Boundless First to Open Windows

A second generation NC has been unveiled by Boundless Technologies, incorporating Java and Windows environments with its Viewpoint Administrator software.

The Viewpoint TC is aimed at large businesses operating in multiple sites, with Wans over long distances.

There are three models: Model 100 has an Ethernet-ready network text terminal; model 200 has a multi-user Windows (3.1, 95, NT) device; and Model 300 is a NCRP 1 compliant NC with embedded Windows and local Microsoft Internet Explorer browser support. A fourth model will also be available in Q1 next year.

Michael Stebel, VP for global marketing, said the company expects the access to Windows environments to be an important factor in the take-up of NCs. Boundless is the first company to offer a machine incorporating it.

Currently, 50 per cent of Boundless NC sales are through OEM. Bannerbridge and Metrologie distribute in the UK.

Talks are under way with other value-added distributors although no agreements have been reached, and Boundless was reluctant to name them. Model 200, which will begin shipping in June, will cost around #535. A server licence for Viewpoint Administrator will cost about #205.
