How hybrid docking stations support different office environments
Purplelec developed hybrid docking stations specifically for business environments where mixed devices are being deployed. Hybrid docking stations support multiple host connector technologies (the port you use to connect your device to the docking stations), so you can install a docking station that supports your businesses today and into the future. In our offering, we have solutions that support Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C, as well as solutions that support USB-C and USB 3.0 (Type-A) devices.
In short, Purplelec docking stations protect devices while enabling flexible work options. Studies show universal docks are increasingly being sought over proprietary ones, due to the wide range of “standards” used in consumer devices.
Check out how our hybrid docking station support different office environments:
1. Hybrid Docking for Hoteling and Hot Desking
Hoteling is an ideal way to organize your office. Instead of assigned seating, employees reserve a seat in the office before coming in. This transforms a stale office into a dynamic hub. Companies are increasingly learning the cost savings of hoteling, especially when using Purplelec docks, which can save a business an estimated $189,990 over seven years for a 500-seat office.
Hot desking is similar to hoteling, but there’s no reservation system. Employees are encouraged to sit in the available spaces. This creates a collaborative environment where teams work with each other more effectively.
2. Hybrid Docking for BYOD
BYOD policies let businesses leverage employee-owned devices. Uber’s impressive growth is attributed to its usage of employee-owned vehicles, and BYOD lets businesses in every industry leverage employee resources for infrastructure. Hybrid docking is how businesses save on operational costs through BYOD policies by accommodating a wide range of devices.
3. Hybrid Docking in Shared Workspaces
Some people just want freedom. Shared workspaces give freelancers and remote workers an office without having to be an employee of the workspace. Renting existing office space out as a co-working space is a great way to generate revenue while your workers are at home. You’ll need to accommodate whatever manufacturer devices they have – it’ll require an IT policy and a hybrid dock.
4. Hybrid Docking in Agile Workspace Environments
While there are many different types of flexible workspaces available, people all learn and work differently. Simply having an open floor plan is not always the answer. With agile workspace environments, businesses can create various creative collaboration zones that allow people to come together to work on various projects. This allows for greater collaboration, while still allowing users to work in quieter environments, or remotely, to perform deep work tasks.
What all of these environments have in common is the need for hybrid docking. Selecting a docking station that can adapt to the various devices being used is critical in these environments, as you don’t know each day who will be sitting at each location and what device(s) they might be using.
TU001 is a first-of-its-kind Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C docking solution. This hybrid docking solution has you covered with support for Dual 4K, up to 40Gbps data transfer speeds, device charging up to 60W and more. It’s plug-and-play, so you can focus IT resources on more important tasks than continuous setup issues.
DS018/DS019/DS020 are Purplelec’s lineup of USB-C and USB 3.0 docking solutions. They support both newer USB-C and legacy USB 3.0 (Type-A) devices. Supporting speeds/video/power up to 10Gbps/Triple 4K/60W or 5Gbps/Dual 4K/85W and 5Gbps/Dual 2K/60W ,these hybrid docking stations enable solutions that can truly scale with your business.
