ATEN Bolsters Console Extender Line with Launch of New Units Enabling Access to Computers or KVMs Hundreds of Feet Away
New Console Extenders Ideal for Manufacturers, Retailers, SOHOs/SMBs and More
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., April 6 -- ATEN today announced five new Console Extenders. The new units join an expanded console extender lineup that offers a multitude of uses for manufacturing-centric organizations, construction sites, warehouse/distribution, brick and mortar retail locations, small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and small offices/home offices (SOHOs). ATEN's new space-saving console extenders, which utilize CAT5 cabling, empower users to control a server or KVM switch from a convenient remote location - away from secure and loud server rooms. A console is also known as a keyboard, monitor and mouse - the interface between an end-user and the computer or KVM switch.
"In the realm of connectivity products, one of the most overlooked, yet valuable, tools in the arsenal of the network administrator is the console extender," explained Sampson Yang, CEO, ATEN. "Our R&D teams researched an array of vertical markets and realized that our expanded line of console extenders could fill a centralized management void that would offer an array of commercial and consumer uses."
Available now, ATEN offers a full line of console extenders ranging in price from $200 to $700 and includes:
-- USB Console Extender (CE700A): is a USB-based console extender capable
of extending access to a computer or USB KVM from a remote console
from up to 500 feet with a CAT5 cable. A resolution of 1920 x 1200 can
be achieved at a distance of 100 feet.
-- USB Console Extender (CE750): allows access to a computer or USB KVM
from a remote console from up to 650 feet away with a CAT5 cable at
video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. This extender is unique in that
it not only supports audio, but both units incorporate a RS-232 port
for serial devices such as barcode scanners and touch screens.
-- USB Console Extender (CE770): is a USB-based console extender which
allows access to a computer from a remote USB console for up to 1,000
feet through a CAT5 cable. The unit features audio support, automatic
signal compensation, an RS-232 serial port and De-Skew functionality
that eliminates video artifacts and color bleeding often caused by
long cable runs. A video resolution up to 1920 x 1200 can be achieved
at distances under 500 feet.
-- USB Console Extender (CE800B): allows access to a computer or USB KVM
from a remote console from up to 820 feet away with a CAT5 cable. This
extender is unique in that it not only supports audio, but both units
also support external USB mass storage-compliant devices (Flash
drives, USB floppy drives and USB-based CD-ROM drives). The CE800B
also supports high video resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200.
-- Digital USB Console Extender (CE790): is an IP-based console extender
with automatic cable detection (Auto-MDIX) and RS-232 serial
functionality that allows access to a computer via a remote USB
console (USB keyboard, monitor and USB mouse) anywhere on the Intranet
- no distance limitations. The CE790 also features audio support,
superior video resolution up to 1920 x 1080, and ATEN's De-Skew
technology to eliminate video artifacts.
The following are sample scenarios depicting the use of ATEN's console extenders product line:
-- Factory/Manufacturing and Environment/Construction Sites: Ideal tool
for harsh environments where it is important to separate the mouse,
monitor and keyboard from the computer. This separation is essential
in manufacturing where the computer can be harmed by dirt, dust, oil
or moisture.
-- Security/Surveillance Systems: For security and monitoring purposes,
users can install a camera and microphone in one area while placing
the console in a convenient location for easy access and monitoring.
-- Healthcare/Hospitals: Medical records can be reviewed from one server
via two separate rooms without the need to deploy a network.
-- Brick and Mortar Retailers: With brick and mortar retailers trying to
replicate the interactivity of the online buying experience, these
units are perfect for kiosks such as store information, bridal
registries, etc.
-- Office Locations: For IT managers whose offices are located outside of
the data center for security, noise or climate reasons, these products
offer simple cost effective central and remote management tools to
serve as console duplicators. A receptionist can access a computer
located in a back office - away from the reception area.
-- Home or Small Offices: For workers in the home or small office
environment with one PC located in one part of the house and there is
a need to access recipes in the kitchen or have to surf the Net for
car parts in the garage, then these products are ideal.
ATEN's full line of console extenders are also beneficial the broadcast field and houses of worship. "Unlike our competitors, we are leveraging console extenders as a viable technology that can thrive within a diverse mix of usage scenarios from the data center to the server room to the home office," added Yang.
