Wireless Notebook Version of the Sun Ray™ Ultra-Thin Client

Comet 15 is 100% compatible with Sun Ray™ ultra-thin client from Sun Microsystems, while adding mobility & wireless networking. Comet 15 shares a chassis with the Tadpole SPARCLE® product family (no longer available), giving users interchangeability between batteries and chargers.

Since Comet 15 notebooks are un-tethered and completely stateless, they can be assigned to users "on-the-fly". This allows a company to have fewer units - only as many as there are active people. Comet 15 notebooks have very long battery life (6-8 hours), and can be used anywhere within range of a wireless access point. Like all Sun Ray™ thin clients, they support smart cards for secure identification & global session management.

Sun Ray™ ultra-thin clients have no local processing - everything is done on the server, including backup. Sun Ray™ ultra-thin clients are "plug-and-work", no software loading or updating, and no system crashes. Windows® may be opened to Solaris™, Linux and Windows applications (using third party tools).
