Lenovo ThinkSmart One + IP Controller – Microsoft Teams Rooms 12BY0004US

Product Overview

The Lenovo ThinkSmart One with IP Controller (12BY0004US) is a Windows-based all-in-one collaboration bar for Microsoft Teams Rooms, designed for small and medium conference spaces. It integrates compute, camera, microphone, and speaker into a single front-of-room bar, powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1145G7E vPro processor running Windows 11 IoT. The included Lenovo IP Controller is a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen that provides Teams Rooms meeting controls from the conference table via Power over Ethernet, eliminating a separate USB connection for the controller.

Product Description

The ThinkSmart One is the first and, at time of release, only Windows-based integrated collaboration bar combining the compute unit, camera, audio system, and room controller in a single certified package. The i5-1145G7E vPro processor (1.5 GHz base, up to 4.1 GHz turbo) pairs with 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD to run the Windows 11 IoT Teams Rooms application without a separate compute box or PC. Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics power the high-resolution camera with an extra-wide field of view covering the full width of small and medium rooms.

The IP Controller connects to the network via PoE, receiving both power and data over a single Ethernet cable to the conference table — no USB cable run from the bar to the table is needed. Its 10.1-inch HD screen provides 10-point multitouch input for meeting controls. The bar itself handles all audio processing including microphone pickup and loudspeaker output for remote participants. The configuration (i5-1145G7E vPro, 16 GB, 256 GB, Windows 11 IoT) is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms and managed through the Teams admin center.
