While newer models have since replaced the XD3 in the marketplace, it remains a notable example of resource-sharing technology designed for budget-conscious deployments in education, small business, and public access sectors.
By pairing a powerful NXP ARM chip with enterprise-grade PCoIP hardware decoding, NComputing has created a device that will likely outlast the servers it connects to. For architects, doctors, and financial traders working remotely, the XD3 is invisible technology—and that is the highest compliment an access device can receive. ncomputing xd3 access device
The defining characteristic of the XD3 was its use of standard Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables (Cat5e or Cat6) for connectivity. Unlike the earlier L-series devices that used USB cables (which were limited by distance and power constraints), the XD3 allowed for longer cable runs—typically up to 10 to 15 meters—providing greater flexibility in room layout.
