10ZiG Technology, a leading provider of IBM iSeries connectivity solutions and developer of XP-, CE- and Linux-based software, announced the release of a new thin client series called the 5600 Series.
The company describes its new systems as the fastest small thin clients, the RBT-616 XP measuring 1.4 x 6.1 x 4.8 inches at 1.4 lbs, while the second model in the series, the RBT-602 Linux, having a total size of 1.4 x 5.9 x 4.7 inches at 1.4 lbs. Both are powered by the low-power consuming Intel Atom N270 Dual Thread processor at 1.6 GHz speeds and use only 12 watts of power.

They are available with Linux, Windows Embedded Standard 2009, or Xpe platforms, supporting dual-monitor connectivity and 802.11 b/g wireless technology with WEP and WPA encryption. Features common to the two thin clients include VDI Ready, the SNMP management software for centralized data management and 3-year warranty.

The Linux-based system comes with Linux 2.6 Kernel, advanced emulation with 8 5250 sessions, splits-screen, macro, rule cursor, multi-host, GUI, and support for 122-key keyboard.

“The 5600 Series has set the standard for next-generation thin clients. These units offer the complete package – they are small, flexible, fast and energy efficient,” says Martin Pladgeman, 10ZiG Technology President. “Thin client computing has come a long way, especially now with the increased interest in desktop virtualization. We’re excited to be part of that by offering high-performance, energy-efficient units and thin clients designed specifically for desktop virtualization.”
