SMART Technologies has introduced three new products to the U.S. market: the SMART Board Mini interactive podium, the SMART Board M Pro High Secure Series TAA interactive display, and SMART OneLaunch — a new meeting solution developed in partnership with Airtame.

The launches respond to common challenges in education and corporate settings, as highlighted by a recent SMART survey of IT directors and professors:

• 30% of higher education campuses still use outdated technology, with legacy projectors falling short in modern classrooms.
• Annotation capabilities were cited as critical for simplifying complex concepts and improving training effectiveness.
• More than half of respondents identified real-time feedback as a top priority for increasing engagement both in-person and online.

SMART Board Mini Interactive Podium
The SMART Board Mini is designed to support real-time collaboration through digital inking, content sharing, and high-quality audio and video. It can be used in lecture halls or meeting rooms and is also suitable for one-on-one video conferencing.

Key features include:

• The only interactive podium with an integrated OPS PC module slot compatible with both Windows and Google-licensed appliances.
• Built-in video conferencing tools: a 4K AI-enabled camera, 8-microphone array, 12W speakers, and a 27-inch 4K UHD display.
• A single-cable connection enables touch and inking on connected projectors or displays via HDMI or USB-C output—no splitters or switches needed.
• Simultaneous interaction with content when paired with a SMART display.
• SMART Ink integration allows users to write directly into PDFs and Microsoft Office files and save their annotations within the documents.
