OpenPeak Secures $52 Million to Expand Touch-Screen Multimedia Hardware, Software and Services Platform

Financing Package includes Existing Investors, Intel Capital, Horizon Technology Finance, Velocity Financial Group and GE Capital



BOCA RATON, FL — OpenPeak Inc., a leading provider of multimedia touch-screen devices and device management platforms, announced today that the company has secured an additional $52 million of financing from existing investors and Intel Capital, Intel Corporation’s global investment organization. Debt financing from Horizon Technology Finance and Velocity Financial Group and a distribution finance and working capital line from GE Capital’s Commercial Distribution Finance unit complete the package. The combination of equity, debt and working capital will enable OpenPeak to expand its successful hardware, software, and services platform to capitalize on new opportunities in both consumer and enterprise markets.
“Our investors recognize the incredible potential for OpenPeak’s unique hardware, software and services platform to revolutionize business and consumer communications,” said Dan Gittleman, CEO of OpenPeak. “This funding will provide the resources necessary to expand both our products and our markets as we continue to evolve our technology and services to meet the growing demand for our touch-screen multimedia devices and device management platform.”
"New usage models and innovative mobile form factors are enhancing the way the world consumes content, and are a strategic focus for Intel Capital,” said Arvind Sodhani, president of Intel Capital and Intel executive vice president. “OpenPeak’s hardware, software and services harness the capabilities of the Intel Atom processor, creating new mobile, digital home and embedded products in a variety of vertical market segments.”
The company’s recently announced OpenTablet™ 7 is an ultra-sleek, portable, touch-screen device that combines high-quality telephony with advanced multimedia communications services and applications to deliver an engaging, interactive experience designed for in-home, office and hospitality use. With the addition of OpenPeak’s available energy management solution, the OpenTablet becomes a full-service home or office communications and energy system command center.
The OpenTablet 7 is based on the Intel® Atom™ processor-based platform (formerly "Moorestown") which delivers outstanding performance at low power. The device features a high-resolution 7-inch multi-touch TFT LCD screen with LED backlighting, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and cellular connectivity, HDMI output and dual cameras for capturing both high-definition video and still images, as well as built-in speakers and microphone.
In addition to its groundbreaking devices, OpenPeak’s complementary software framework enables designers and developers to create highly interactive applications. Integrated device management services allow providers to remotely provision, monitor and update customer devices on demand over broadband networks to ensure the delivery of the most up-to-date services and software.

A fully partitioned, white label application shop provides revenue sharing models and content availability controls, allowing service providers to deliver the most popular multimedia applications directly to a family of devices.
