The TCD i Series is an industrial thin client designed for environments where standard endpoints are not enough. It provides secure, centrally managed access to virtual desktops such as Citrix, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Omnissa Horizon — while supporting industrial systems, legacy equipment, and edge infrastructure.

An industrial thin client is a purpose-built endpoint designed to operate reliably in harsh environments while connecting users and systems to centralized applications and desktops. The TCD i Series extends this concept by combining industrial connectivity, flexible expansion, and modern EUC compatibility in a compact, fanless design.

  • Industrial-grade fanless aluminum design

  • Dual LAN & Dual COM

  • Built for continuous operation

Built for Industrial EUC and Edge Deployments

Built for Industrial EUC and Edge Deployments

Fanless Industrial Design for Harsh Environments

  • All-aluminum chassis with passive cooling reduces failure points and prevents dust intake, enabling stable operation in manufacturing, logistics, and field environments.

Dual LAN for Network Segmentation and Control

  • Two Gigabit Ethernet ports enable the separation of IT and OT traffic, enabling secure data flow, redundancy, and a controlled network architecture in industrial deployments.

     

Dual COM for Legacy System Integration

  • Native serial connectivity allows direct communication with industrial equipment such as PLCs, scanners, and control systems, without additional adapters.

Advanced Expansion for Edge and IoT Use Cases

  • Supports multiple M.2 slots, Mini PCIe, and optional SIM-based connectivity, enabling Wi-Fi, 4G, storage expansion, and flexible deployment at the edge.

WHO THIS MODEL IS FOR

The TCD i Series is a strong fit for organizations that need:

  • Thin clients for manufacturing, automation, and industrial control systems

  • Fanless endpoints for harsh or non-office environments

  • Thin clients with COM ports for legacy equipment integration

  • Centralized management at scale via TCMS

  • Centralized EUC environments extended beyond traditional office settings

How it compares to the TCD G Series:

The TCD i Series is best suited for industrial, automation, and edge environments that require expanded I/O, dual COM connectivity, and flexible integration with operational systems, while the TCD G Series is better suited for government, public sector, and regulated environments where TAA compliance and standardized, secure deployments are priorities.

Both devices are purpose-built for modern EUC environments and support leading virtual desktop platforms, including Citrix, Omnissa Horizon, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Windows 365.
