FastPoint Technologies, the successor company to FTG Data Systems, is one of the most innovative light pen and touch
technology companies in the world. The company is uniquely positioned in the touchscreen industry with over 17 years of direct-input device experience as a developer,
manufacturer and distributor of light pens and light pen interfaces. |
| |
| FastPoint Technologies is a privately held
company and entered the light pen market in 1983. FastPoint controls 85+% of the PC light
pen market and holds patented key proprietary rights to
the light pen and light pen interface. |
| |
| In August 1996, FTG Data Systems strengthened its
industry leadership position by acquiring
the FastPoint Light Pen manufacturing operations and
patents from its largest competitor, HEI Inc.
The company became FastPoint Technologies in March 1999. Carrying
forward the strengths of both companies, operations were
consolidated under a plan that solidly positions FastPoint
for further growth and innovative product
development with entirely new technologies in new
markets. |
| |
|
In November 2000, FastPoint established a strong partnership with a leading manufacturer of computer monitors and with the two leading manufacturers of touchscreen overlays
as a foundation for entering the touchscreen market. FastPoint shipped its first touchscreen in July 2000, and this is now the fastest growing division within the company.
|
| |
|
Since 2000, FastPoint has provided additional value to the industry with the introduction of several other touchscreen related products such as
LCD Rackmount Touchscreens,
monitor arms and mounting brackets, and point of sale / card reader bracket kits.
|
| |
|
Continuing its history of innovation, FastPoint introduced a dual-microprocessor touchscreen controller in September 2001. The product is unique in that it supports both
USB and serial-port communications and provides automatic port sensing and switchover.
|
| |
| FastPoint Technologies sells directly to
end-users, dealers, developers, distributors, OEM
manufacturers and VARS worldwide. In addition, FastPoint
products are supported through distribution partnerships
in Canada, Europe, and Japan. |

| FastPoint Technologies prides itself on service
