MICRO INDUSTRIES ENHANCES 65-INCH INTERACTIVE DIGITAL SIGNAGE WITH LATEST INTEL® TECHNOLOGY
Touch&Go Messenger® 65 Now With Intel® Core™2 Duo
San Francisco, CA, September 23, 2009
Micro Industries®, the leader in retail interactive computers, announced today at the Intel® Developers Forum in San Francisco that its Touch&Go Messenger® 65L and 65P computers are now available with an enhanced motherboard based on the Intel® G45 chipset and supports Intel® Advanced Management Technology (Intel® AMT). The new motherboard is powered by an Intel® Core™2 Duo processor with up to 4 GB of DRAM. The full HD 1080p large-format interactive display is supported by the next-generation Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X4500HD delivering breakthrough video performance with Blu-ray quality.
“The new motherboard provides a much anticipated boost to system performance and makes the Touch&Go Messenger® 65 an outstanding computer system for retailers deploying direct-to-consumer in-store interactive marketing systems,” said Michael Curran, Micro Industries chief executive officer. “Our Touch&Go Messenger 65 is the preferred interactive digital signage for many retailers today and this enhancement allows them to deliver their message with maximum impact and Intel® AMT 4.0 makes the system much simpler to manage from a remote location.”
“By utilizing Intel architecture for Touch&Go Computers Micro Industries is able to minimize power consumption without compromising performance,” said Jose Avalos, director of marketing for Digital Signage, Intel. “By incorporating the features of Intel® AMT, these systems can be maintained and managed remotely for reduced total cost of ownership (TOC) of running the network and can be shut down remotely to increase energy savings.”
