Wyse Technology is a manufacturer of thin client hardware and software. It was founded in 1981 by Garwing Wu, Bernard Tse, and Grace Tse. Its headquarters are in San Jose, California. The company became famous in the 1980s as a manufacturer of character terminals. Most of these terminals can emulate several other terminal types in addition to their native escape sequences. People may recognize these terminals as those used with older library information systems.

  • Wyse Technology is a manufacturer of thin client hardware and software. It was founded in 1981 by Garwing Wu, Bernard Tse, and Grace Tse. Its headquarters are in San Jose, California. The company became famous in the 1980s as a manufacturer of character terminals. Most of these terminals can emulate several other terminal types in addition to their native escape sequences. People may recognize these terminals as those used with older library information systems. The Wyse 99GT and 160 terminals added graphical capability through Tektronix 4014 emulation. In 1984, Wyse entered the personal computer marketplace. The first of these was the Wyse 1000, a computer based on the Intel 80186 (which did not see huge volumes due to poor compatibility with the 8088). Next came the WYSEpc, an IBM-compatible computer based on the 8088 processor, which had a good following due to its slimline design. Later, Wyse introduced personal computers compatible with the IBM AT based on the 80286 and 80386, which were top sellers. WYSE sold through 2-tier distribution, which limited growth in the late 1980s as mail order companies like Dell and Gateway entered the marketplace. Wyse was also an early innovator in off-shore electronics production with its products being built in Taiwan in company owned facilities. Since the late 1990s, the company's primary business has been the manufacture of thin clients under the Winterm brand name. These machines differ from the traditional text-mode terminals that made the company famous in that they support modern GUI applications using a mouse and windowing systems. The clients are able to access these applications using protocols that send drawing commands or raw pixel data (instead of strings of text characters) over the data connection. Because of the greater bandwidth this requires these machines typically use ethernet connections to the server, rather than the RS-232 links used in the past.
