CeBit 2012 News: IGEL introduces ARM based Thin Client

At the CeBit 2012 in Hannover IGEL introduces a new Thin Client device using a ARM CPU and it also provides an additional Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for Multimedia Encoding following the Citrix SoC Design which was introduced at the Synergy 2012 in Barcelona.

Based on this technology multimedia content can be displayed much better which improves the end user experience in general compared to other devices in this price/device class, IGEL will support Citrix ICA (HDX / HDX 3D) and Microsoft RDP (RemoteFX) sessions in the first step and other services/sessions should follow if available for the ARM technology.

 Iam sorry to say, there is only one sample device and this one is at the CeBit; if you’re @ the CeBit take the chance and visit the IGEL booth. As soon i got a sample device i will post some more impressions here. Currently i call this device the better zero client.. 🙂

Cheers
