New Wyse Thin Computers Combine Advanced Display Handling With Small Size, Silent Operation

Sydney, Australia – 7 March 2007
Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, today announced the Australian availability of the new Wyse V class L-family of thin computers with advanced display capabilities.

Thin computing is being selected for increasingly demanding applications, creating demand for a desktop with advanced display handling capabilities, yet retaining the small size and power consumption attributes of thin computers.  Responding to this need, Wyse introduces the Wyse V class L-family of thin computers, which supports high-resolution displays and the option to connect two displays simultaneously. This extends the work productivity, security, reliability, and affordability of thin computing to data-intensive environments such as document management, financial services, medical care, and research industries. Designed for use with Microsoft Terminal Services, Citrix Presentation Server, VMware, web-based, and full-function streaming environments, the Wyse V class L-family of thin computers includes dual-monitor window management allowing the user to take full advantage of two monitors in a remote-computing environment.

 “The new Wyse V Class L-family of thin computers addresses the requirements of customers asking for higher display resolutions (up to WUXGA 1920 x 1080 pixels), superior image quality, and support for analog and digital displays through the new DVI-I interface," said Rick Ferguson, vice president of operations for APAC, Wyse Technology. 

"This solution also rounds out our offering with our Wyse V class L-family of thin computers, now giving us options for dual-video. This further extends the security and reliability of Wyse thin computers to demanding, multi-display environments."

The new family is based on the VIA Eden C7 processor, and uses only 12 watts of power making it one of the most economical units available.  The family is four times faster than the models it replaces*, at the same or lower prices.

"Dual-video support was once a nice-to-have but is becoming more of a need-to-have,” said Mike Strohl, President of Entisys, a Wyse Premier Reseller. 

“The Wyse 3150 thin client was a great product, however the V30 Dual-Video gives you Microsoft Windows CE in a much faster box, with the ability to use two displays if you desire, all at the same price point as the 3150.  We think this is going to be a homerun." 

The new product line includes models based on Windows CE 5.0, Linux, and Windows XP embedded.  Models are available immediately starting at $671 including GST.  Dual video capability requires optional DVI-I to dual display cable, available from Wyse.

* The Wyse V class L-family of thin computers models replace the popular Winterm 3150, 5150 and 9150 models.
