SMART Mobile Stand makes it easy to move and share large interactive displays
CALGARY, Alberta --- December 8, 2008 --- SMART Technologies announces its first mobile stand for interactive displays. The SMART Mobile Stand for interactive displays is specifically designed to add mobility to SMART Board™ interactive displays measuring 50" to 65" (127 cm to 165.1 cm). The system is ideal for users in education, business and government who must share limited numbers of interactive displays or who need to create temporary meeting or learning spaces. A mobile SMART Board interactive display means organizations can quickly add interactive and audiovisual functionality to rooms that would otherwise be without. Teachers can reconfigure space within a classroom simply by moving the interactive display to different parts of the room for small-group work. The mobile stand has a height-adjustable range of 15" (38 cm) up or down, which, depending on audience configuration, can improve sightlines. It also accommodates use by people of different heights and is practical for any special needs users with limited reach.
The SMART Mobile Stand for interactive displays was engineered to provide stability while interactive displays are in motion and to ensure strength and security while a display is stationary. At the end of the day, for example, a mobile display can be wheeled into a locked room for secure storage. The stand includes a sturdy locking cabinet with solid cabinet doors, so all audiovisual equipment can be housed inside the unit. The cabinet has space for a standard desktop computer and common peripherals, such as a DVD or VHS player. An optional laptop shelf is available for users who want to connect their own laptops. Once the SMART Mobile Stand for interactive displays is set up in the desired location, easy-to-control casters lock into place so the stand does not move while in use.
“As education and work environments become more diverse, flexibility becomes more important,” says Nancy Knowlton, SMART’s CEO. “The SMART Mobile Stand caters to the unique requirements of SMART customers by making it easy to use SMART Board interactive displays wherever they’re needed.”
