TE Connectivity Expands Interactive Digital Signage Portfolio Adding New 55-Inch Display With Optical Multi-Touch And IntelliTouch Touchscreens

New IDS Touchscreen Plus Enhancements for Existing Models Give Customers a More Dynamic and Sensitive Touchscreen Experience

TE Connectivity recently announced the launch of its largest Interactive Digital Signage (IDS) touchscreen display and the enhancement of existing models with innovative optical multi-touch and IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave (SAW) touchscreen technologies to continue to provide boundless options to the growing market for interactivity. TE Connectivity will be exhibiting and demonstrating these new products and enhancements at the NRF10 1st Annual Convention & EXPO on January 16-17, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York, booth #2471.

The new Elo TouchSystems 5500L 55-inch large-format touch display, available with either optical multi-touch or IntelliTouch SAW touchscreens, is thinner than existing IDS displays and compatible with optional computer modules. In addition, the company has enhanced the 4200L and 4600L (42-inch and 46-inch) IDS models with its resilient IntelliTouch SAW touchscreen technology, allowing more customers to benefit from the latest technology advancements. Elo TouchSystems IDS displays are designed specifically for demanding applications such as malls, retail outlets, hotels and public venues of nearly every kind.

"We are very excited to launch our largest IDS touch display to date, leveraging the same reliability and quality Elo TouchSystems touch products are famous for. The touchscreens are integrated at the factory and not added aftermarket. This reinforces the dependability of our IDS displays that are developed to withstand the demands of commercial applications. " stated Neeraj Pendse, global product line manager at TE Touch Solutions. "By adding optical multi-touch functionality to the already existing 4200L and 4600L displays, we are providing customers with a wide breadth of cost-effective interactive display options."

The Elo TouchSystems IDS displays are hard-wearing and stylish, making them an excellent choice for "Out-of-Home" public locations which intercept prospects and customers in high traffic paths with interactive messaging. IDS displays with either IntelliTouch or optical multi-touch touchscreens are very well suited for a variety of hospitality, casino gaming, healthcare and retail settings seeking to engage customers with a very dynamic and sensitive touchscreen experience. With interactive displays, customers benefit from a richer experience that delivers content tailored to their needs. Customers actively choose the content they view and become active participants instead of passive viewers. In addition, end-customer engagement can now be measured in real time to provide valuable data to marketers. Elo TouchSystems products also deliver the most rugged touch solutions able to perform and withstand the rigors of public applications and environments. Boasting commercial-grade components, its solutions last longer than alternative consumer-grade products.
