Seamless Applications Without the Citrix Penalty

SmartFLeX Technology is the first company to OEM with Ericom on their new PowerTerm RemoteView for the Windows Terminal Server. To take advantage of this new server add-on our thin client incorporates an extended RDP client, supporting a traditional RDP connection as well as the new seamless application feature. The new seamless application feature allows system administrators to publish Windows Terminal Server applications to a Linux based thin client without the added cost of a Citrix server. The result is a dramatically lower cost alternative for companies needing published applications, who now have the choice of using an embedded Linux device to get the same type of applications only provided by Citrix in the past.
