Lenovo ThinkSmart Core + Controller Kit – Microsoft Teams Rooms System
Product Overview
The Lenovo ThinkSmart Core + Controller Kit 11LR0005US is a purpose-built Microsoft Teams Rooms system designed for conference rooms that already have existing audio/visual infrastructure. The kit pairs a Teams-certified compute unit with a 10.1-inch touch controller, delivering a complete, IT-managed meeting room solution without requiring a full room rebuild. Powered by an 11th Generation Intel Core i5 processor with Intel vPro technology, it integrates directly with Teams Rooms software on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise for consistent, policy-compliant meeting experiences across your organization.
Product Description
The ThinkSmart Core is the compute engine in this kit — a compact, rackmount-ready device that connects to your existing room displays, speakers, and cameras via HDMI and USB. It ships with the ThinkSmart Controller, a 10.1-inch touch display that serves as the primary meeting interface for one-touch join, calendar view, and call controls. The kit also includes ThinkSmart Manager Premium software for centralized remote deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting of all room devices from a single dashboard — critical for IT teams managing multiple conference spaces across a facility or campus. Intel vPro enables hardware-level remote manageability even when the OS is unresponsive. This kit is ideal for medium to large conference rooms where the AV infrastructure is already in place and the requirement is a certified Teams Rooms compute and control layer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this kit include cameras and speakers?
No. The ThinkSmart Core + Controller Kit 11LR0005US is designed for rooms that already have cameras, displays, and audio equipment installed. It provides the certified compute and control layer that connects to your existing AV infrastructure via HDMI and USB.
Q: Is this compatible with Zoom Rooms?
The 11LR0005US is specifically certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms. Lenovo does offer separate ThinkSmart Core kits certified for Zoom Rooms. Contact Creation Networks if you need a Zoom-certified configuration.
Q: What is ThinkSmart Manager Premium?
ThinkSmart Manager Premium is Lenovo's cloud-based device management platform for ThinkSmart room systems. It allows IT administrators to remotely deploy, monitor, update, and troubleshoot devices across all meeting rooms from a centralized dashboard, without requiring on-site visits.
Q: Can IT manage this device remotely if the OS crashes?
Yes. The Intel vPro platform enables out-of-band hardware management, meaning IT can access and remediate the device independently of the operating system state.
Q: What room sizes is this appropriate for?
The ThinkSmart Core + Controller Kit is suitable for small, medium, and large conference rooms. Because it connects to existing AV infrastructure, room size is determined by the peripherals already in place — displays, cameras, and audio devices — rather than the kit itself.
Q: What is included in Lenovo Premier Support?
Lenovo Premier Support provides direct access to Lenovo's advanced support team, bypassing first-tier scripted troubleshooting. It includes 24/7 phone access and priority on-site service, which is important for minimizing meeting room downtime in enterprise environments.
Q: Does the controller require a separate power supply?
The ThinkSmart Controller is powered via the ThinkSmart One Cable connection to the Core unit, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter at the control surface.
