We're proud to distribute HP Poly, a portfolio that brings together technology designed for modern work alongside HP's broader focus on circularity, energy efficiency and responsible product design.

But what does that mean for customers?

Sustainability can influence more than environmental impact. It can also shape how organisations think about:

- Product lifespan
- Repair and maintenance
- Energy consumption
- Responsible materials
- Reuse and recovery
- Total technology lifecycle

HP's sustainability approach includes designing products with circularity in mind, supporting product life extension and enabling recovery and recycling at end of use.

For businesses, the goal isn't simply to buy “greener” technology.

It's about making technology investments that can deliver value throughout their lifecycle - while supporting broader sustainability and responsible procurement objectives.

For our partners, that means sustainability can become part of the solution conversation, alongside performance, reliability, security and cost.

We're proud to have HP Poly as part of our portfolio and to help our partners build connected workplace solutions with a wider view of the technology lifecycle.

Lenovo was recognised in 2026 as a SERI Champion of Electronics Sustainability for its work in responsible electronics reuse, recycling and circularity.

So what does that mean for customers?

It means sustainability is being considered beyond the initial purchase - from how technology is managed and recovered to how products and materials can be reused rather than simply discarded.

Lenovo's use of the R2v3 standard across certified manufacturing and recovery operations supports responsible electronics processing, with a focus on reuse, material recovery, environmental impact and data security.

For organisations investing in technology at scale, these considerations can support more responsible asset management and help extend the value of technology beyond its first deployment.

For our partners, it adds another dimension to the technology conversation: performance matters, but so does the lifecycle behind the investment.

We're proud to have Lenovo as part of our portfolio and to support our partners with technology solutions backed by a broader approach to responsible technology management.

What does a modern collaboration environment look like for South African businesses?

That was at the heart of Yealink’s recent “One-Stop Solution. One Vendor. More Possibilities” webinar, hosted for our partner community.

The objective was to give partners a broader view of Yealink’s collaboration portfolio and, more importantly, show how these solutions can be positioned to address different customer requirements across the South African market.

From personal devices and standard meeting rooms to AV ONE, Meeting Displays and YMCS, the session explored how partners can build more complete solutions around their customers’ evolving workplace needs.

The key outcome? Partners gained greater insight into Yealink’s portfolio, practical solution knowledge and new ways to identify opportunities, strengthen customer conversations and position the right technology for each environment.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥?

That’s the question Logitech is answering with one of its biggest enterprise launches yet - unveiled in Cairo, where Kathea Communications was there to experience what’s coming next.

Kathea Communications was proud to attend 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 2026 - 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐌𝐄𝐀 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 , held in Cairo from 6–9 October, bringing together Logitech’s channel partners from across the Middle East and Africa for strategy, innovation, collaboration, networking and a first look at what’s next.

And this is much bigger than one new device.

Logitech is introducing a new generation of collaboration technology - from the all-new Rally Bar 2 and Rally System 2 Pro to Rally AI Camera Pro, Rally Speaker 2, Tap IP 2, Tap Scheduler 2 and its new Sound Shape audio technology.

-Think smarter rooms.
-More intelligent video.
-More immersive audio.
-More flexible AV.
-And solutions designed to scale from everyday meeting rooms to large boardrooms, training spaces and complex, divisible environments.

What makes it even more exciting? These solutions are designed to work across the platforms businesses already rely on - including Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet.

And Sound Shape is particularly interesting: Logitech is rethinking how audio can work in larger spaces, using highly focused sound to create more controlled audio experiences without relying on traditional, complex ceiling-speaker installations.

This is Logitech moving beyond the traditional meeting room and deeper into the world of intelligent, scalable Pro AV.

A standout moment of RISE was the Logitech Gen 2 Launch at the Grand Egyptian Museum - bringing together innovation, technology and an incredible setting to showcase where Logitech is taking workplace collaboration next.

And this is where it gets exciting for South Africa. 🇿🇦

As a Logitech Distributor, Kathea Communications is getting ahead of what’s next - understanding the technology, exploring the opportunities and preparing to bring these new solutions to the South African market.

For businesses, IT teams and AV professionals, this means more ways to rethink how people connect, collaborate and experience the workplace.

The next generation of collaboration is taking shape.

We’ve seen it in Cairo.

Now, we’re looking forward to bringing it home.

In its FY26 Impact Highlights Report, Logitech reported:

🌱 33% reduction in Scope 3 emissions
♻️ 81% of Logitech products manufactured with post-consumer recycled plastics
🔧 69 product lines supported with spare parts and repair guides
📦 2,500 tonnes of packaging material removed over three years

Logitech's Design for Sustainability approach considers how products are designed, manufactured, used, repaired and ultimately managed at end of life.

For customers, that means sustainability can become part of a broader technology decision -alongside performance, reliability, usability and lifecycle value.

For partners, it creates another important conversation when helping customers specify collaboration technology: not just “Does it work?” but “How responsibly is it designed and supported throughout its lifecycle?”

We're proud to have Logitech as part of the Kathea portfolio and to give our partners access to collaboration solutions from a manufacturer that is putting measurable sustainability goals into practice.
