<p><span lang="en-GB">CANBERRA: It’s a bit over 14 months away, but the Australian Bureau of Statistics is spreading the word ahead of Australia’s next census.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="en-GB">The census, which will be held on August 10, 2021 – a Tuesday, incidentally – will be the first since August 2016. It will measure the number of people in Australia and what Stats says are their key characteristics.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="en-GB">The 2016 census was something of a disaster for the Government, with the event overwhelmed by denial-of-service attacks and software failures. </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="en-GB">That saw the census-day service shut down and brought back a day later. Presumably the attackers may try again this year, but should face a better-prepared operation.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="en-GB">There will be a number of other changes from the 2016 shemozzle. For instance, there will be new questions on health conditions, and the Australian Defence Force will attend. </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="en-GB">Unlike 2016, questions on Internet access in households will not be asked, given the increased mobile Internet usage on personal devices outside the home, Stats adds.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="en-GB">Other changes will allow the census to collect data on long-term health conditions, such as arthritis and diabetes. </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span lang="en-GB">And information about Australian Defence Service veterans will hopefully provide a better understanding of the circumstances of Australia’s veteran community.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The National Broadband Network Co (NBN Co) is urging Australians to remain “extra vigilant” with their online security amid the coronavirus pandemic, following a &#8220;marked increase&#8221; in scammers trying to steal personal details and commit online fraud  &#8211; heightened by work-from-home conditions.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-146430 size-small-grid-size" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/nbn_co_2_1-400x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>The NBN co warns scammers are trying to mislead people by informing them their service will be disconnected should they not provide a ‘technician’ online access to their computer.</p>
<p>Security concerns have become heightened as more Australians work-from-home amid the COVID19 pandemic, many on company laptops/PCs.</p>
<p>It joins a variety of other phishing emails and online attempts.</p>
<p>“With scammers increasing their efforts to use COVID-19 to steal people’s personal or financial details, we are starting to see the emergence [of] <b>nbn</b> related COVID-19 scams, so we are working with agencies like Scamwatch to continue to monitor the situation and alert the community,” states NBN Co Chief Security Officer, Darren Kane.</p>
<p>“We want to remind everyone to never give an unsolicited caller remote access to your computer or devices via the installation of programs such as Team Viewer or share any financial information or personal details with someone they don’t know.”</p>
<p>Mr Kane has urged Australian businesses and staff to not get complacence with the security of their work devices and documents despite the complacency which can emerge from working-from-home.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-149275 size-small-grid-size" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/security-400x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>“It is important to not click on the links or attachments in suspicious emails and never respond to unsolicited messages.,” Kane adds.</p>
<p>“This is even more important for all of us that are working from home, as scammers are on the hunt for ways to get access and disrupt home and corporate networks.”</p>
<p>The NBN Co is advising Australians to not leave their work laptop or devices unattended or in ‘unsecured areas’, and prevent family members from using them for personal use. The agency warns it runs the risk of work devices being accidentally inflected.</p>
<p>Australians are also being advised to heighten their home network security, and change the default administrators password on their home router.</p>
<p>Further information on how Australians can protect against online scammers during coronavirus is available on the NBN Co’s website <a href="http://www.nbn.com.au/scamadvice">here</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BlueParrott is a fairly new entry to the Australian headphone market and their affordable premium enterprise noise cancelling range is now opening up new markets enterprise and B2b markets for the GN Group.</p>
<p>The Company was acquired by the GN Group back in 2016, they also own top-end headphone brand Jabra, since the acquisition the BlueParrott range of headphones which are specifically designed for loud noise environments where people want crystal clear communication has been upgraded with a new range recently released in Australia.</p>
<p>Classic users are truck and crane drivers, warehouse staff and manufacturing staff who work in noisy environments and need clear communication when driving or walking around a noisy warehouse or factory.1</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-116848" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/B450-XT_Hero_2000x720_Lifestyle_100716-1024x369.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/B450-XT_Hero_2000x720_Lifestyle_100716.jpg 1024w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/B450-XT_Hero_2000x720_Lifestyle_100716-300x108.jpg 300w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/B450-XT_Hero_2000x720_Lifestyle_100716-768x276.jpg 768w" alt="" width="960" height="346" /></p>
<p>The BlueParrott are not your normal Bluetooth headphones, they are intelligent, noise-cancelling audio devices that come in multiple forms.</p>
<p>They incorporate cutting edge noise-cancelling technology that is designed to deliver superior call quality due to a processor that is designed to take out industrial background noise.</p>
<p>In the USA where the BlueParrott range has been on sale for several years over 3 million professionals use the BlueParrott headsets.</p>
<p>This includes 6 out of 10 commercial drivers across both independent or small fleet drivers.</p>
<p>It’s also highly popular with emergency service and utility personnel who could well be up a pole fixing electricity lines.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-116850" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott.jpg 887w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott-768x513.jpg 768w" alt="" width="887" height="592" /></p>
<p>The new designs allow users to choose a wearing style and fit that gives them all-day comfort. They can also be customised to the individual using the upgraded Parrott Button.</p>
<p>Another key feature is the VoiceControl feature that delivers hands-free access to a wide range of services.</p>
<p>Multipoint Pairing means teams can seamlessly switch between two simultaneously connected devices, helping them stay productive and ensuring calls aren’t interrupted.</p>
<p>Teams can stream audio and navigation directions from any Bluetooth device and enjoy more than 24 hours talk time and Micro-USB charging to keep the conversation going.</p>
<p>The GN Group is made up of GN Hearing with the flagship hearing aid brand ReSound and GN Audio with the flagship brand Jabra, and now also including the VXi and BlueParrott brands.</p>
<p>The marriage of multiple research and development skills has allowed GN Audio to enter a market with a superior commercial headphone brand that delivers for both large enterprise organisations and small business running warehouse or manufacturing operations were hearing a call is difficult” Said Sid Rashid Asia Pacific Marketing Manager.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-116847" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4.png" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4.png 800w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-150x150.png 150w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-300x300.png 300w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-768x768.png 768w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-400x400.png 400w" alt="" width="800" height="800" /></p>

<p>Users can talk throughout the day even when doing long shifts, you also get up to 13 days of standby time.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new D-Link high powered Covr seamless wi-fi mesh network router sets a new standard for home networking not just because of its performance it’s also a stylish piece of kit which retailers should find easy to sell to home conscious consumers.</p>
<p>What’s a critical investment for any home today is networking. It’s what delivers better and faster information to a mobile or tablet, superior picture quality to a TV while allowing multiple connections and faster streaming of content from the likes of Spotify, Apple Music or Google.</p>
<p>The tri-band D-Link Covr-2202 – which can provide consistent whole home wi-fi coverage, for example if you are investing in the new Foxtel 4K real time sport channel and the related 4K content you will need a new 4K TV.</p>
<p>But if you combine this with a new mesh network router such as the new D-Link Covr-2202 who will get the best of both worlds. 4K real time Foxtel sports content delivered over a fast Satellite feed and other networked content streamed to your TV.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox" title="New D Link Network Kit Powerful &amp; Stylish" href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/598_Covr_2202_box-D-Link.png" data-rel="fancybox"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-108182 aligncenter" title="New D Link Network Kit Powerful &amp; Stylish" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/598_Covr_2202_box-D-Link.png" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/598_Covr_2202_box-D-Link.png 600w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/598_Covr_2202_box-D-Link-150x150.png 150w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/598_Covr_2202_box-D-Link-300x300.png 300w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/598_Covr_2202_box-D-Link-400x400.png 400w" alt="598 Covr 2202 box D Link New D Link Network Kit Powerful &amp; Stylish" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>The new Covr-2202 is a follow-up to the recently launched Covr-C1203 dual band wi-fi mesh system and is also a scalable solution which in the future will allow you to use the extenders from both D-Link devices to extend the Wi Fi reach in your home.</p>
<p>The latest Covr-2202 is comprised of two taller units which can deliver blanket wireless coverage to an entire home.</p>
<p>This new tri-band AC2200 system features a dedicated 5Ghz smart backhaul which means there are two bands connecting to devices in your home and the third band connecting back to the router and satellite units rather than crowding the other two bands and slowing you down.</p>
<p>The inclusion of Smart Steering technology automatically directs devices to the optimal wireless band while Smart Roaming connects users to the strongest signal as people connected to the D-Link network move around their home.</p>

<p>The Covr-2202 system also includes MU-MIMO (multiple user – multiple input multiple output) technology for an even faster and more efficient wireless network.</p>
<p>The two Covr units have six built in vertical and horizontal antennas that optimises the connectivity between points.</p>
<p>Also onboard are two Gigabit Ethernet ports to also provide high-speed wired connectivity.</p>
<p>The D-Link Covr-2202, which won a CES Innovation Honouree Award earlier this year, is available now and is priced at $499.95 ($NZ549).</p>
<p>The Covr-C1203 is priced at $399.99 ($NZ449).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BlackBerry is reportedly in talks with Amazon to launch an enterprise-grade Alexa device for commercial usage.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/amazon-echo-alexa.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-75250 size-medium" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/amazon-echo-alexa-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>As per <em><a href="https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/blackberry-is-working-with-amazon-on-an-alexa-device-for-the-enterprise/409669">ITWorldCanada</a>, </em>BlackBerry Chief Technology Officer, Charles Eagan, confirms the companies are building a &#8220;BlackBerry Alexa&#8221; enterprise device, for release in Q1 next year.</p>
<p>BlackBerry CEO, John Chen, asserts voice control will become a focal point in both the consumer and enterprise world:</p>
<p>“We believe the world is going to come together with enterprise and consumer. These devices that sit in your home could become the front point of a workflow engine.”</p>
<p>The forthcoming &#8216;BlackBerry Alexa&#8217; device will reportedly integrate some of BlackBerry&#8217;s security expertise &#8211; e.g. alerting administrators when connections change, or an unknown connection is detected.</p>
<p>“Some of this grown-up behaviour is needed as you bring consumer devices into the enterprise,&#8221; asserts Mr Eagan.</p>
<p>Some sources state the rumoured device will also include &#8220;multi-factor authentication&#8221;, though it&#8217;s unclear what exactly this entails.</p>
<p>As previously reported, in November last year Amazon announced its &#8216;Alexa for Business&#8217; managed service arsenal, enabling businesses to streamline certain processes via voice controls.</p>
<p>Amazon is <a href="https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/blackberry-is-working-with-amazon-on-an-alexa-device-for-the-enterprise/409669">reportedly</a> also amidst discussions with Cisco Systems and Polycom for a range of conference-room solutions &#8211; furthering its &#8216;Alexa&#8217; hardware push into commercial environments.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Australia led the world in the total power of solar-powered storage batteries in 2017, according to the nation&#8217;s chief scientist Alan Finkel.</p>
<p>Finkel bases his claim on a report by Greentech Media, a US-based company that generates daily reports and market research on electricity systems and green technology.</p>
<p>The report estimates the combined power of batteries installed by Australia&#8217;s 1.8 million solar rooftop homes and businesses and grid batteries was 246 milliwatts (MW).</p>
<p>That compares with a total of about 200MW by each of the USA and Germany.</p>
<p>Given the falling price of batteries and the number of existing rooftop solar collectors – thought to be more than 1.8 million – Finkel believes many more homes will purchase batteries in coming years.</p>
<p>One consultancy has estimated that  the number of residential battery installations in Australia is set to  jump by nearly 60 percent, or 33,000, this year, lifting the installed base to about 61,000.</p>
<p>Installations are said to have tripled last year to 20,800.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Audio electronics manufacturer, Plantronics, has today closed its $2 billion acquisition of Polycom &#8211; a deal set to significantly expand its Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) ecosystem.</p>
<p>Plantronics CEO, Joe Burton, affirms the acquisition will facilitate the development of one of the broadest portfolios of UCC endpoints.</p>
<p>Plantronics expects Polycom&#8217;s acquisition to be immediately accretive to Non-GAAP earnings per share, asserting it can achieve annual run-rate cost synergies of $75 million in 12 months.</p>
<p>The audio company is reportedly focused on building video and voice cloud solutions for office environments.</p>

<p>Tony Simonsen, Polycom VP ANZ, Japan &amp; Korea, asserts the &#8220;new Plantronics&#8221; is better positioned to address &#8220;business productivity&#8221; and lift the &#8220;overall quality of communications and collaboration.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Together as one company, with teams in Australia and New Zealand and throughout the world, we will continue to put people’s needs at the center and boost the power of communications and collaboration,&#8221; he adds.</p>

<p>&#8220;I don’t know anyone else that can say that – that they have that whole portfolio.”</p>
<p>Plantronics today completed financing via $1.275 billion term loan priced at LIBOR plus 250 bps, maturing in July 2025.</p>
<p>Polycom was acquired for $2.0 billion, with total consideration consisting of around $1.63 billion cash and 6.35 million Plantronics shares.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a demonstration of Australian innovation, Telstra has inked a world-first partnership with Microsoft, enabling consumers to make voice calls inside Office 365.</p>
<p>The new ‘Telstra Calling for Office 365’ is set to launch in mid-2018, and will be bundled into several MS Office programs, with the addition of Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams.</p>
<p>Just last week, Microsoft revealed 200,000 organisations are using ‘Teams’, up from 125,000 six months ago.</p>
<p>The product will enable Telstra to further expand into corporate and business segments, with many retiring PABX telephone systems.</p>
<p>The partnership is heralded the first of its kind between Microsoft and any global telco.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Telstra.jpg" data-rel="fancybox"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-58505 aligncenter" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Telstra.jpg" alt="" width="704" height="396" srcset="https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Telstra.jpg 704w, https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Telstra-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px" /></a></p>
<p>Telstra Executive Director of Global Products, Michelle Bendschneider, <a href="http://www.afr.com/technology/telstra-signs-world-first-microsoft-deal-to-offer-phone-calls-in-office-365-20180315-h0xiyt">affirms</a> the new service follows several years of relationship building between the telco and Microsoft.</p>
<p>The new calling service will be sold as a standalone offering, and Bendschneider <a href="http://www.afr.com/technology/telstra-signs-world-first-microsoft-deal-to-offer-phone-calls-in-office-365-20180315-h0xiyt">claims</a> it’s one of Telstra’s most significant product launches this year:</p>
<p>“Launching a product like this caters for, not just the large enterprises, but more importantly the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Australian organisations that will need to re-plumb and rewire their communications and collaborations environment ahead of a number of things changing in the market like the NBN”.</p>
<p>Microsoft Australia COO, Rachel Bondi, <a href="http://www.afr.com/technology/telstra-signs-world-first-microsoft-deal-to-offer-phone-calls-in-office-365-20180315-h0xiyt">claims</a> Telstra’s new product reflects the close relationship between both companies:</p>
<p>“This is a unique offering in the Australian marketplace. We have Microsoft Office calling and hybrid solutions in other markets, but this is co-created for Microsoft and Telstra only in Australia”.</p>
