Intelligent Device Management
The Boost+ Charge & Sync station is transparent to MDM software, meaning your host computer recognises only the mobile devices, not the hub itself. This allows you to simultaneously synchronise devices using software like Apple Configurator, iTunes, and other mobile device management platforms, saving valuable time when deploying apps, setting up profiles, and distributing media and content across multiple devices.
The unit provides a charge rate of approximately 1.5A in sync mode by utilising Charging Downstream Port (CDP) functionality, compared to a standard sync rate charge of just 500mA. This means devices will continue charging while syncing and after data transfer completes, ensuring every device is fully charged when needed.
Safety & Durability
Built from commercial-grade materials and tested to withstand weight-bearing and drop testing, the Boost+ meets the demanding requirements of education and healthcare environments. It includes comprehensive protection features:
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection
- Over-voltage protection
- Over-current protection
- Over-temperature protection
Safety tested and certified by Underwriters' Laboratory (UL) to standards including UL 60950-1/R:2011-12 (USA), CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/A1:2011-12 (Canada), and EN 60950-1/A12:2011 (Europe). The unit has been tested to comply with Healthcare Infection Control Procedures, ensuring it can be cleaned thoroughly according to healthcare guidelines.
Versatile Installation Options
The Boost+ features keyhole cut-outs on the rear for easy wall mounting, or can be placed on desktops and counters. The IEC socket with 1.8m power cord is designed to snap out if pulled away from the wall, preventing damage to the unit and surrounding equipment. This portable hub replaces the need for multiple chargers, power sockets, and extension cables, consolidating everything into one efficient solution.
