The big news is here.

Did you know? SolarWinds was the largest hack in the U.S. history with criminals of another state having hacked the U.S. Justice, State, Treasury, Energy and Commerce Departments. Bloomberg report from February 2021 has now warned: "The U.S. government must use every control at its disposal to ensure that it does not deploy equipment from [Asian-based manufacturers of computer motherboards] within the system boundary of high-valued assets and sensitive networks." In light of security breaches reportedly linked to this type of products, Impact continues to offer products free of such concerns. Its product line - based on the hardware designed and fabricated in Germany by Kontron, and therefore U.S. & EU friendly - consists of single board computers and computer motherboards as well as complete PCs in chassis, which are safe to use.

Optical Bonding Improves Your Monitor or All-in-One

Optical bonding is the process of laminating cover glass or touchscreens to the LCD in a clean room environment by filling the air gap between the touchscreens and LCD with silicone gel or highly transparent adhesive to increase the quality and performance of the device. Almost all cellphones these days are using optical bonding technology. Dirt, dust, moisture, and condensation in the air gap increase the risk of failure and reduce product life of a display. The air gap also results in higher reflectivity. The display optics are not only dramatically improved by eliminating the airgap via optical bonding, but the touch performance is significantly enhanced as well.
