Click here to be taken to the Twin Data Thin Client Page

The BOSâNOVA LTC Series of thin client terminals provides easily configurable solution to remote desktop computing. Whether the application is data entry, point of sale, training, ISP's, or web kiosks, these thin clients provide a highly cost-effective access to Windows desktop applications residing on a Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server. Central configuration and user management drastically reduces cost of ownership, while the versatility of the hardware platform and customization capabilities increase user productivity.

Versatile Hardware Platform with High-speed Processing

A versatile combination of features provides the flexibility to support virtually any application with the BOSâNOVA LTC Series. The entry-level model BOSâNOVA LTC-300 sports an industry-standard 300 MHz CPU, while the BOSâNOVA LTC-600 practically doubles that speed to provide top performance, even when browsing the Web. This is especially important in a thin client environment where, unlike Windows environments, Web pages are not cached and need to be reloaded each time, over the LAN.
The BOSâNOVA LTC-300 has 64MB of RAM, while the BOSâNOVA LTC-600 has 128MB of RAM and 32 MB of Disk on Memory (DOM). The BOSâNOVA LTC-300 is equipped with support for SVGA display (1024x768 16-bit color), while the BOSâNOVA LTC-600 supports up to 1024x768 24-bit color. Both models have one parallel printer port, two serial ports, two USB ports, keyboard port, mouse port, 10/100 base-T Ethernet interface, and an audio out line. Options include a full-featured 122-key keyboard designed for use with midrange applications, smart card reader for personalization of terminal applications and permissions, PCMCIA slot, support for 802.11b and 802.11g wireless communication.

Centralized Management

As with any Windows Server product, the system administrator manages the accounts the Thin Client Terminals use. A major benefit is that since all applications are run from the server, there is no local installation or maintenance of software applications at the client workstation. Furthermore, since all user data and files are resident on the server, central backup is possible, thereby freeing the user of this task.

 Enterprise Class Remote Administration

While based on the high-performance Linux OS, the BOSâNOVA LTC Series provides the comfort of a Windows 2000/XP user interface

The BOSâNOVA LTC Series of thin client terminals is simple to configure either locally or remotely using the Remote Terminal Administrator (RTA), which enables the following tasks:

  • Complete terminal configuration from a central location, including terminal emulation settings

  • User lock-out from configuration changes, keeping the cost of ownership down

  • Scheduling of firmware updates

  • Shadowing of the user's desktop

  • Cloning of user environments

  • Control over which applications can be run on a particular terminal

Windows & Citrix Connectivity

All of the BOSâNOVA terminals provide connections to Windows Terminal Servers and Citrix servers using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client software. RDP connects to Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition (TSE) or Windows 2000 Server, while ICA connects to TSE or Windows 2000 servers with Citrix Metaframe extensions, including Metaframe XP.

 Terminal Emulation

It also supports a full-featured 122-key keyboard*, enabling efficient work with host applications without the need for operator retraining. (Click here or on image at right for an enlarged view of the LTC desktop)

Benefits of the Linux Platform

While the desktop has a Windows 2000/XP look and feel, both the BOSâNOVA LTC-300 and BOSâNOVA LTC-600 models are based on Linux. This versatile and user-friendly operating system provides additional capabilities not available with Windows-based terminals running Windows CE, such as:

  • Scaleable Windows

  • Java Virtual Machine

  • Embedded Netscape browser with JVM that can be used as a Domino/Notes client

  • X Windows connectivity to other Linux and Unix servers

  • Seamless access to applications running on Unix based servers

In addition, the XPDF reader Plug In provides Adobe Acrobat Reader functionality, and 32 MB DOM allows localized customization of the client desktop and applications.
