IGEL Technology Launches the Most Competitively Priced Thin Clients Offering Dual Monitor Support* from a Major Manufacturer

Reading, December 11, 2006 - IGEL Technology, the world’s fastest growing major thin client vendor, announced that it was enhancing its Smart product range with the latest VIA Eden™ processor and CN700 chipset with VIA V4 bus technology. This enhancement delivers an average performance increase of more than 30 % over the previous Smart generation and gives new features such as dual monitor support. Starting at only €249/£162/USD289 + tax, the IGEL Smart range is now the lowest priced thin client from a major manufacturer that offers dual monitor support.

The IGEL Smart series supports Linux, Windows CE and Windows XPe operating systems and is aimed at value driven customers who want excellent performance and features for a great price. All versions of the IGEL Smart series support external smart card readers and come bundled with the IGEL Remote Manager suite.  The IGEL Smart series consumes only 20W of power and is small enough to be mounted on the back of monitors and furniture using an optional VESA bracket.

The IGEL-2110 LX Smart is based on IGEL Linux and comes with ICA, RDP, ThinPrint and Cisco VPN. It is fully dual monitor capable using the built in VGA and DVI ports. The IGEL-2110 LX Smart has a list price of €249/£162/ + tax.

The IGEL-2110 CE Smart is based on Windows CE and comes with ICA, RDP, ThinPrint, and Microsoft VPN clients. It can output one session to two monitors using the VGA and DVI ports. The IGEL-2110 CE Smart has a list price of €249/£162/ + tax.

The IGEL-2510 XP Smart comes with ICA, RDP and ThinPrint clients, a full Internet Explorer web browser and Microsoft Media Player. It is fully dual monitor capable just like 2110 LX. The IGEL-2510 XP Smart has a list price of €379//£259 + tax.

All the new products are available immediately from Authorized IGEL Resellers.

“No other major thin client vendor offers these levels of features for such a competitive price.” stated Stephen Yeo, Worldwide Strategic Marketing Director for IGEL Technology. “When combined with their German quality and engineering, the new Smart models represent an unbeatable combination. The world’s largest thin client range just got even more unbeatable.”

The launch of the new Smart models comes hot on the heels of an IGEL Technology product range expansion with three new series: the IGEL ProScribe thin client tablet for mobile applications, the IGEL Elegance thin client with integrated 17“ TFT Display and the IGEL PanaVeo quad-display thin client.  The expanded IGEL product range allows organisations, with almost any application and in any market, to provide secure, manageable and secure digital access to their infrastructure.

* The IGEL-2110 LX Smart and IGEL-2510 XP Smart models can offer extended desktop capability for a single session or can have separate sessions on each monitor. The IGEL-2110 CE Smart only can have a single session duplicated across both monitors.
