MENLO PARK, Calif. - Elo TouchSystems has expanded its family of touchcomputers and touchmonitors with two new members. The new 1529L 15-inch LCD touchmonitor includes options for an integrated three-track magnetic-stripe reader, fingerprint recognition device, and a 12.1-inch rear-facing customer display. Extending the 1529L touchmonitor even more, the silent, fan-less 1529L touchcomputer joins the recently announced 1525L as an all-in-one touchcomputer that integrates computing functionality within the footprint of a standard 15-inch LCD display. Both the 1529L touchcomputer and 1529L touchmonitor are available with a choice of Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave or AccuTouch five-wire resistive-touch technologies with spill-proof sealing. The 1529L touchmonitor also has the option of Elo's CarrollTouch infrared-touch technology. Extending the 1529L touchmonitor with built-in computing functionality, the new 1529L touchcomputer offers a wide range of connectivity and operating systems - all in the same footprint. Connectivity for the 1529L touchcomputer includes two serial, four USB, Ethernet, PCMCIA and PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports. Operating systems include Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE or Windows 2000. The 1529L all-in-one touchcomputer is available as a solid-state embedded system or with an integrated 30 GB or greater hard drive and 1 GHz processor. Both the 1529L touchcomputer and touchmonitor can function as a desktop or wall-mountable unit.
