More than education, a complete display ecosystem

While Newline is exceptionally well positioned for the education market, the portfolio is far broader than interactive panels for classrooms. The range spans interactive displays, commercial signage, direct LED view solutions and a comprehensive software suite, making Newline a genuinely full-service display ecosystem for resellers working across multiple sectors.

Education
Google EDLA-certified interactive displays built for classrooms. The Lyra Pro, Elara Pro and C Series are designed around how teachers and students actually work, intuitive, collaborative and compatible with both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
Corporate & meeting rooms
The Vega Pro and Elara Pro bring professional-grade touch collaboration to meeting rooms and boardrooms. With integrated cameras, wireless casting and cross-platform support, they’re built for hybrid working environments.
Commercial displays
The DSX and STV+ commercial display ranges bring high-brightness, always-on signage capability to retail, hospitality and public spaces, extending Newline’s reach well beyond interactive use cases.
Direct LED view
The DV One Elite and DV One+ bring large-format LED display technology into the Newline ecosystem, ideal for large conference rooms, auditoriums and premium presentation environments.
Software & accessories
Newline’s software portfolio, including Cast+, Whiteboard, Engage, Ink and Signage Pro, adds a layer of platform capability that goes well beyond the hardware. Click2Cast and the accessories range complete the ecosystem, enabling resellers to specify a full solution from one supplier.

Why Newline, and why now?

The decision to partner with Newline was driven by a combination of product quality, company culture and market timing, and those three things rarely align as cleanly as they do here.

From a strategic standpoint, the partnership fits squarely into Solstice AV’s growing focus on education and corporate technology. Schools, trusts and businesses across the UK are modernising their display environments, moving away from ageing projector-based setups toward flexible interactive environments that support modern ways of working and learning.

“Newline is a business we’ve been watching closely for some time, so we’re delighted to be bringing the brand into the Solstice portfolio. There’s a really strong alignment between our businesses in terms of ambition, mindset and approach to the market.”

The summer refresh opportunity

Timing matters in the education AV market, and we’re announcing this partnership at precisely the right point in the year. The summer refresh cycle is the single biggest opportunity in the education technology calendar, schools plan over the spring term, allocate budgets, and then look to implement over the summer holidays so that classrooms are ready for students returning in September.

Solstice AV is ready, and the Newline range is available now.

In recent weeks, we’ve expanded our sales team with new appointments and continued active recruitment across the business. Our technical and operational infrastructure is growing alongside our product portfolio, so resellers can move quickly and deliver with confidence when it matters most.

A partnership built on alignment

Partnerships work best when there’s genuine alignment between businesses, and that’s very much the case here. Newline and Solstice AV share a similar approach: ambitious, operationally focused and committed to doing things properly.

“What stood out to us was the combination of reseller relationships, operational capability and ambition within the Solstice business. They understand the education market, they’re investing heavily in growth, and they have the infrastructure to support partners properly as projects scale.”

For us, the Newline partnership is another important building block in a proposition that continues to grow. We’re not just adding a product line, we’re adding a manufacturer partner whose culture, product quality and market ambition reflect where we want to take the Solstice business.
