Winterm Web Center
Wireless, Handheld Windows-Centric Thin-Clients Wyse Technology is proud to introduce the Winterm™ 2930 portable terminal, an exciting new addition to the Winterm™ thin-client family of products. This wireless Winterm™ unit delivers the cost efficiency, ease-of-use, information systems data security, and network manageability of a Windows-centric thin-client. In addition, its wireless design is light and compact enough to take anywhere. 
With
its introduction of the WintermTM 2000 series of desktop thin-clients,
Wyse Technology established a new approach to deploying applications.
The Winterm™ 2930 continues that tradition, providing all the important
benefits of the Winterm™ 2000 desktop series, including exceptional
security and low ownership cost. At the same time it adds a new level
of portability to accommodate your mobile computing needs. Like
Winterm™ desktops, the Winterm™ 2930 delivers the performance,
security, and reliability you expect from your Microsoft Windows NT servers.
It also offers the cost, management, and control benefits of centralized
computing. Plus, it gives you the flexibility of using both off-the-shelf
and custom applications developed for the popular Windows operating system. As
a Windows thin-client, the Winterm 2930 has been specifically designed
to provide a display into applications that run on centralized computing
systems. This makes it significantly superior to handheld PCs that try
to miniaturize all of the components of a desktop PC in order to fit a
hand-held package design. Other
hand-held solutions face severe limitations as well. Many must have a
unique interface to meet the requirements of a small screen. And, since
handheld PCs can't run today's popular 32-bit operating systems and custom
software applications, many also only work with less powerful and poorer
performing applications. The
Winterm™ 2930 avoids those limitations by taking a different, thin-client
approach. First, it uses the same efficient ICA 3 protocol used with Winterm™
desktops. ICA 3 protocol is used both to send display information to the
hand-held client and to transmit data entry at the client back to the
server. The Winterm™ 2930 communicates with a host application server
that runs a multiuser version of the Windows NT operating system, running
all user session applications on the central system. Due
to its more advanced technology, the Winterm™ 2930 is able to deliver
all the resources of a high-end server to its users. As a portable client
in constant communication with the server, the Winterm™ 2930 is always
"on-line." So, as users update corporate information on their
portable Winterm™ units, all the data is stored on the central server
where it becomes instantly available to the entire workforce. What's more,
since Winterm™ 2930 applications run on a server hooked into your
corporate backbone, all of the resources of your Information Systems--from
large disk drives and powerful processors to high-bandwidth connections
to the Internet--are available to the mobile worker. Wireless
Winterm™ portables give users the ability to take their complete,
full capacity application to locations and situations where interacting
with information systems resources is vital. The
Winterm™ unit's pen-based interface is easy to use while standing
or walking, whether you're on the manufacturing floor of a factory, or
accessing health care applications in a hospital room. And, with minor
application customization, you can take advantage of its easy point-and-click
interface and touch-sensitive LCD, as well as access its pop-up touch
keyboard for convenient data entry. The
Winterm™ 2930 works with a wide variety of peripherals. It includes
a PS/2 port for connecting input devices such as keyboards, hand-held
scanners, and pointing devices. In addition, the Winterm 2930 provides
a serial connector with AUX port support for data input. To
afford maximum usage flexibility, the Winterm™ 2930 uses the power
of a radio frequency network to communicate with its host and access other
computing resources. Integrated into this wireless thin-client is a radio
that takes advantage of standard Radio-Frequency LAN (RF LAN) technology
while conforming to the WLIF recommendations for 2.4 GHz, spread spectrum
communications. Just
as current wired networks are in many ways transparent to the desk-bound
worker, the wireless LAN is transparent to the mobile user. A mobile connection
can hop from access point to access point without the user ever knowing,
in much the same way cellular phones hop between cellular base stations. Wireless
computing uses Radio-Frequency LANs. To begin using wireless communications,
you only need to install a Radio-Frequency LAN. RF LAN hubs (also called
Access Points) establish a communications medium that can be used by any
computing resource in a given area. Depending on building construction
or terrain, one access point can provide connectivity to any device within
a 200 to 1000 foot radius. In addition, you can install a number of RF
LAN hubs so they work together to create a single RF LAN that can span
large areas. Wireless
LAN equipment compatible with the Winterm™ 2930 thin-client is available
from most major computing equipment manufacturers and from Proxim, Inc. The
Winterm™ 2930 wireless thin-client is designed to be used with Multiuser
Windows NT operating systems such as: The
Winterm™ 2930 comes complete with all the software necessary to add
roaming, wireless connectivity to any server using these multiuser Windows
NT operating systems. Included software from Cruise Technologies, Inc.,
installs your multiuser Windows NT server, "mobilizing" it for
wireless LANs and Winterm™ Wireless thin-clients. In addition, the
package includes software utilities that make it easy to configure your
wireless network, as well as useful, pop-up utilities that work with the
Winterm™ 2930. A world
leader in thin-client/network computing, Wyse
Technology is the world's most experienced thin-client manufacturer.
Since 1981, Wyse has placed over 8 million units worldwide and is the
leading supplier of advanced high-resolution desktop display technology.
The Winterm™ 2000 series benefits from Wyse's rich legacy of system
compatibility, adherence to standards, and system dependability. WyseWorks®

wireless thin-clients expand on the extensive connectivity options already
available for Winterm™ 2000 series thin-clients. Wireless Access
points provide connection to 10Base2 or 10BaseT corporate networks and
provide access for multiple Winterm™ 2930 terminals. Multiple
access points can be used to wire a complete building or site. Winterm™
Wireless thin- clients automatically hop between access points to provide
seamless connectivity to users wherever their jobs take them. WYSE,
