Stone launches Unistand at BETT 2012
17 January 2012
Stone launches the UniStand, a
space-saving IT hardware chassis, specifically designed for the
modern classroom at the BETT 2012 Show, Olympia, London
Stone's workstation space saver, UniStand, has been developed specifically to
maximise number of workstations that classrooms can accommodate by
reducing the space required for individual terminals
UniStand is able to re-house the highly popular Ultra Small Form
Factor and ITX Space Saver - Stone's power-efficient,
high-performance and small dimension PC units - into 'All in One'
units that minimise the space required for the workstation yet
further, without compromising on functionality, accessibility or
ease of use.
Released for the first time at BETT 2012, the UniStand has been
developed with space saving and ease of use at the forefront of the
design. It incorporates front access to two USB ports, a line in
for a microphone, a line out for headphones and an optional
additional power button on the front of the stand itself, providing
improved ease of access.
The UniStand also includes a dedicated keyboard and mouse
storage area to minimise the clutter of workstations and making
classrooms smarter, tidier and able to physically accommodate more
terminals. Additional features of the UniStand include cable
management and routing to reduce cable exposure; a security bolt
that enables it to be fastened to a desk for additional office or
classroom security; the ability to house 17" - 22" monitors and is
fully adjustable to comply with all current health and safety
regulations.
James Bird, CEO at Stone, comments, "As an experienced supplier

sector and its functionality is evident in the design. Once again,

specific and current demands."
