Applica Technology

Applica Inc. is a privately held company, which delivers PC products that leverage its patent-protected, Zero-Client technology. The Zero-Client technology (e.g. Applica U2) enables additional sets of standard PC peripherals - monitors, mice, keyboards and audio (speakers, microphones, headsets) - to form the lowest-cost, fully-functional Windows “stations” capable of accessing and sharing the resources of a commodity PC. The near-native performance of each Applica solution far exceeds the capabilities of competing thin client configurations. Solutions with Applica content deliver the lowest Total-Cost-of-Acquisition (TCA) and Total-Cost-of-Ownership (TCO) for any deployment, expansion or upgrade of a desktop/tower, multi-seat configuration.

Since Applica stations are comprised of components that are absolutely dependent upon the Host PC to which they are physically connected, those stations are able to share most of the Host PC’s software licenses that are based upon “computer” or “node” licensing. Most importantly, graphical display information is efficiently delivered from the Host PC to each station’s display either natively or through a 132 Mbs point-to-point connection (CAT5 STP). This connection operates at bus speed and requires no protocol, providing a high bandwidth pipeline that is ideally suited for graphical windows and multimedia environments. Applica products also support touch screen technology for optimally configuring kiosks and retail terminals.

Applica products are easy to install and use since each Applica station’s user interface remains the familiar Windows desktop - no custom configuration, no protocols, and no special commands are needed. Multi-seat PC solutions with Applica technology are typically deployed and supported for 30 to 40 percent lower cost than conventional, single-user PC configurations.

Applica versions are available for Windows 95, 98, 98SE, 2000 Professional, 2000 Server, XP Home and XP Professional. Today, tens of thousands of people use Applica zero-client products that take advantage of the untapped power in Windows PCs to deliver multi-seat access to PC applications and the Internet. Businesses, schools, libraries, government and other institutions use Applica to stretch their computing budgets by delivering more desktops at the lowest possible cost.

Plazoom is an innovative home entertainment system that enables the streaming of audio and video to multiple television sets in the home. This system is designed to revolutionize home entertainment by allowing a host PC to display streaming images on multiple television screens that act as clients. Each television can perform various functions simultaneously and independently. You can watch movies, listen to music, share photos, access email or control various features in your home from the comfort of your couch. Plazoom empowers any television to act as a computer. The control functions available on the host PC can be remotely accessed and used on any television screen using a remote control. Streaming images from the host PC to the client-television screen allows users to optimally utilize the multimedia, internet, and workstation functions independently of the host.

Applica’s digital signage solutions can be implemented in hotels and restaurants, retail environments, educational facilities, corporate environments, and transportation facilities. Applica's digital signage and networking solutions enable advertisers to drive and control multiple screens simultaneously and independently. Digital signage sanction superior return on investment results compared to traditional printed advertisements. Digital signs consist of message boards, LCD or plasma display panels, electronic billboards, projection screens, and other emerging display types like Organic LED screens that can be controlled by your PC, allocating the control of content via the Internet.

Applica technology offers the complete solution that allows PC sharing between multiple users with a single PC, simultaneously and independently! Applica's Zero-Client technology enables additional sets of standard PC peripherals - monitors, mice, keyboards and audio (speakers, microphones, headsets) - to form the lowest-cost, fully-functional Windows station capable of accessing and sharing the resources of a commodity PC. The near-native performance of each Applica solution far exceeds the capabilities of competing thin client configurations. Applica’s PC sharing solutions deliver the lowest Total-Cost-of-Acquisition (TCA) and Total-Cost-of-Ownership (TCO) for any deployment, expansion or upgrade of a desktop/tower or multi-seat configuration.
