. . . . the Secured Professional Intranet and Internet Browser . . . .
ULTIMedia's E-Spot
is a gateway to a local or remote network (LAN/intranet or Extranet/Internet). E-Spot provides a control over the browsing on such networks: although similar to a standard web browser, it prohibits any action outside the framework defined by the administrator.
Thanks to its multiple configuration possibilities, the E-Spot browser is the safest and most efficient consulting solution for application cases involving a restricted access to data and effective system protection, be it for free or for a fee through payment cards, coins, etc.
With its advanced features of browsing control and with remote control, E-Spot provides administrators/operators of public information networks (intranet / extranet, information kiosks, interactive terminals, cybercafés...) optimal security for their data and systems while giving users safe and easy browsing through a clear and intuitive interface.
E-Spot allows browsing in a wide range of uses (training, trade shows, interactive terminals, net café, exhibitions, tourist sites etc.). It is fully compatible with and provides identical services as Microsoft Internet Explorer (HTML, Java scripts, plug-ins, ActiveX, etc.)
Its numerous security features guarantee safe operation in a public setting: controlled internet / intranet browsing and mandatory application. These features can easily be set through clear and exhaustive configuration screens. The user interface is customizable, as items to be displayed can be selected or deselected.
The range of settings allow for precise management of security, connection channels, timers and specific devices. Depending on the application domain, various options of card readers are available (smart, magnetic, barcode, virtual, etc.) This allows for the management of restricted use with respect to different card holders or of pay per time features.
A coin or bill interface is also available. Reporting on statistics, browsing history and a log of events are generated by the application and are accessible via a LAN or remote access.
Under Netspot large deployments, the Cerberus integrated module allows for setting an online administration platform for the advanced management of several E-Spot browsers. Cerberus is controlled remotely by an administrator via Netspot, monitoring the browser configuration to which it relates and providing updates when necessary. In case of operational malfunction it will reset and restart the software.
About ULTIMedia / AGORA Studio / E-Spot: ULTIMedia designs, manufactures and markets a global offer of interactive terminals and information screens, and offers a wide range of complementary services from the secured Internet browser to accessories dedicated to interactive technologies and other terminal application software.
In an endeavour to distance itself from its competitors, ULTIMedia bases its strategy on “the function of the object in correlation with the environment”. A unique concept that has enabled it to develop the widest range of interactive terminals in the world. Today the company offers a choice of over 70 unique, exclusive models, most of which are available in stock. Whether for indoor or outdoor use, compact or more High-Tech, the ULTIMedia interactive terminal combines design, aestheticism and quality, never losing sight of the demands of this century. If the customer fails to find his or her solution in the 70 models offered, one will be made to order, with the incomparable skills and experience of ULTIMedia.
It would seem that there is only one step from the architecture to the interactive terminals, the step taken by Eric Dumouchel, (Creator of ULTIMedia), a man with a personality bubbling with activity and teeming with ideas. Architect and designer, he has an impressive record of achievements, thanks to his talent, his training (ENSAD and ESAG) and his energy, his creativity, his sense of what is functional and the control of the industrial process. In 1987, he founded his agency as an architect, the ED agency.
With a passion for new technologies and encouraged by an incredible ability to create and generate ideas, he takes an interest in “everything that is in the forefront, especially new computer technologies, everything that stimulates the spirit without ever cutting off ties with reality”. It is therefore perfectly natural that he has used interactive technologies since 1987 to present his architectural projects, together with the hyper-realist 3D virtual animations, which at that time were pioneering tools. Around 1990 Eric Dumouchel found himself entrusted with the development of a variable-geometry mobile unit containing the first interactive touch screens. He devised a ready-made solution for this 12 meter-long mobile unit (80 square meters, spread out), which in a way was his first giant terminal.
Eric Dumouchel makes a point of never separating what is functional from what is aesthetic, but rather of blending both concepts through action, a challenge he met with ULTIMedia, which he created in 1997.
