Education technology leader LG Electronics USA has unveiled its new LG Chromebox OPS (Open Pluggable Specification) device designed exclusively for the LG CreateBoard. This slot-in device transforms LG’s interactive flat panel display into a powerful, large-format ChromeOS device, enabling educators to seamlessly leverage high-engagement learning tools available on ChromeOS and Google for Education. LG introduced the new solution at ISTELive 2025 in Booth #3524 at the Henry B. González Convention Center.
“The new LG Chromebox OPS is purpose-built to work effortlessly with the LG CreateBoard,” said Victoria Sanville, education director at LG Electronics USA. “This slot-in device delivers a smart, fast, and secure operating system that empowers educators with instant access to Google for Education and ChromeOS tools, simplifying interactive whiteboard deployment and creating new opportunities for collaboration and content sharing in the classroom.”
Engineered with security at its core, the LG Chromebox OPS includes verified boot, a dedicated security chip and automatic system updates, including BIOS/UEFI firmware. (Update procedures vary by model and require admin management.) ChromeOS also automatically encrypts user data, with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) securing encryption keys at the hardware level.
In addition to its deep integration with Google for Education, the OPS device supports Windows virtual machines via Google Play and Android™ apps, and the Linux development environment. It also enables key IT features such as zero-touch enrollment, forced re-enrollment, Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP), and OS rollback. Furthermore, Google for Education brings the best of Google to education, equipping schools and educators with tools and resources to help transform teaching and learning, so that every student can realize their full learning potential.
