Wyse Unleashes New Wireless Tablet Thin Client

Wyse 3820TX Provides Thin Client Mobility Within Corporate Environments; Result of Expanded Strategy to Deliver More Than Just Desktop Thin Clients

San Jose, CA – 2003/01/20 - Wyse Technology, the domain experts in server-centric computing (SCC), today introduced the Wyse 3820TX tablet thin client for customers who demand secure and reliable mobile access to information and applications. The tablet thin client is a part of the portfolio of new products and services that Wyse is introducing based on its new strategy to expand beyond desktop thin clients. As with all thin clients, the key to rapid and ongoing return-on-investment is manageability within the enterprise. Based on Windows CE, the 3820TX is the only tablet thin client managed by Wyse Rapport™, the industry standard in thin-client management software, which empowers IT staff to manage all Wyse thin clients from a single centralized location. The lightweight tablet satisfies a growing demand for instant wireless access to corporate networks from industries where employees require mobility within a building or campus.

Wyse was ahead of the market when the company introduced the industry's first wireless thin client well before any other such offerings. The industry is now ready to embrace this type of technology as the wireless era has reached new heights. PDAs, wireless e-mail devices and Web-enabled smart phones have become ubiquitous and Tablet PCs have emerged. Wyse's second-generation wireless tablet builds upon a legacy of leadership and innovation to provide a critical business tool that combines the utility and convenience of a mobile device. Within this burgeoning market of tablet devices in particular, Wyse addresses the needs of customers who require the security and manageability that have become a hallmark of Wyse thin clients.

"This Wyse tablet clearly demonstrates our strategy to expand beyond the desktop thin client market and provide our customers with server-centric solutions that are customized to meet their individual requirements," said Brad Rowland, director of product management at Wyse Technology. "We introduced this device to address the growing demand for mobility in the workforce for employees who cannot be strictly deskbound, such as medical professionals, factory supervisors and retail sales employees. The market is ready for a tablet thin client that provides the security, manageability, affordability and reliability our customers expect from Wyse."

With its integrated support for Wyse Rapport, the 3820TX significantly reduces IT management costs and complexities and spares non-technical staff from any need to update or maintain their mobile device. Wyse Rapport performs four critical desktop management functions from one or more locations: software distribution, device diagnostics, device configuration and asset management. While IT managers may appreciate its management and security benefits, Wyse's tablet thin client provides many advantages for users. It comes with a 12.1-inch LCD touch screen, CalliGrapher® handwriting recognition, a virtual keyboard, the Microsoft Windows CE operating system, embedded support for Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol 5.0 and Citrix ICA resident communications protocols, and 32 MB of internal memory for an estimated customer price of $1499. An optional eight-hour battery is available that frees users from the need to recharge or carry additional batteries during their workday.

"Wyse continues to lead the market with thin-client technology that maximizes the value of Windows Terminal Server and Windows Embedded software," said Scott Horn, director of the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft Corp. "Utilizing the rich and robust technologies of Windows CE, Wyse's 3820TX offers customers a high level of security; enhanced wireless capabilities that meet business demands; and a rich, thin-client computing experience."

Like other Wyse thin clients, the 3820TX ensures that critical data and software are stored on the server, not the device, and therefore provides greater security than other mobile devices. The wireless tablet is also more reliable because it has no moving parts and its unique streamlined user interface ensures the device provides unmatched simplicity and ease of use.
