microsoft reveals windows collaboration displays, iot core services and partner community - interactive digital whiteboard
At the Computex 2018 conference in Taipei, Microsoft announced the new category of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT)services.
At the event site, Microsoft also detailed how smart cloud and Smart Edge will drive innovation and created a wide portfolio of devices, whether it's a thermostat in a smart home or an interactive display in a smart home, will be integrated into the consumer office.
"It's not just screens and devices for Microsoft;
Nick Parker, vice president of consumer and device sales at Microsoft, said in a statement: "This is about creating service and technical experience that supports ambition and aspirations . ".
"Imagine the devices and experiences we can create through ubiquitous computing, injecting artificial intelligence and connecting to the cloud.
This is an incredible moment for the industry.
"The new category of smart devices launched by new hardware Microsoft is Windows collaboration display.
The new Windows collaboration display is big
The size of the equipment, which is ideal for the board.
Microsoft 365 collaboration tools, Office, teams, and whiteboards are supported for Windows collaboration monitors.
The Windows collaboration display looks similar to the Surface Hub and Surface Hub 2 digital whiteboard devices.
Microsoft announced Surface Hub 2 last month and plans to launch it sometime next year.

TechCrunch also noted that sensors in the windows collaboration display take advantage of Azure IoT space intelligence.
This means that it uses room measurements to build an adaptive model.
Microsoft says its new Azure IoT space intelligence feature "enables this modeling to further drive connected devices in the IoT world.
For example, in an office environment, space intelligence can better manage heating, cooling and rooms
Reservation system based on the actual use of space.
"The Windows collaboration display device that was downgraded in Computex is 70-
Sharp's inch Windows collaboration display.
Later this year, both sharp and avocado will sell a variety of collaborative displays.
However, the exact price and availability are not yet known.
Windows 10 IoT Core Service Windows 10 IoT Core is a version of Windows 10, designed to build smart devices and optimized for smart edge devices.
Companies like Johnson Controls, Askey and Misty Robotics have already adopted the technology.
The newly released Windows IoT Core service enables partners to commercialize secure IoT devices.
The Windows 10 IoT Core service is a paid service for IoT devices.
It is worth mentioning that the free version of Windows 10 IoT Core can still be passed by halfChannel of year (SAC).
Microsoft cited three major advantages of Windows IoT core services.
This includes 10 years of long-term support for Windows operating systems through Windows
Regular service channels (LTSC)
, Update control using the device Update Center (DUC)
Certificate of equipment health (DHA). With the 10-
The Windows operating system is supported for one year and it ensures high quality updates to keep the device safe and up to date.
Devices that use the LTSC version will not receive a feature update.
This helps the device to focus on stability by minimizing changes to the basic operating system.
Typically, Microsoft offers a new LTSC version every two to three years, each with 10-year lifecycle.
Update control and newly announced equipment Update Center (DUC)
Provides the ability to create and customize device updates.
Updates are distributed by the same content distribution network (CDN)
Update with Windows.
Updates can be applied to operating systems, device drivers, and OEM-specific files.
In addition, updates can be sent to test devices before a wider distribution.
Certificate of equipment health (DHA)
Allows Enterprise and OEMs to enhance the security of their organizations through hardware
Proof of safety.
DHA evaluates the credibility of the device at startup.
DHA services are able to assess device health and can be combined with device management systems such as Azure IoT device management.
From there, users can take actions such as denying network access, creating service tickets, and re-accessing

New IoT partner community new smart edge partner community enables partners to connect with each other in order to discover opportunities, collaborate on technological innovation and share business goals in the forumlike setting.
In addition, community members will be able to attend training sessions, community events, and participate in the early adop program by accessing operating system build, specs, documentation, and certification details.

Through this move, Microsoft says it aims to empower "every customer to change their business and the world through connected solutions.
In today's connected world, digital communication is no longer limited to indoor environments. From retail storefronts and transportation hubs to smart cities and hospitality venues, businesses are increasingly relying on outdoor digital displays to engage audiences, deliver real-time information, and strengthen brand visibility.
However, outdoor environments present unique challenges that conventional displays simply cannot withstand. Rain, dust, humidity, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight can significantly reduce performance and lifespan.
This is where IP66-rated outdoor digital displays make the difference.
Education has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade. Traditional teaching methods that relied solely on blackboards, projectors, and paper materials are rapidly being replaced by interactive, technology-driven learning environments.
Schools, universities, training centers, and educational institutions worldwide are investing in smart classroom solutions that improve engagement, collaboration, and learning outcomes. Among these innovations, the Digital Podium has emerged as one of the most important pieces of classroom technology.
A Digital Podium is no longer simply a lectern for holding notes. It has evolved into a powerful teaching workstation that integrates computing, touch interaction, multimedia control, device management, and classroom collaboration into a single platform.
As hybrid learning, distance education, and smart campus initiatives continue to expand, digital podiums are becoming an essential component of modern educational infrastructure.
In today’s fast-moving business environment, traditional posters and static displays are no longer enough to capture customer attention. Businesses are increasingly turning to indoor digital signage displays to improve communication, promote products, and create more engaging customer experiences.
From retail stores and shopping malls to corporate offices, restaurants, schools, hotels, and healthcare facilities, indoor digital signage has become an essential solution for delivering dynamic content in real time.
At ITATOUCH, we provide high-brightness indoor digital signage displays with customizable hardware and software options, helping partners and businesses create tailored digital communication solutions.
Introduction: Why Traditional Interactive Displays Are No Longer Enough
As smart classrooms and hybrid workplaces continue to evolve, many organizations are facing a common challenge: traditional interactive displays can no longer meet the growing demand for visual clarity, intelligent collaboration, and long-term performance.
In education, teachers need smoother writing experiences, better visibility in bright classrooms, and seamless hybrid teaching tools. In corporate environments, businesses require professional video conferencing, high-quality presentations, and reliable systems for efficient collaboration.
This is where the next generation of premium QLED interactive flat panels makes a significant difference.
With innovations such as QLED Local Dimming technology, 4K UHD display, AI camera systems, optical bonding, and flagship-level processing power, modern interactive flat panels are becoming more than just displays—they are transforming into complete smart collaboration hubs.
In today’s competitive retail environment, attracting customers starts before they even enter your store. A high brightness window display is one of the most effective tools for increasing foot traffic, promoting products, and enhancing brand visibility in shopping malls, retail stores, restaurants, beauty salons, banks, and commercial spaces.
Unlike standard screens that appear dim under strong ambient light, ultra high brightness window displays are specifically designed for storefront applications, delivering vivid visuals and clear advertising content even in direct sunlight.
