IGEL Technology (Bremen, Germany) announced a project to incorporate an embedded Linux based upgrade into IBM terminals for Trost, one of Germany's largest auto parts suppliers.

According to IGEL, its “Embedded Flash Linux” operating system upgrade will convert the recently-discontinued IBM NetVista terminals into Thin Client devices, and will facilitate the addition of functions such as wireless LAN, 122-key keyboard support, and Internet browsers, including Java Virtual Machine (JVM), depending on the requirement.

IGEL Technology is a maker of Linux-based Thin Client terminals, and is a member of the 200-year-old Melchers group.
