PC Locs to launch new mobile device management solutions at the Future Schools Expo.

Sydney, NSW – 11 March 2015 – PC Locs, physical mobile device management specialists, has announced four new products that can sync, charge, store, secure and transport just about any device, including Chromebooks, Macbooks, iPads and other Tablet devices. The new products being launched are; Carrier 10 Charging Station™, Carrier 20 Cart™, iQ 10 Charging Station™ and iQ 10 Sync Charge Station™, all of which incorporate Baskets by PC Locs. 

PC Locs’ goal is to provide the Australian education sector with purpose built Carts and Charging Stations, which enhance the usability of the devices in a classroom setting. They do this by incorporating Baskets by PC Locs. The Baskets allow teachers to distribute the devices into Student’s hands faster and safer, leaving more time to teach and interact with the devices.

“We identified that there was a lot of teaching time wasted during the process of distributing and retrieving the devices. The Baskets allow both students and teachers to hand out Baskets a lot faster compared to the tradition front loading, cabinet style cart”, said James Symons – CEO of PC Locs.

Incorporating Baskets by PC Locs means that the Tablet Cart and Charging Station are no longer limited to one location. They can go where other can’t, allowing users to safely carry and share the devices between multiple classrooms or up a flight of stairs.

The Carrier 10 Charging Station and Carrier 20 Cart is a response to the growing popularity of Chromebooks, and Tablets in the education sector. It’s designed to store, charge, secure and transport almost anything – from a small Tablet, with or without cases, all the way up to a 13” Chromebook and Macbook. It does this with the new larger Basket by PC Locs. The larger Basket offers the compatibility of accommodatinglarger devices, and the ability to distribute five devices at the same time.

For larger devices, PC Locs offers Stainless Steel Devices Racks to replace the Baskets in the Carrier Range of products. As an introductory offer, the Carrier 10 Charge Station ships with the Device Rack free of charge, whilst it’s an added fee for the Carrier Carts.

The new iQ 10 Charging Station and iQ 10 Sync Charge Station are specifically designed for Tablets devices with USB connectivity – iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab and others. 2.4 amp powered USB charging means that it will efficiently charge devices at the optimal rate whilst the syncing functionality on the iQ 10 Sync Charge Station is engineered to communicate with syncing software such as Apple configurator. The iQ 10 Sync Charge Station also feature LED status indicators so that you know when the devices are charging, syncing, charged and more.

A key new feature you’ll notice immediately with the iQ 10 Stations is how small and compact the units are. They are designed to be mounted onto a wall or any other flat surface, such as a desk or bench.

PC Locs prides itself on building innovative, high quality and functional products that are specifically designed to make life easier for educators. Each product comes with a lifetime warranty.

According to Patrick Noonan, General Manager at PC Locs, the new products represents a significant step for the company as it expands its product range.

“PC Locs products are designed with the user in mind. Whether it be an IT Manager in charge of the devices, the School Teacher or a Student, we identify problems and do our best to solve them to make their lives easier.” Patrick Noonan said.

About PC Locs

PC Locs’s primary purpose and reason for existing is to make life easier. Our vision is “to be globally recognised as the most innovative and trusted brand, in developing solutions for managing deployments of mobile technology”.

PC Locs is a privately owned, multi-national company that is solving the growing problem of physically managing the deployment of Tablets, iPads, Chromebooks Laptops and others.

PC Locs global headquarters is based in Perth, Western Australia with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Malaysia, USA and the UK. Fifteen years ago, PC Locs began operating out of a backyard shed – at the home of Mr Paul Symons, now co-owner, director and product designer for the global company. Paul was a school teacher who identified a need in the market after seeing hundreds of computers being stolen on a weekly basis within his hometown Perth, Western Australia. Paul designed and developed a solution for securing desktop computers, which went on to have a radical impact on reducing computer theft throughout Australia. In 2001, Paul was approached to develop a solution to store, charge, secure and transport laptop computers in schools. This led to a decade of product development, and the distribution of innovatively designed carts for managing technology in Australian Schools.

 

Mobile technology is deployed for a reason. It is used to teach, to train, to inform, to enable and to entertain. To be effective, and to serve its intended purpose, the technology must be fully operational and accessible at all times. PC Locs exists to make life easier for the users of the technology by creating solutions that ensure accessibility and usability of the technology at any time.
