The MicroClient is based on the new SiS 550LV processor. This processor integrates all the functions of a multimedia PC onto a single chip. In our implementation, we have created one of the most fully functional "all-in-one" packages ever. This unit is a fully integrated multimedia server that is one of the smallest Pentium class computers in the world. The MicroClients are based on a technology called System on Chip (SoC). System on Chip puts all the functions found on a motherboard (processing, I/O, and peripheral support) on a single chip.

NorhTec's MicroClients are based on the SiS 55x SoC. The SiS 55x is a x86 MMX compatible CPU that offers superscaler execution and a pipelined floating point unit. The SIS 55x has three superpipelined Inter Units. This means that for a given clock cycle, the SiS 55x can execute more than one instruction. For example, at 100 Mhz, the SiS 55x offers the same computational power as a 233Mhz MMX. Our custom designed casing and heatsink makes the unit completely fan-less.

The NorhTec MicroClient

The MicroClient can be configured as a small, very energy efficient thin client. The thin client version can support both RDP 4.0 or RDP 5.2 (optional) for Microsoft applications and XDMCP for Unix and Linux applications. For more details on our thin client solution, please see Channel.

Special version of the MicroClient thin client solutions can be configured for banking, hotel reservations systems, kiosks and other specific applications. Write to us for details and pricing.
