GDS selected NextWindow for its touchscreen technology after GDS's research into the touch solutions available for large interactive displays identified NextWindow's technology as being superior in performance over other touch technologies on the market, say the company. This new joint venture will enable both companies to combine their unrivalled manufacturing and design capabilities to deliver touchscreen displays of unparalleled quality and innovation to industry sectors such as retail, banking, travel and leisure. The development is another key product in GDS's new e-Signage range, launched in 2004.
As part of the agreement, NextWindow will supply GDS with optical imaging touch components on a non-exclusive OEM basis and support services to assist GDS with the successful integration of the components. The agreement also provides GDS with a licence to use NextWindow's TouchEngine, installation and integration software.
Steve Morrison, Director of NextWindow comments, "This partnership offers fantastic opportunities for GDS and NextWindow. We look forward to a long-standing relationship that will extend the range of innovative, high quality, interactive display products on offer to our customers."
