In recent years, remote working has become the norm for many professionals operating in a wide range of different sectors. To take full advantage of the convenience and flexibility this brings, secure and convenient remote access to the systems they need to do their jobs has become mission-critical.

That’s where workplace solutions pioneer - WEYTEC comes in. The Swiss-based IT company has developed a new software receiver, smartREMOTE, aimed at offering secure and flexible remote access to workplace environments in a range of configurations.

WEYTEC’s innovative turnkey solution

Designed for installation on a PC, smartREMOTE acts as an interface between external and WDP environments and enables the display of workstation images over an Ethernet IP-based network. The smart solution is the next step in extender technology from WEYTEC that offers significant benefits in terms of flexibility and useability.

Compatibility is a major asset of smartREMOTE. The solution is fully compatible with WDP MX®, WEYTEC’s innovative turnkey solution. Professionals can use smartREMOTE to work with WDP MX® sources on a local or remote basis via remote desktop solutions, such as RDP and VNC.

Installing and accessing smartREMOTE

The software supports many different network topologies and is independent of specific host vendors

External access to WDP sources is possible via a remote connection to a smartREMOTE application installed on a host. Customers can provide their own hosts for installing and accessing smartREMOTE, subject to system requirements.

The software supports many different network topologies and is independent of specific host vendors. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit version) and supports resolutions up to 3840x2160.

Concept of the smartREMOTE user interface

The operating concept of the smartREMOTE user interface is based on smartTOUCH and smartUX principles, helping users familiar with WEYTEC solutions hit the ground running and focus on operations. Registration and activation are made simple thanks to a licencing/activation-based model. 

Once they’re up and running, users can also configure settings within the smartREMOTE application, create shortcuts, and define direct workstations to suit their own specific requirements. The result is a smart remote solution that meets workers where they are.
