HANNOVER, Germany-Toshiba Europe GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Toshiba Corp., launched its Toshiba Mobile Office solution, a wireless network Internet solution for mobile professionals and small or home office customers.
The Toshiba Mobile Office is a broadband-backed wireless network for access in public places like airports, conference centers, cafes, hotels and other high-traffic environments.
Current users of Toshiba’s notebooks with built-in Wi-Fi networking features, or of Toshiba’s wireless LAN PC card for notebooks without built-in Wi-Fi networking, can access the Toshiba Mobile Office. The Toshiba Wireless Broadband Gateway also enables deployment of Wi-Fi based networks. In addition, Toshiba plans to offer a Wireless Network Pack that includes either the LAN PC cards or the notebooks that will make it easy for small or home office owners to set up a Toshiba Mobile Office network.
Toshiba also announced a strategic alliance with HereUare Communication Inc.
“We have integrated HereUare’s eCoinBox technology into the Toshiba Wireless Broadband Gateway,” explained Willem Poterman of Toshiba. “The inclusion of the eCoinBox allows networks to be deployed using Toshiba’s Wireless Broadband Gateway to become part of the hereUare global wireless network.”
