Panasonic first announced a new range of rugged surfaced, capacitive touch sensitive whiteboards in 2009 with the launch of flagship Panaboard UB-T880. At the time the new multitouch Panaboards were described by users as ‘one of the greatest developments in IWB technology since the introduction of the first interactive whiteboards in the early 90’s’. It is an exciting time for Panasonic and Westcoast as the possibility of expansion beyond the now matured education market sector becomes a reality with the combined customer support and distribution power of both organisations.
