Gateway moves into digital projector market

 


Gateway said on Monday it will introduce two digital projects in the second quarter as the personal computer maker diversifies its product line further, part of its strategy to try to halt more than two years of revenue declines.

Gateway said the two projectors, the Gateway Model 205 SVGA and the Gateway Model 210 XGA, are aimed at the small- and-medium-size business and education markets. The projectors each weigh 3.5 pounds and have the dimensions of a medium-sized book about 2.5 inches thick.

Gateway is not making the projectors itself and has engaged a contract electronics manufacturer to produce them. A Gateway spokeswoman declined to name the manufacturer.

The projector announcement come on the heels of Gateway's third restructuring since 2000. The company said on March 17 it would reduce its staff of 11,100 by 17 percent, or 1,900 positions, and close more than a quarter of its remaining 80 retail stores.
