The EarthWalk Advantage for Mobile Computer Labs
There are many differences between a "Mobile Computer Lab" and a "laptop storage cart" -
the main difference is that laptop storage carts simply store laptops, while EarthWalk's wireless mobile computer labs empower teachers to teach and student to learn by allowing ALL DAY USE
of their laptops.
Standard laptop storage carts use power strips and the laptop's AC adapter (power brick)
to charge the laptop battery. EarthWalk's mobile labs use an integrated, high-efficiency laptop charging system that's 85% more energy efficient, can securely store and simultaneously charge up to 32 laptops (the best in the industry), charge an additional 32 batteries, and run all peripherals from one standard wall outlet...WITHOUT BLOWING A FUSE!
Power Efficiency - Keep the Lights on Without Blowing a Fuse!
EarthWalk is a pioneer of wireless mobile computer labs and a leader in "PowerSmart" Technology Solutions around the world. The evolution of these Eco-Friendly Solutions are a reflection of our continuous collaboration with K-12 school administrators and teachers, and a strong commitment to meeting the challenges they face when integrating technology into their classrooms.
EarthWalk has focused on the power needs of today's (and tomorrow's) classroom environment and developed integrated, high-efficiency, power system solutions that allow you to power as many computer labs without blowing a fuse!
• One-Plug Power Management - allows you to power the whole cart (including peripherals)
from ONE standard wall outlet
• Laptop Charging - recharges most brands of laptops while not in use
• Battery Charging - allows for ALL DAY use of laptops
All of these power solutons can be integrated into each of our high-efficiency, eco-friendly mobile computer labs. These labs require 85% less electrical capacity than other labs on the market, and all mobile labs can be configured with existing technology.
BatteryBay Charging System Technology This charging system allows users to quickly and effortlessly "Quick Swap" their internal laptop batteries. The BatteryBay allows for continuous eBuddy laptop operation by simultaneously recharging up to 32 Lithium-Ion batteries.
SideKick PowerPack Battery Technology This exclusive technology provides the world's first "ALL DAY" universal battery power solution for most brands of laptops. When configured with either the PowerStation Charger for our mobile labs or the standalone eCharger Caddy, the SideKick PowerPack Solution provides laptop users 6-10 hours of power usage from one charge - that's 2-3 times the "capacity and lifespan" of standard laptop batteries!
From our ultimate SmartCart, to the FlexCart and Mini+Max series or the eXpress case series, EarthWalk can configure any of these mobile lab solutions to fit your needs. Our mobile labs eliminate the need for a dedicated computer classroom by offering the convenience of bringing the computer lab to the user — meaning more instructional time without interruption.
Durability eBuddy Semi-rugged Laptops Our eBuddy semi-rugged, wireless laptops are engineered to withstand the rigors of everyday use including accidental drops and spills, and include efficient battery charging that allow for ALL DAY, continuous/uninterrupted use without the expense of a fully ruggedized unit or unlike fixed desktop computers that can prove to be costly as wear and tear of everyday use can lead to frequent, costly repair or replacement.
Smart/Flexible/Maximizing/Mobile All of our moble lab solutions (SmartCart, FlexCart, Mini-Max, eXpress) are designed as fully integrated systems that incorporate wireless networking and battery/laptop charging with solid construction that is secure, lightweight and durable.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership At EarthWalk, we know how expensive it is for schools and organizations to buy, deploy and maintain technology. That is why we do not build in obsolescence. From our mobile lab solutions to our power management and battery charging system, we allow our customers to integrate their existing technology — resulting in cost savings. Additionally, there's no need to upgrade existing electrical infrastructure — including dedicated wiring and circuitry as well as cooling system upgrades.
