Powerful, Cost-Saving Alternative to the UNIX Workstation
The NCD Explora 700TM network computer extends NCD's tradition of providing UNIX application access to the most complex applications and the most demanding users, while setting a new standard for flexible network computing performance on multi-environment networks. Support for virtually all UNIX host environments is provided by NCDwareTM, NCD's award-winning embedded operating environment.

Powered by a 64-bit MIPS R4700, RISC processor—the NCD Explora 700 supports high-resolution display, stereo sound, and excellent video and graphics capabilities normally associated with expensive workstations at a fraction of the cost. And it boasts the fastest X11 server currently available.

The Complete, Java-Enabled Network Computer
The NCD Explora 700 features a local Java Virtual Machine combined with a web browser, as well as Windows NT and legacy system access, to provide the industry's most complete network computer system. It is the ideal solution for both long-time users of X Windows terminals and new network-centric knowledge workers.

Whether it's running local Java-based applications, displaying Java applets running on a network server, or accessing a Windows or legacy application, the NCD Explora 700 has the power and full feature set to make the most of Java-based, or other network computing software.

Network Multimedia
With its support for 100BaseT, wireless, 10Base2, and 10BaseT connectivity, the NCD Explora 700 is a great device for standards-based networked multimedia. Using on the powerful SoftPEG decoder, NCDware's Video Player brings computer-based training and visual information delivery to life with full-motion video and synchronized audio. And the NCDvideo API gives users the ability to customize the player or to embed it in applications they develop. The Network Audio System supports similar creativity for computer telephony and digital radio solutions.

The Power User's Dream Come True
Engineers, software developers, designers, and technical writers—all will appreciate the NCD Explora 700’s powerful CPU and full feature set. And with additional options—including support for 17", 19" and 21" screens and flat panel displays, as well as multiple keyboards and a floppy drive—the NCD Explora 700 has the flexibility to meet the needs of even the most exacting power user.

The power user’s dream comes true with NCD’s three year warranty. And to ensure continued productivity and virtually no downtime, NCD offers an additional service—the ‘Uplift to Overnight Exchange’ program—premium overnight service, to meet your demanding requirements. NCD’s standard three year warranty is the longest warranty in the thin client industry.

The Last Word in Thin Client Devices
Combined with NCD’s WinCenter, or any other Citrix WinFrame-based server software that provides access to Windows NT applications, the NCD Explora 700 attains its full potential. It brings the best of UNIX and Windows to the user, while simplifying security and other management tasks for system and network administrators. With its extremely high-performance support for Windows and legacy applications, Java, the web browser, UNIX, and multimedia, the NCD Explora 700 is truly today's ultimate in flexible network computer solutions.
