You do not pay for unnecessary hardware or software. For example, you do not need to buy the most expensive hardware platform to deliver the Advanced Digital Service Pack.

• You can also save money by consolidating more hardware, such as a PC and a telephone, into one affordable and easy to manage device.
• Device life is extended since you can upgrade hardware connectivity mid-life and the flash memory for the Universal firmware has more than enough room for future software expansion.
• The user experience is outstanding since you are not forced to deliver the whole user experience, including multi-media, VoIP or video, via just one protocol that was never designed to be multi-purpose.
• New technology or security updates are delivered to every model very quickly since we only have to update three firmware images to touch all our hardware models.
• Supporting an estate of IGEL Universal Desktops is easy due to firmware commonality, a single flash size per operating system and the IGEL Universal Management Suite has a consistent user interface regardless of what is being managed.

The IGEL Universal Desktop gives you far greater long term cost savings compared with traditional thin clients and more flexibility to handle whatever the future throws at you.

Class leading remote management software plus outstanding business solutions
IGEL products offer outstanding capability for the money. For example, all IGEL thin clients come with a full version of IGEL Universal Management Suite. This extremely powerful tool can manage tens of thousands of terminals with point-and-click simplicity. All our products support Smartcards and most come with a Smartcard reader built in as a standard feature. We support our products for many years after release and do not charge for new releases of our firmware and management software. We also offer free technical support so customers have access to our world class expertise whenever they need it. This results in outstanding solutions with predictable and transparent costs throughout the project lifecycle.
