M1 & G1 Micro Docks

After the success of the Jumpseat Keyboard, iKey saw an opportunity to provide expanded IO and charging for the M1 and G1 tablets, without the overhead of the full keyboard. Pump was able to highly leverage the attachment architecture from the keyboards, to develop secure docking solutions with expanded connectivity.

Because the attachment mechanisms were developed with flexibility in mind, Pump was able to quickly develop, prototype, test, and deploy the docks. Not only did the design scale, but we were able to reuse many parts and hardware from the keyboards to reduce cost, and time to market for two entirely new products.
