Company Announcements

SEATTLE , May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Promethean, a leading global tech company and brand owned by Mynd.ai, Inc. (NYSE American: MYND), has partnered with Google to develop and launch a new Chromebox OPS compute device that pairs effortlessly with Promethean's interactive flat panel displays (IFPDs).

The new Promethean Chromebox OPS turns large interactive touchscreens into ChromeOS devices. The simple plug-in device offers a supported and certified ChromeOS experience without navigating cables or requiring educators to take extra steps when accessing files and content.

"Installing the new Chromebox OPS is simple because it fits right into an ActivPanel, giving ChromeOS users a more straightforward, intuitive experience," said Lance Solomon, chief product officer at Promethean. "Not only will customers have an upgraded ChromeOS experience, but they can also extend the life of their hardware purchases."

Unlike traditional embedded solutions, users can upgrade or replace the compute device as technology evolves without updating the panel for a highly adaptable investment for any school or district.

IT administrators can install ChromeOS and Promethean ActivSuite™ apps on the ChromeOS shelf for instant access to Promethean's Explain Everything web-based whiteboard, and Spinner, Timer, Annotate, and Screen Share Receiver. IT manages behind the scenes via Google Admin console and the device provides automatic updates and built-in virus protection.

As part of the ongoing partnership, the ChromeOS Experience Center (CEC) is showcasing the Promethean Chromebox OPS with the ActivPanel 10, Promethean's newest IFPD. The CEC is a hub for tech innovation and customer engagement, highlighting ChromeOS and other related technologies. Established in 2023 in San Jose, CA, the center is a valuable resource for IT staff and school administrators looking to upgrade their edtech.

Educators can also see the Promethean Chromebox OPS and ActivPanel 10 in action in booth number 2206 at ISTELive 25 in San Antonio, TX, June 29-July 2.

"We're excited to have collaborated with Google to create a seamless ChromeOS solution, continuing our journey of developing products that are easy to use and simple to maintain," Solomon said. "We look forward to sharing more and engaging with educators at the ChromeOS Experience Center and ISTELive this year."

With more than 25 years of designing and manufacturing learning and collaboration technologies, Promethean is a proven partner for digital transformation. The Promethean Chromebox OPS helps schools and higher education institutions respond to the top challenges that educators face, ensuring teachers and students can interact with content quickly and easily.
