Compact rugged wireless USB keyboard introduced for emergency services

Bytec Embedded, the embedded equipment manufacturer of the Bytec Group, has launched an advanced small footprint, wireless, USB keyboard for demanding emergency services environments. Suitable for static and in-vehicle applications, the second generation Indi-KeyTM keyboard offers wipe-clean surfaces, improved key response and feel, a wider touchpad and an optional numeric keypad.

Designed for use where space and reliability is critical, the IP65-rated Indi-Key has been constructed with a silver ion antibacterial agent acting as a secondary defence to address increasing awareness of the spread of infection and cross-contamination. The wireless dock enables quick replacement of a used keyboard with a newly-cleaned one without the need for any user set-up.

The addition of a PC-based application enables the keyboard to be reprogrammed for easy on-site upgrades without special programming equipment, ideal for changing keycodes or adding hidden functionality for example, enabling application specific customisation of the Indi-Key.

The ergonomic keyboard features fold-flat keys for fast cleaning and has a lighter feel with a more tactile response, plus the option of an integrated numeric pad for faster data input. The addition of a 29 per cent larger touchpad provides a familiar interface that is easy to use and clean, with no grooves or dirt traps.

With a typical operating life of six hours, battery life is further preserved with a 15 minute sleep mode. Three levels of red backlit illumination enable the keys to be visible in all light conditions.
