"We are confident the Eurotech platform will deliver the performance and reliability necessary for our client to offer both routine and emergency information to students in their university dorm rooms."

"Energy International, one of the top consulting engineering companies in the nation, chose Eurotech for this digital whiteboard project because of our experience in delivering intelligent computing platforms for demanding applications and harsh environments," said Greg Nicoloso, Chief Executive Officer for Eurotech in North America.  "We met their rigorous specifications for a college dorm digital whiteboard with in-wall mounting, and we worked with the engineering firm to design a fit for purpose fireproof enclosure behind the display for extra safety."
