855 DEVONtechnologies, LLC presents a world-wide license for its remote desktop solution Desktop Transporter for $199.95 USD. While the regular Desktop Transporter license is valid for two machines (the walkie-talkie concept) many users requested a more cost-effective license for larger installations. The new Unlimited Pack license allows to use Desktop Transporter world-wide within an organization and is immediately available from the DEVONtechnologies online shop for $199.95 USD.

Desktop Transporter is a remote desktop solution that allows users to use other Macs on either the local network or the Internet without physically accessing them. Like the much more expensive Apple Remote Desktop, Desktop Transporter shows the screen of the remote Mac either in a window or in full screen and allows the user to interact with the other computer as if it was the local one.

A menu extra makes it possible to access remote Macs without launching the main Desktop Transporter application, while a background helper application takes care of sharing desktops even when the menu extra and main application are not running. Using Bonjour, the presence of a shared Mac on the local network is made known, making it unnecessary to pass IP addresses around. In addition, Desktop Transporter 'survives' Fast User Switching. A shared desktop remains shared even if the user switches to another user account.

Other features of Desktop Transporter, which is optimized for both Intel and PowerPC bases Macs, include: Clipboard synchronization for text and graphics in both directions, hardware acceleration, and support for non-English keyboards. The latter is one of the main drawbacks of free solutions such as VNC when used outside English-speaking countries.

Desktop Transporter was developed by Norwegian Mac developer Daniel Stodle and it is distributed by DEVONtechnologies, LLC. All rights on Desktop Transporter remain with Daniel Stodle.

Desktop Transporter requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 later, a fast LAN and/or Internet connection is recommended.
