CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RealVNC, the original creator of remote access solutions, today announced the release of RealVNC Connect Version 8, the latest evolution of its acclaimed remote access software. This milestone release introduces significant improvements, including a completely redesigned user interface, a new unified desktop application, and powerful new features tailored for both remote access and remote support use cases.

This milestone release introduces significant improvements, including a completely redesigned user interface, a new unified desktop application, and powerful new features tailored for both remote access and remote support use cases.

For the first time ever, RealVNC Connect Version 8 brings together both RealVNC Viewer and Server into a single, unified desktop application. Users can now configure this unified application for inbound and outbound connections effortlessly, simplifying deployment and daily use.

“Version 8 represents a fundamental leap forward for RealVNC Connect,” said Gavin Lyons, Chairman of the Board at RealVNC. “Our goal has always been to make secure, reliable remote access as intuitive and versatile as possible. With this release, we’re delivering unprecedented simplicity, usability, and powerful new capabilities, empowering IT teams and end-users alike.”

Secure, Temporary Access with Code Connect

A standout addition in Version 8 is the new Code Connect feature, enabling quick, secure guest access to licensed remote devices through self-expiring session codes. This feature provides enhanced security by requiring guest users to enter a session code that expires after 2 minutes, safeguarding against future access to the same devices.

Introducing HelpDesk for Responsive Remote Support

Version 8 also introduces RealVNC’s new HelpDesk feature set, designed specifically for IT Support Admins and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Built around RealVNC’s On-Demand Assist capability, HelpDesk allows support teams to provide responsive, on-demand remote assistance without pre-installed software on the end user’s device. This ensures fast, secure, and hassle-free remote support sessions across Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms.

HelpDesk comes equipped with essential tools like session recording, resume-on-reboot functionality, and permissions escalation to empower IT teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly.

Looking ahead, RealVNC will further enhance this offering with HelpDesk Advanced, launching later in 2025. This future extension will introduce features like session handover, multi-technician collaboration, and real-time annotations to deliver even greater flexibility and control.

Additional Enhancements for Better Control and Visibility

Version 8 also delivers a range of improvements designed to streamline device management, enhance session usability, and give administrators greater oversight of remote access activity.

Enhanced In-Session Toolbar: A redesigned, movable toolbar that can be minimized and repositioned anywhere on the screen, making it easier to support users without obstructing their view.Analytics Dashboard: A comprehensive, customizable dashboard available through the RealVNC Connect Portal. Provides administrators with real-time insights into team activity, licensed devices, and active sessions.Refreshed File Manager: A dual-pane interface gives users clear visibility of local and remote file directories, simplifying file transfers and management.Favorites in Device Lists: Allows users to create personalized folders of devices, independent of company-defined groups, to better suit individual workflows.Multi-Level Device Lists (Coming Late Spring 2025): Admins can now organize devices hierarchically, such as by department, office, or project, improving navigation and control within large teams or organizations.

“RealVNC Connect version 8 is our most ambitious update yet,” commented Neil Gad, Chief Product and Technology Officer at RealVNC. “From a fully redesigned UI and a consolidated application experience to advanced remote support features, we’re committed to enabling smoother, more secure interactions, empowering teams to work more effectively.”

By

HANOI, Vietnam, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At VEC in Vietnam on July 21, the Shandong Heavy Industry global partners conference & green intelligent products expo opened. Responding to the green transition of global commercial vehicles and heavy equipment, Weichai – with decades of expertise – unveiled five core tech routes: BEV, HEV, PEMFC, alternative-fuel ICE, and ADAS. Through full-chain proprietary control and breakthroughs, it provides efficient, low-carbon, intelligent power solutions to the global market.

Battery electric vehicle powertrain: full-chain deployment and high-efficiency recharging: Weichai masters core battery, motor, and e‑control technologies. Its CT100 battery – for heavy tractors and dump trucks – features integrated design and triple insulation, delivering better reliability, efficiency, safety, and speed. The WMS3200 drive system, tailored for heavy‑truck haulage, boosts efficiency and cuts vehicle power consumption. The WMC‑L/H/B integrated controllers offer stable, efficient control for light trucks, heavy trucks, and buses.

Hybrid electric vehicle powertrain: deep integration and ultra-long range: Weichai covers series, parallel, and series-parallel architectures, deeply integrating engine and e-drive. For urban logistics, the WP2.5T range extender offers quick response and low noise; for long-haul transport, the WP3NNG natural-gas range extender uses a “pure electric for short hauls, range-extended for long hauls” mode, with over 1,000 km combined range, easing range anxiety.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell: zero-carbon leadership: Weichai has built a full-chain hydrogen energy system covering components, stacks, and systems. The WEF300 fuel cell engine has been deployed in volume in 49-ton heavy-duty trucks, suitable for long-haul and port logistics. The WEFG500 power generation system provides megawatt-class scalable power to support data centers and industrial plants.

Alternative fuel internal combustion engine: diverse clean-energy options and exceptional cost-effectiveness: Modular design enables flexible switching between H₂ and methanol. WP15DI hydrogen ICE peaks at 46.8% thermal efficiency; WP17T methanol ICE targets heavy‑equipment energy use, cuts operating costs, and is mass‑deployed in 130‑ton mining trucks.

Intelligent driving assistance system: vehicle-road-cloud collaboration: Weichai built a vehicle‑road‑cloud full‑stack architecture, with mining autonomous solution for cm‑level docking & obstacle avoidance, and trunk‑line ADAS with intelligent cruise & auto lane‑change, boosting high‑speed safety and economy.

Going forward, Weichai will keep iterating these five tech routes with global partners to advance sustainable manufacturing.
