KEY FEATURES

Key features of the smart and soundproof work pod, Gradus Work: advanced privacy and acoustics built for modern offices.
Fine-tuned soundproofing
A patent-pending acoustic structure tuned to human speech frequency provides A-class speech level reduction of 30dB – the industry’s top ISO 23351-1 rating for office pods.
Automated lighting
Dual adjustable 4000K LED light sources allow you to switch between video or work modes seamlessly – or make manual adjustments to suit your preferences.
Adaptive ventilation
Sensors inside the pod recognize the temperature and humidity of the office environment – and automatically optimize the airflow accordingly.
Built-in occupancy sensors & lights
Millimeter-wave radar sensors immediately detect when someone enters or leaves the pod, allowing lighting and ventilation to adjust accordingly.
And top-mounted occupancy lights show at a glance whether the pod is free, in use, or if a meeting is starting soon.
Connectivity
A built-in 4G connection enables automatic over-the-air feature upgrades to your smart pod – initiated instantly and silently in the background. The pod is also Wi-Fi enabled, providing an alternative way for the device to go online.
