SmartNet is the new Sm@rtChip multifunction “thin client” computer that functions as a PDA or a network terminal for Internet Telephony, Point of Sale, Video Security, other similar mission critical applications and more.

Sm@rtChip, Ltd. in cooperation with Intel (INTC) is now offering SmartNet thin client terminals based on Microsoft’s embedded operating system, Windows CE .net, and built-in security software.

The SmartNet multifunction thin client terminal offers OEMs and resellers a Windows terminal with the latest thin client server-based functionality to support all major platforms. SmartNet is a new CD size powerful thin client terminal with strong smart card built-in communication.

SmartNet thin client terminals simplify network and peripheral connection and unit deployment. They are also very secure, providing protection to valuable applications and data from corruption, loss, theft, or virus, minimizing downtime. Additionally, all models can be centrally controlled, reducing support costs. SmartNet thin clients lower TCO beyond that of PCs or other products.

SmartNet was developed in cooperation with Intel (INTC) through Intel Israel and their Eastronics division and is considered a promising product.

SmartNet applications include:

·        Internet telephone, cellular or regular

·        POS with smart card, contact or contactless support for smart cards

·        Video security

·        General purpose secure computer terminal

 SmartNet’s principal competitive edge is its built-in smart card reader and security software, its small unobtrusive design and its options for cellular communications, wireless networking and contactless smart cards.
