"This is just to thank you for the excellent service - the UNIMUX-USBV-8O KVM switch that I ordered arrived very quickly with excellent packaging. The installation was very simple and it is working faultlessly. The experience with your company has been very good and we will continue to purchase our KVM solutions from NTI."

"I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much we love our new UNIMUX™ system. We are a multimedia graphics and presentation company and in the course of our work we end up with some unique needs. A recent show for A&E networks is a good example. We needed to have eight computer laptops running four different power point presentations that would be displayed on eight plasma screens and be in sync with each other. Your UNIMUX-USBV-8O USB KVM Switch did the job of controlling the eight laptops in perfect sync beautifully. We're happy to add the UNIMUX switch to our inventory and look forward to using it again. Thank you for all your assistance in helping me choose and purchase the unit."
