CTL Launches New OPS Desktop Monitor Alongside New CTL All-in-One Computers with ChromeOS

CTL, an EdTech lifecycle products and services provider, today announced an expansion of its product ecosystem with the introduction of the CTL MTIP24OPS 24″ Open Pluggable Specification (OPS)-Ready Monitor, alongside two new CTL OPS All-in-Ones with ChromeOS, powered by Intel Core i3 and i7 processors. These new products provide flexible, upgradeable, and easily managed desktop computing solutions for schools and businesses where fleets of flexible desktop computers are needed, such as libraries, labs, test-taking centers, call centers, healthcare facilities, and more.

“CTL has a rich history of delivering reliable desktop monitors and innovative 2-in-1 computing solutions, dating back to our previous generations of Chromebox-powered workstations,” said Jeremy Burnett, Vice President of Technology at CTL. “We are pleased to continue serving our customers with this next-generation set of modular desktop computing solutions, which can incorporate the inherently cybersecure, easily managed platform of ChromeOS.”

The Foundation: CTL MTIP24OPS 24″ Standalone Monitor
The CTL MTIP24OPS is a platform-agnostic, Full HD (1920 x 1080) desktop display with an integrated OPS slot. It acts as a versatile base that seamlessly accepts Chromebox OPS, Android, and Windows computing modules to form a secure, completely cable-free desktop system. Features include:

• Crisp, Borderless Viewing. A premium 23.8″ LED panel with three borderless sides optimizes vivid media playback and clean text rendering.
• Built-in Collaboration Tools. Comes standard with an integrated, pop-up 5 MP webcam offering a +/- 20-degree mechanical tilt adjustment for clear and comfortable video conferencing.
• Ergonomic Adjustment. Standard height-adjustable stand supports comprehensive swivel, pivot, and vertical adjustments to reduce physical strain over prolonged use.
• Robust I/O. Includes a standard rear panel HDMI-IN port. When a Chromebox OPS is inserted, the monitor’s side USB 3.0 Type-C, USB 3.0 Type-A, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports can also be used.

The Bundled Solution: The CTL OPS All-in-One with ChromeOS
The CTL OPS-Ready Monitor serves as a foundation for a bundled All-in-One (AIO) solution when paired with either the CTL Chromebox OPS OP1x3 or CTL Chromebox OPS OP1x7. CTL’s Chromebox OPS slides directly into CTL’s MTIP24OPS monitor for a sleek, minimalist footprint.

Ideal for education, government, and enterprise desktop fleets, this solution leverages the power of ChromeOS for its built-in and proactive security and easy IT management via the Google Admin console. An AIO with ChromeOS enables IT directors to:

• Deploy the power of ChromeOS to desktops. Create a singular, cohesive ecosystem that streamlines policies and configurations across all Chromebooks and AIO desktops with ChromeOS.
• Simplify IT management. Manage all ChromeOS devices – desktops and Chromebooks – using the Google Admin console.
• Future-proof desktops and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). Upgrading computing power requires swapping just the internal OPS module, preserving the monitor hardware and extending the total lifecycle investment.
• Eliminate clutter complexity. This single-cable solution brings a minimal footprint for busy work areas.

CTL offers a long history of pairing monitors with Chromeboxes to create all-in-one desktop computers with ChromeOS. Over the years, CTL has built expertise, systems, and customer-support processes that get customers up and running quickly and smoothly.
