduced their plastic free packaging in 2019 as part of a wider sustainability effort, demonstrating their industry-leading mindset and environmentally conscious ethos alongside their phenomenal growth.”

Hinda concluded, “We hope to see many of you at our stand during the exhibition, and we look forward to discussing your upcoming projects with you to see how Excel’s complete, trusted solution could help.”

Cutting Edge Bluetooth Becomes More Accessible Than Ever

“This difference makes using the adapter easy even for someone with lower vision, motor skills, or technical know-how.”

Bluetooth is hardly a surprising topic in the tech sphere. Everything from your phone to your doorbell can have some sort of Bluetooth integration. 

These devices often rely on integrated Bluetooth chips which are fixed for that device, increase the price and are entirely inflexible (Fore example, you can’t remove your 'phone's Bluetooth chip and decide to use it for a different bit of kit).

August International, a UK-Based technology company which have been facilitating innovative collaborations across the UK, have dedicated a range of updated products to the idea of high-end Bluetooth that you can really make entirely your very own.

The newest upgrade to the popular MR250 and MR260 adapters sees Bluetooth 5.2 chips used as well as USB-C Charging cable implementation. This adds both high quality and accessibility to an already compact and simple device to create adapters which are the pinnacle of practicality.

The MR250 is a dedicated Bluetooth transmitter (the type you use to add Bluetooth to your TV) while the MR260 is a dual-mode transmitter receiver which can switch between the two options. Make sure you understand which adapter type is right for you by reading the examples below!

High End Bluetooth You Can Use Anywhere

Bluetooth 5.2 is a high-end version of the age-old technology which reinvigorates devices with under 40ms of latency. This low latency makes controls responsive and smooth while also ensuring that the adapters can be used for watching TV, playing games and watching DVDs. 

Audio-visual media will be synched up thanks to this upgrade, which makes the tiny boxes even more applicable to day-to-day life. Private audio wirelessly is a godsend for parents staying up after their kids or kids stuck in the back seat from parents!

“It’s the simplicity of the controls and connection that really make the MR range standout for accessibility.”

Long Battery Life for Road Trips

The USB-C Charging upgrade is also quite welcoming for new users, as many of us will already be familiar with USB-C and know the fast-charging speeds it provides. Efficient charging leads to efficient battery use, and the MR250 and MR260 can now last 10 hours of use even with the added power of Bluetooth 5.2.

Connect All Your Audio Devices Easily

The third and final pillar of these adapters is the cable connection. By using a universally accepted 3.5mm cable in/out port the entire range of adapters can be seamlessly connected to TVs, Phones (Excluding iPhone), Car Stereos and Headphones / Earphones. August also thought to include a 3.5mm to RCA Splitter cable as standard which is fantastic for audiophiles wanting their dedicated stereo devices to stay authentic when used wirelessly.

How does such easy access to advanced Bluetooth adapters change our day-to-day in an already interconnected world? Well, here are some examples…

Bluetooth Receiver Mode -

Hijacking my friend’s car stereo with the Bluetooth car adapter to play anything from my phone, like Spotify, rather than just radio (This also gives direct playback without needing specific car-brand apps taking up space on your phone)

Adding Bluetooth reception to my parents Hifi system that they are very proud of, so now they can control music remotely without fiddly knobs and dials

Bluetooth Transmitter Mode -

Playing the aforementioned parent’s vinyl player through wireless earphones so they can listen at night without disturbing neighbours

Connecting my non-Bluetooth non-Smart TV to my Bluetooth PC headset so I can stay up late in peace

Upgrading a radio or CD player to use a beefy Bluetooth speaker with subwoofer and stereo audio, avoiding the tinny sound of integrated speakers

The range of application is huge, and everyone will find different possibilities. August have even discovered that metal detecting is a popular use for the adapters! The low latency and connection quality ensure detection beeps happen exactly when they should, and more easily identify dig spots.

Smarter Innovation without "Smart" Technology

It’s the simplicity of the controls and connection that really make the MR range standout for accessibility. Not only are they cheap for the advanced tech, but the frontal button to connect a device is on a different side to the mode switch, which itself isn’t a button at all but a ridged slider. This difference makes using the adapter easy even for someone with lower vision, motor skills, or technical know-how.

The August MR250 and MR260 upgraded Bluetooth Transmitters and Receivers are available from Amazon, retailing at £24.95. More information can be found on the manufacturer’s website.

August International (www.augustint.com) is a UK-based international company that leads the research, development and supply of consumer electronic products with the latest technology and most advanced features. The company specializes in the development of wireless, smart audio and video signal receivers, decoders, streaming and display devices and wearable electronic products.
