All-in-one Touch Computer
Elo TouchSystems Introduces AllinOne Touchcomputer
September 2004
Elo TouchSystems, Inc., the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has announced the new 1525L 15in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) silent, fanless allinone touchcomputer. Elo has drawn on its 30 years of design experience and the success of the 1525L desktop touchmonitor to produce the spacesaving 1525L touchcomputer, that combines a touchmonitor with a computer in the space of a touchmonitor. The 1525L touchcomputer includes a choice of Elo's industryleading IntelliTouch surface wave or AccuTouch fivewire resistive touch technologies. Integrated options include a threetrack Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and a rearfacing customer display. The Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP versions of the 1525L touchcomputer include a hard drive; the Windows CE.NET version has solidstate components with no moving parts. Applications for the new allinone touchcomputer include loyalty systems, kiosk information systems, home control, casino management, cash systems and Internet access points such as those for Web surfing and hotel reservations.
Sleek, Spacesaving and Economical
"The sleek, spacesaving 1525L touchcomputer has the footprint of a standard 15in display, so the need for a desktop or tower case is eliminated by having everything built into the LCD enclosure," says Mike Sigona, Elo TouchSystems' marketing manager Europe. "Its slim profile and compact size allow the 1525L touchcomputer to be used as a desktop or wallmountable unit. What's more, our effective design means that we can offer a complete allinone touchcomputer at a lower overall installed cost than for separate components. This is a natural advantage for touch applications when both space and budget are at a premium."
Wide Range of Connectivity and Operating Systems
The new 1525L touchcomputer offers a wide range of connectivity and operating systems. "Connectivity includes two serial, four USB, Ethernet, PCMCIA and PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports," says Sigona. "Operating system options include Windows CE.NET, Windows XP or Windows 2000. It is available as a solidstate embedded system or with an integrated hard drive." Worldwide agency approvals include UL, cUL, FCC, IC, CE, T�V, VCCI and CTick.
Two Tough Touch Technologies
Elo's 1525L touchcomputer is available with a choice of IntelliTouch surface wave or AccuTouch fivewire resistive touch technologies. IntelliTouch surface wave touch technology is the pictureperfect, precision touch solution for high use indoor applications. It provides the highest light transmission (92 percent) of any touchscreen overlay plus industryleading durability and resistance to vandalism. AccuTouch fivewire resistive touch technology is the preferred solution for applications that demand reliability, input flexibility and contamination resistance. Both IntelliTouch and AccuTouch offer stable, driftfree operation and a touch response that is always accurate.
