Menlo Park, Calif. (March
10, 2005) – Elo TouchSystems, Inc.,
the global leader in touch technology and a business unit
of Tyco Electronics, has today expanded its family of touchcomputers
and touchmonitors with the same look and feel by adding two
new members. The new 1529L 15" LCD
touchmonitor joins the award-winning 1229L and is a multifunction
touchmonitor that includes options for an integrated three-track
magnetic stripe reader (MSR), biometric fingerprint recognition device,
and the first consumer touchable 12.1" rear-facing customer display.
Extending the 1529L touchmonitor even more, the silent, fanless 1529L
touchcomputer joins the recently announced 1525L as an all-in-one touchcomputer
that integrates computing functionality within the footprint of a standard
15" LCD
display. Both the 1529L touchcomputer and 1529L touchmonitor
are available with a choice of Elo's IntelliTouch surface
wave or AccuTouch five-wire resistive touch technologies
with spill-proof sealing. The 1529L touchmonitor also has
the option of Elo's CarrollTouch infrared touch technology.
According to Mike Sigona, Elo marketing manager, "the 1529L multifunction
touchmonitor was designed for touch from the ground up. It is available
with a variety of optional rear-facing displays, either a 2 x 20 vacuum
fluorescent device or a unique 12.1" LCD with or without touch functionality.
Because connectivity is incorporated within the monitor, we have reduced
the number of power bricks and eliminated cable confusion." Sigona
adds, "Both the 1529L touchmonitor and touchcomputer form part of
Elo's continued investment in its vision to provide top quality, high
profile products that have the same look and feel and are flexible enough
to meet a wide variety of application needs."
