Elo
Extends Family of All in One Touchcomputers and Touchmonitors with
the Same Look and Feel
Features include the first touchable 12.1in rear facing display
 March
2005 -
CeBIT 2005. Elo TouchSystems, Inc., the global leader in touch
technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has expanded
its family of touchcomputers and touchmonitors with the same look
and feel by adding two new members, launched at CeBIT 2005, Hannover,
Germany. The new 1529L
15in LCD touchmonitor joins the award-winning 1229L and is
a multifunction touchmonitor that includes options for an integrated
three-track magnetic stripe reader (MSR), biometric fingerprint
recognition device and the first consumer touchable 12.1in rear-facing
customer display. Extending the 1529L touchmonitor even more, the
silent, fanless 1529L touchcomputer joins the recently announced
1525L as an all-in-one touchcomputer that integrates
computing functionality within the footprint of a standard 15in
LCD display. Both the 1529L touchcomputer and 1529L touchmonitor
are available with a choice of Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave
or AccuTouch five-wire resistive touch technologies with
spill-proof sealing. The 1529L touchmonitor also has the
option of Elo's CarrollTouch infrared touch technology.
Typical
applications for the 1529L series include point-of-sale,
point-of-service, loyalty systems, kiosk information systems,
light industrial shop-floor automation, home control and Internet
access points.
Extending
an Award-Winning Design
 According to Mike
Sigona, Elo marketing manager, "The 1529L multifunction
touchmonitor was designed for touch from the ground up. It is available
with a variety of optional rear‑facing displays, either a 2 x 20
vacuum fluorescent device or a unique 12.1in LCD with or without touch
functionality. Because connectivity is incorporated within the monitor,
we have reduced the number of power bricks and eliminated cable confusion." Sigona
adds, "Both the 1529L touchmonitor and touchcomputer form part of
Elo's continued investment in its vision to provide top quality, high
profile products that have the same look and feel and are flexible enough
to meet a wide variety of application needs."
Wide Range of Connectivity and Operating Systems
Extending the 1529L
touchmonitor with built-in computing functionality,
the new 1529L touchcomputer offers a wide range of connectivity and operating
systems - all in the same footprint. Connectivity for the 1529L
touchcomputer includes two serial, four USB, Ethernet, PCMCIA and PS/2
mouse and keyboard ports. Operating systems include Windows XP Embedded,
Windows CE.NET or Windows 2000. The 1529L all-in-one touchcomputer
is available as a solid‑state embedded system or with an integrated
30GB or greater hard drive and 1GHz processor. Both the 1529L touchcomputer
and touchmonitor can function as desktop or wall‑mountable units.
"The new 1529L all-in-one touchcomputer provides a
truly economical solution," says Frank Lung, Elo product manager. "Its
design and development continues Elo's commitment to a reliable, retail-rugged
and easy to integrate touch solution that fits in with any systems integrator,
OEM and/or Value‑Added Reseller's requirements."
