New product from HCL Infosystems

HCL Infosystems announced the introduction of an innovative product `RP2 System', which provides continuous power to a desktop for about 8 hours, after the power supply is disrupted. The RP2 which comes linked to a car battery is being bundled with the entire range of HCL Desktop PCs, according to Ajai Chowdhry, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Announcing the all India launch of the product, Mr. Chowdhry said here on Thursday that they chose a `IT state (Andhra Pradesh)' to launch the path-breaking technology, which was expected to play a crucial role in the company's vision of `IT for the masses'.

The RP2 has been conceived by the HCL Labs at Pondicherry and designed for the Indian market.

If the car battery was fully charged, the RP2 system would ensure uninterrupted PC performance in all environments and conditions for 8 hours, he said.

HCL, which sells about four lakh PCs, is confident that it can push the product in rural areas with this technology, and increase PC penetration.

It has a 14 per cent national market share and 20 per cent share in Andhra Pradesh.
