The RX-300 device (back and Magenta chassis) caters to Windows users using vSpace, and connects using our vSpace software and our proprietary UXP connection protocol.







The RX-RDP device (back and Blue chassis) caters to Windows users using the RDP protocol. 









The RX-HDX device (Black and green chassis) caters to Citrix users using HDX.
