Breaking: Acer Unveils Altos IFP Series to Support Indonesia’s Education Digitization Push
In a decisive move to accelerate the digitization of classrooms, Acer today announced the Altos Interactive Flat Panel Series is now widely available across Indonesia. The platform is designed to serve as the central hub for teaching and collaboration in modern learning environments.
The Altos IFP Series centers on an interactive whiteboard that teachers can write on,draw,correct,and provide real-time feedback directly on the screen. The accompanying software supports dividing the display into multiple work areas,enabling several groups to work on questions or discussions concurrently. An unlimited writing area wiht zoom expands space for explanations.
For broader collaboration, Acer’s Eshare Pro Wireless Projection enables screen sharing from multiple devices without cables and supports collaboration on up to nine screens at once. Additional features include digital voting, screen recording, smartphone synchronization, and cloud storage. Materials can be shared quickly via QR codes.
In terms of user comfort and health, the Altos IFP Series carries TÜV Rheinland certification and features flickerless technology, BlueLightShield Pro, and an anti-glare coating designed to reduce eye fatigue during long sessions.
Acer notes that the Altos IFP Series meets the Domestic Component Level threshold, achieving more than 42 percent domestic content for each variant, bolstering the company’s initiative to promote locally produced technology in education.
The Altos IFP Series is rolling out through Acer’s authorized sales network across Indonesia, aligning with the broader drive to digitize learning. As schools seek more digital-native tools, could interactive panels like Altos soon become the standard?
