UDS Enterprise 1.7 incorporates an on-screen keyboard when accessing to our virtual desktop using any mobile OS, thanks to the incorporation of Guacamole’s latest enhancements.

The incorporation of this keyboard joins the list of new features included in the next version of UDS Enterprise, which will be released at the end of Q1 of this year 2015.
