Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)

Surface Acoustic Wave technology is one of the most advanced touchscreen types. It is based on sending acoustic waves across a clear glass panel with a series of transducers and reflectors. When a finger touches the screen, the waves are absorbed, causing a touch event to be detected at that point. Because the panel is all glass there are no layers that can be worn, giving this technology the highest durability factor and also the highest clarity.

This technology is recommended for public information kiosks, computer based training, or other high traffic indoor environments.


Advantages
- High touch resolution
- Highest image clarity
- All glass panel, no coatings or layers that can wear out or damage
