Organize deployments in single or multiple sites with one software solution that simplifies management tasks including firmware updates, configuration changes, device resets and more.
By allowing administrators to access and manage all RX420(HDX) devices from a single location, regardless of the size or number of deployment sites, we dramatically reduce the administrative overhead needed to maintain and control their environment.
Session roaming and screen casting to the workspace hub is supported on these versions of the Citrix Workspace app.
Citrix Casting and proximity authentication
The RX420(HDX) Citrix Ready workspace hub is a secure, powerful and low cost enterprise thin client & IoT hub that transforms the workplace.
Improve employee productivity with session roaming and screen casting, allowing a Citrix session to pass from a mobile device to the workspace hub, or redirect the display from their device to an unoccupied workspace hub connected to the TV in the conference room.
NATIVE DUAL MONITOR DISPLAY
The new RX420(HDX) thin client comes with premium performance and native dual display support, with resolutions up to 4K @60Hz or dual display configurations of up to 4K@30Hz.
Skype® for Business Optimization

Users can seamlessly participate in audio-video or audio-only calls to and from other HDX RealTime Media Engine users, native Skype for Business, and other standards-based desktop video and conference room systems.
Flexible Endpoint and IoT Hub
RX420 (HDX) provides flexible endpoint deployment with built-in Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band 2.4/5Ghz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n/ac) with 802.1x connectivity.
These endpoints are also IoT edge devices, part of the Citrix Workspace IoT. Using Azure Edge technology it is capable of executing workflow automation.
BROAD USB PERIPHERAL SUPPORT
RX420(HDX) allows transparent redirection of USB peripheral devices including mass storage, printers, scanners, smart card readers, headsets or speakers, webcams, COM ports, and 3D mice in addition to the standard keyboard and mouse. Network-connected printers can also be redirected to Citrix sessions.

FAQ
The only difference between these devices is RAM. RX420 has 2GB of RAM and is sufficient for normal operation. RX440 has 4GB of RAM, and is recommended for use cases that rely heavily on the local Chromium browser with multiple open tabs.
For virtualization, 2GB of RAM is plenty and is the standard amount in all of the RX-420 devices. In certain circumstances, more RAM can be advantageous, specifically if your use case requires heavy use of the local Chromium browser. An example of this would be keeping many browser tabs open at once, playing multimedia content, or accessing the web version of Microsoft Teams for video calls. For these cases we have the RX-440 devices. These devices are identical to RX-420 except for the inclusion of 4GB of RAM. These devices are available for direct order only. For more information, please contact your NComputing representative.
