BTX Releases Appliance for Solstice
HAWTHORNE, N.Y. — May 7, 2014 — BTX Technologies, a value-added distributor and
manufacturer of interface, integration, and system products, today announced that they released a Mersive
approved appliance solution for Solstice collaboration software. This solution comes with everything
needed to make a boardroom or classroom “collaboration” ready.
Solstice enables multiple presenters to connect simultaneously to a shared display using a range of
devices over an existing WiFi or Ethernet network. With a Solstice-Enabled Display in a meeting room,
any number of presenters can instantly connect, share and control the display, fostering collaboration and
decision-making. In addition, enterprise customers can use the Solstice Dashboard to centrally manage all
of their Solstice displays across their corporate network. Applications include Business Meetings,
Education, Command and Control, Hotels and Conferences, Data Visualization, Video Teleconferencing
and Digital Signage.
Two versions of the BTX Solstice Appliance for collaboration are available – one for unlimited presenters
and one for up to four presenters, and each come with an option for an extended software maintenance
period. The hardware is the same in each solution allowing an easy upgrade from Solstice SGE to
Solstice Unlimited if room requirements change. The appliance solution includes a windows operating
system, keyboard, mouse, power supply and the Solstice by Mersive software. The BTX Solstice
Appliance is optimized to run Mersive Solstice Display software. This configuration is locked down
making this a truly plug and play collaboration appliance. For those who want the freedom to have the
hardware available for other uses, there is a bundled solution available without the optimizations
described above.
“With this solution, it is our goal to make collaboration systems both simple to use and easy to install.”
said Greg Schwartz, President of BTX. “The form factor is so small that it can be easily moved from
room to room if so desired and the solution is at a price point that makes it extremely compelling.”
BTX will be featuring Solstice at Infocomm in the Theater of Collaboration, booth N1019. BTX offers a
free 30-day trial of Solstice Display Software, which needs to be installed on a Windows computer that is ENDS
connected to a display. Presenters can then connect to the display by installing the free Solstice app on
their laptop or mobile device. To request a free trial, visit www.mersive.com/btx.
