Addonics Communications Licenses Citrix ICA Technology for Windows-Based Remote Terminal Embedded and LCD 12.1-Inch TFT Flat Panel Displays.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 1998-- Will Provide Access to Windows Applications Anytime, Anywhere Addonics Communications today announced a new product line of Windows-based remote terminals. Addonics will incorporate Citrix Systems Citrix Systems' (NASDAQ: CTXS) is an American technology company, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with subsidiary operations in California and Massachusetts, with additional development centers in Australia, India and the UK. Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS CTXS Citrix Systems (NASDAQ stock ticker symbol) ) Independent Computing Architecture Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) is a proprietary protocol for an application server system, designed by Citrix Systems. The protocol lays down a specification for passing data between server and clients, but is not bound to any one platform. (ICA Ica (ē`kä), city (1993 pop. 108,724), capital of Ica dept., SW Peru, on the Pan-American Highway. It is a commercial center for the cotton, wool, and wine produced in the region. There are several summer resorts nearby. (R)) into its new terminals and will bundle them with a LCD 12.1-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film. TFT - Thin Film transistor flat panel display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time . The Addonics Remote Terminal (ART) will have OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and pricing that is expected to begin under $499. The LCD will have a similar price. The ART will feature a unique built-in Web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet. In order to view a site, you type its address (URL) into the browser's Location field; for example, www.computerlanguage.com, and the home page of that site is downloaded to you. that will not only allow users to remotely access Windows-based applications anytime, anywhere, but will continue working via the Internet even if the connected server system fails. "Citrix's ICA technology is recognized as the de facto [Latin, In fact.] In fact, in deed, actually. This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs that must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate. industry standard for thin-client/server computing. Customers can now have access to Windows-based applications with ICA-enabled Windows Based Terminals," noted May Lee, President of Addonics Communications. "We chose to implement Citrix's Independent Computing Architecture because it is a high-performance, cost-effective thin-client/server computing solution." "Since 1995, an increasing number of manufacturers have relied on our Independent Computing Architecture to meet corporate demand for fast and secure access to server-based enterprise applications," said Janice Roberts, director of client business development for Citrix. "Addonics Remote Terminal is a valuable addition to the growing range of ICA-enabled thin client devices available in the marketplace." With over one million concurrent user licenses since its introduction in 1995, the Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) is an emerging industry standard for thin-client/server computing. Citrix's ICA thin-client/server technology includes a server software component, a network protocol component, and a client software component. On the server, ICA separates application logic from the user interface and executes 100% of the application on the server. The ICA network protocol transports keystrokes, mouse clicks and screen updates over standard protocols to the client, consuming less than 20 kilobits-per-second of network bandwidth. On the client, users see and work only with the application's interface.
