Wifi Revolution

Wyse Technology has announced secure high-speed Wi-Fi capabilities and smart card support for its entire V and S classes of thin clients as well as its new Wyse V class L product line.

 

Wyse’s entire product line now offers users multiple modes of high-speed Wi-Fi and smart card support (either as a built-in or external add-on solution). This brings new levels of flexibility, mobility and security to today’s businesses and enterprise users.

 

The company points out that their new Wyse thin clients are fully compatible with Microsoft (News - Alert) Terminal Services, Citrix Presentation Server, VMware VDI and Wyse Device Manager. Wyse’s thin clients offer customers a variety of deployment options including support for major operating systems including Wyse Thin OS, Microsoft Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded and Linux.

 

Wyse has also launched Wyse Thin OS 5.3, which includes support for wireless and smart card options on the V10L and S10 thin clients.

 

All Wyse thin clients are tailored to operate in enterprise desktop virtualization, application virtualization, and terminal services environments. The units also offer users the latest wireless capabilities and smart card support. Customers thus get a complete “PC experience” on a thin computing device at a fraction of the price.

 

The easy to install new wireless thin clients only need a power source to turn them on. The clients can securely connect to any supported wireless network, without requiring driver installation or assembly.

 

“Although wireless came somewhat late to the thin-client market, we expect it to have solid adoption over the next few years,” said Bob O'Donnell, program vice president, Clients and Displays at IDC (News - Alert) in a statement.

 

He continued: “Desktop PC adoption of Wi-Fi is expected to reach just under 10 percent in 2010 and with enterprise Wi-Fi installations available in about 80 percent of major businesses around the world, we expect wireless thin clients to grow even faster than desktops.”
