14 DAY TRIAL // Eleksen Group, the inventor and manufacturer of ElekTex smart fabric touchpads for consumer electronics, announced that they are offering their innovative wireless fabric keyboard through certified resellers and directly to large enterprises who have implemented mobile working solutions using smartphone platforms.
The keyboard is a laptop-sized QWERTY accessory that delivers all the capabilities of the office keyboard to corporate 'road warriors' and busy executives in an ultra-portable and compact package. It is compatible with most popular devices from BlackBerry, Nokia, Palm and Microsoft.
The keyboard increases productivity for mobile workers by complementing existing smartphone devices, which rely on small thumbpads for data entry. Thumbpads are excellent for quick messaging, but can be awkward for more elaborate tasks and applications. As such, enterprises may not be getting optimal productivity returns on their investment in these devices.
In addition, the keyboard opens up new possibilities for corporate IT departments to roll out further sophisticated applications to their mobile workers and further enhance their productivity.
In a study for Palm's Treo conducted by Frost and Sullivan, median downtime recovered for workers using the Treo smartphone was estimated to be 41 minutes per day, equating to $8,572 per year. In a 1,000-user enterprise the average productivity gains associated with using the Palm Treo amount to over $8 million per year. The Eleksen keyboard aims to stretch these productivity gains even further.
Designed around Eleksen's ElekTex smart fabric touchpad technology the keyboard's lightweight (65gms) and compact design means it fits easily into a pocket or the smallest briefcase for maximum portability. With no mechanical parts and with a wipe-clean finish it's extremely durable and won't get damaged by coffee spillages or cake crumbs.
The keyboard is available to corporate customers at prices from ?40 per unit with quantity discounts available.
