A wireless remote interface for locally mobile networked and stand-alone PCs, Zenith Data Systems' CruisePad lets you wirelessly control a desktop or notebook PC while collaborating with a colleague in a conference room or walking with a customer. Paired with a CruiseLAN or Proxima RangeLAN2 card in the host PC, the frequency-hopping spread-spectrum radio in the unit sends input commands to the host PC directly or via a networked access point and instantaneously receives display updates. The CruisePad provides up to 500 feet of range within buildings. Used in conjunction with a CruiseLAN/Access Point, the range increases to 1000 feet in open spaces; Multiple CruiseLAN/Access Points can extend the range throughout a building or campus. The unit costs $1399.
