Education

Interactive whiteboards are becoming increasingly popular alongside traditional whiteboards and chalkboards in modern classrooms. 

These tools allow teachers and students to instantly capture their work electronically, interact with, and modify existing content like pre-planned lessons. 

USB and Video Extension Solutions for Digital Signage

The interactive digital boards often use USB technology, along with the standard USB limitations requiring the host to be less than 5 meters away of the display. Using Icron’s ExtremeUSB® extenders to bridge the distance gap, reaching greater distances, and increasing the modern classrooms flexibility.

Why Use Icron for Education?

Interactive whiteboards generally require USB 1.1 connections, and there are many USB 1.1 extenders available on the market. 

However, Icron’s USB 1.1 Rover® extenders are specifically designed for classroom environments. 

They offer superior ESD/EFT protection to handle the static from foot traffic on carpets, can manage in-rush current at start-up, and have passed CPSIA safety inspections. 

Additionally, the Rover series is compatible with all models from the leading interactive whiteboard manufacturers, SMART and Promethean, and includes the full suite of ExtremeUSB® features.
