The "Invisible" Thin Client Terminal

Let me tell you about an “Invisible” Thin Client
Terminal which was created by a team from a
major Israeli aerospace company.
The other day I stopped at Best Buy® and purchased
an SD memory card for my new cell phone.

I found it amazing that I could purchase an 8GB
Micro card for 1/2 of what it costs me to fill my
gas tank. 8GB of storage on a card that was
smaller than the finger nail on my pinky? What
is next? Will we soon be seeing 10 Terabytes
on a Micro SD card? That would not surprise me.

Now, speaking of amazing, I would like to tell you
about another innovative product. This product was
developed by an advanced engineering team
from a major Israeli aerospace company.

This team, a few years ago, was assigned a project
in which they were to develop a thin client terminal


that would be an alternative to a PC. The real
challenge for the group was that this thin client
would need to be so small that it that would fit
into a wall socket the same size as a light switch
wall box.

Furthermore, their mission was to develop this
product so that it would allow full communications
with Citrix, Microsoft Terminal Services, and even
VMware. Also, this product was to contain Internet
Explorer, have terminal emulations available, be
100% virus proof, use very little power, have
Wi-Fi available and even Power over Ethernet
as an option.

The real challenge was to be able to operate this
unit with a RISC processor that did not cause a
reliability problem due to heat coming from the
processor in a confined space the same size as
a switch box in a wall.

This product was first introduced in Europe a few
years ago. Now this company has one of the
largest installed bases for alternative PC products
found in Europe. One major customer is a
German governmental group that took delivery
of over 20,000 units.

I have been working with this manufacturer
since they first introduced this product in the U.S.
a few years ago. To see what this amazing product
looks like, and to read some specifications on
