The technology of choice
for the wireless world
Since 1985, Toshiba has pioneered generation after generation of mobile computers,
each more portable, more capable and more empowering than its predecessor.
Now the launch of Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology introduces a comprehensive set
of features that significantly advances Toshiba’s vision of infinite mobility.
The new Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology is a
revolution in wireless mobility. Built from the ground
up for notebook PCs, it combines for the first time
a mobile-specific CPU and chipset with integrated
Wireless LAN capability.
Breakthrough mobile performance
Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology is based on
a new mobile-optimised microarchitecture that
executes instructions faster, providing blazingly
quick performance at lower power. It is designed
not only to run today’s processor-intensive
applications but also to give the performance
headroom to handle tomorrow’s even more
demanding software.
Integrated Wireless LAN
To enable totally seamless mobile connectivity,
Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology includes single
and dual band Wireless LAN, supporting
connection to either 802.11b or 802.11a/b Wi-Fi™
compliant networks. Intel® PROSet software senses
which type of network is currently available as the
user moves around a wireless environment, and
automatically switches to the appropriate one.
An innovative wireless co-existence system also
reduces interference between W-LAN and Bluetooth™
devices that compete in the same frequency.
Intel
Centrino™
This unique combination enables breakthrough
performance on the go, extended battery life,
improved wireless capabilities and thinner, lighter
form factors – the four areas identified by notebook
users as key to an optimised mobile experience.
The result sets a new benchmark for mobile
productivity. Which is why Toshiba has incorporated
Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology into all its
business notebook series. Every business will
benefit from more efficient use of time and
resources. Better service for customers and
improved work/life balance for employees.
An ‘in-the-office’ experience for employees
wherever they happen to work. With Intel®
Centrino™ mobile technology on board, Toshiba
solutions give business a distinct advantage in a
competitive world.
®
Extended battery life
Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® technology with
multiple voltage and frequency operating points
results in a major reduction in power consumption,
extending battery life and working independence
for mobile users. Intelligent power distribution
focuses system power only where the processor
needs it and shuts down anything not being used.
The integrated chipset and wireless components
also include power-saving features that further
extend battery life, even as mobile performance
and capabilities increase.
For further information on the Toshiba range of mobile
solutions contact your nearest Toshiba Freedom Partner
or visit the Toshiba website: www.computers.toshiba.co.uk
Enabling more portable designs
The ultimate way to enhance mobility is to reduce
the physical form factor of a portable computer,
making it easier to carry. Intel® Centrino™ mobile
technology uses a technique called Mobile Voltage
Positioning to lower the thermal design power.
In turn, this enables higher mobile performance in
thinner and lighter notebooks. In addition, Micro
FCPGA and FCBGA packaging allows Intel®
Centrino™ mobile technology to fit into ever
smaller form factors such as Toshiba’s Portégé
R100, the ultra-thin and super-lightweight
wireless notebook.

meets all these needs.
Which is precisely what a mobile solution delivers
Intelligent mobile and wireless solutions can help to revolutionise everyday communication in a home
office or department, giving small companies maximum flexibility to run and grow their business.
The freedom to grow
Talk to anyone who has ever managed or worked
for a small business and they’ll tell you it’s a
24-hour job – always on the go, in the office,
between client visits, all day long.
What’s needed is mobile computing technology
that combines flexibility with superb performance,
quality and longevity, yet which doesn’t cost the
earth. All factors inherent in Toshiba’s notebooks
and wireless solutions.
The easier way to build a network
In the office environment, a wireless system is the
ideal way to communicate. Notebooks take up less
space, collaboration is enhanced, and it’s easier for
team members to share resources.
With no need to install an expensive wired
infrastructure, a wireless system is the more
cost-efficient way to communicate. Maintenance is
minimal
while
security
is
impressive.
‘Walk-in’ support centres also mean prompt,
reliable back-up service for your notebooks.
Get connected wirelessly – instantly
Get your wireless office up and running with Satellite
Pro M10 or Tecra S1 notebooks, featuring Intel®
Centrino™ mobile technology for optimised mobile
productivity. Both integrate a full range of
connectivity technologies, including Wireless LAN
802.11b and future-ready to run 802.11a/b.
More flexible, more cost-efficient
Toshiba’s wireless solutions offer exciting new
ways of conducting business and the promise
of significant operational benefits. They allow
any business to overlay wireless communication
capabilities onto an existing wired network at
minimal cost, freeing people to be more mobile
and productive without being tied to their desks.
Versatile PDAs such as Toshiba’s Pocket PC e350
and Pocket PC e750 are brilliant personal
productivity
tools,
putting
go-anywhere
organisation and entertainment in the palm of
your hand. The perfect complement to your
notebook, with wireless data synchronisation.
Build an instant network
At the heart of the network, use a wireless-ready
Magnia SG20 appliance server. This affordable
multi-functional solution is the simple way to share
devices and access the Internet, and can be fully
operational in 30 minutes. Or base the network
around a WRC1000 networking and routing centre
which implements wireless Internet/Intranet
access via high-speed ADSL once connected to a
broadband service.

Case Study
Case Study
In the case of Roiter Zucker
Solicitors, a high profile niche
legal practice, purchasing the
Toshiba Network Monitor with
Mutiny Onboard was an easy
decision. Being alerted to
potential network problems was
a major step in reducing network
downtime, essential to the
day-to-day operations of any
small or medium business.
According to Karen Long, IT
Manager at Roiter Zucker,
“Downtime can seriously impact
the speed at which solicitors turn
around their work and produce
physical documents. If the network
is down the secretaries’ output
can be significantly reduced.”
The Challenge
The JANET Web Caching
Network, which provides facilities
for UK universities, is a vast
system supported by 40 servers
in 3 locations. It’s used by over
150 universities daily, receiving
100+ million daily requests for
information, shipping a terabyte
of data per day. Their network is
mission critical to each university
and every student.
Solicitors have the added
pressure of working to tight
deadlines, requiring documents to
arrive at their destination strictly
on time. It is not only the fact that
deadlines have to be met, but
also that Roiter Zucker has built
up an excellent reputation and
maintaining a high level of
customer service is at the top of
its priorities. “Downtime can
affect our ability to deal with our
customers matters with the speed
and efficiency that we pride
ourselves on,” said Karen.
When Karen saw the Toshiba
Network Monitor with Mutiny
Onboard for the very first time,
she was so impressed with the
speed at which it could be
configured and the ease with
which it could be used, she knew
it was the right choice for the
company. On the day of
installation, everything went
smoothly. “There was no effect
on the network when Mutiny was
onboard and the installation
process itself required no
downtime either.”
Toshiba’s Network monitor
with Mutiny on board
Toshiba Network Monitor Solution includes hardware and software in one convenient
pre-configured package. You no longer have to order separate licenses and load software
yourself when you can easily deploy these turnkey solutions. We have teamed up with some
of the industy’s leading software partners to provide you with efficient and affordable solutions
to help you run your business. See what Toshiba has to offer you today.
Protect your business against network failure
Toshiba’s network monitor with Mutiny onboard:
alert and monitoring appliance.
Technology has become a vital tool in business,
totally transforming the way companies interact
with customers and suppliers. But imagine the
consequences if your IT system – the backbone
to most modern businesses – suddenly develops
a fault? Being without access to e-mails and
decision-making information could rapidly result
in being without clients.
Prevention is better than cure
Protection against network downtime is now a key
priority for businesses of all sizes – and for good
reason. Large corporations have been quick to
safeguard themselves by investing in monitoring
software. But for companies who don’t have the
budget nor the in-house expertise to support these
often complex and expensive solutions, the risk
of lost productivity and revenue from a failed
IT system remains real.
Prime network performance, 24/7
Introducing Toshiba’s network monitor with Mutiny
onboard – an effective and affordable appliance
designed to give small and mid-size companies
total peace of mind in preserving their systems, 24/7.
This must-have solution anticipates weaknesses
in a network before it’s too late. By constantly
scanning the IT infrastructure and any connected
hardware, Toshiba’s network monitor hunts for
potential hazards that could trigger system paralysis
as well as providing powerful analysis data to
aid planning.
Failure is not an option
Installation is simple and fast (less than four hours),
and doesn’t require the system to be shut-down.
Once in place, you can see the full picture of your
network with easy-to-understand reports accessed
The Comment
Tim Robinson, Head of
Manchester Computing, explains,
“We have been under enormous
pressure to maintain the network
and investment in network
monitoring has meant that our
team are no longer reactive to
downtime and faults. We can now
concentrate on optimising and
improving what we have, rather
than running round plugging holes.”
via intuitive web-based interfaces. Red, amber and
green coding indicates real-time status of areas
such as disk space, hard drives and applications.
If a fault is detected, you have the option for
automatic alerts to be transmitted remotely via
email and/or SMS so that remedial action can
begin straight away, avoiding the chaos of a
collapsed network later.
Remote control
Perhaps you’d prefer to be free of this responsibility
altogether, but still want the assurances offered
by a monitoring solution? If so, our highly-trained
network of authorised Resellers can host and
manage this service remotely on your behalf.
You can still view the performance of your network
on-line, but the onus of predicting and resolving
any problems rest with us.
Combine wired and wireless networking for reduced TCO: here, Magnia Z310 and Magnia 3300
servers support wireless notebooks and desktop PCs.
Main benefits to business:
• Rapid and tangible ROI – prevention of just one
network failure can enable this solution to pay
for itself

In an increasingly mobile working world, 24/7 access to information
is of paramount importance.
Today’s workforce is spending more time on the
move, waiting in transit lounges, working in hotel
rooms. At the same time, reliance on the Internet as
the principal information and communication
medium is creating a huge demand for 24/7 access.
Properly implemented, working out of the office
brings far-reaching benefits. Such as access to
company data in real-time, anywhere and everywhere,

How to work outside of the office
And take it with you
In the future, the freedom of movement enjoyed by your staff will determine
the success of your business.
The better-connected business traveller
The ‘road warriors’ of the late 20th century were a
special breed of executive who spent more time on
the road than in the office. And for years, these
road warriors – early adopters of mobile notebook
and phone technology – were set apart by their
unique IT requirements.
Get connected everywhere
Business people on the move can also benefit from
broadband access to their corporate network and
the Internet via Wireless LAN public access service
points, provided by independent service providers.
Sited in an increasing number of key travel locations
across Europe, including airports, conference
centres, train stations and motorway service areas,
these Hot Spots automatically connect a Wireless
LAN-enabled notebook or Pocket PC when within
range. Broadband technology transfers data at
massive speed.
More mobile means more productive
While the average business person now spends up
to 40 % of their working life out of the office, there
are some professionals – such as sales executives,
consultants and field service personnel – who
spend much longer away from base. For these
people to operate at maximum efficiency all the
time, they require solutions which give them remote
access to all the resources of their office-based
IT systems.
GPRS - General Packet Radio
Services is a packet-based
wireless communication service
that promises data rates from 56
up to 114 Kbps and continuous
connection to the Internet for
mobile phone and computer users
Even when far from base, Toshiba solutions enable
people to access the most up-to-date information
on the corporate network at any time. Sales
personnel can check product availability, place
orders, and confirm delivery times, via their
notebook or Pocket PC. Simply connect wirelessly
using a GSM or GPRS mobile phone or enable your
Toshiba PDA or Notebook via an audio Vox Card.
Perfect mobility for the ultimate professional
For those serious about success, the only way to
be constantly contactable is to connect your laptop
to GPRS. This exclusive ‘always on’ technology offers
you true, uninterrupted access to your choice of
information, giving you the competitive advantage
when it matters.
Fast facts
With a GPRS-enabled portable PC, you can
securely access the Internet, e-mail and your
company network direct – anytime, anywhere.
Information exchange is fast at up to 56kbps (five
times quicker than GSM and comparable to a fixed
line modem).
Switch on a notebook or PDA within range of a public access service point to automatically
connect to the Internet or your corporate network.
Hotspots:
Technology that travels: GPRS
Access to information where it’s needed most
Built-in wireless connectivity means the Satellite
Pro, Tecra and Portégé series provide easy access
to the home or client’s network. They let users
exchange electronic business cards at the touch of
a button. Or download relevant information and
data directly to a client’s computer across the desk.
Hot Spot
Toshiba provides systems that precisely meet these
needs. Solutions that give mobile personnel fulltime access to the latest company information
while on the client’s premises. That let them action
decisions just made in the client’s meeting room.
That enable them to deliver inspiring wireless
presentations. In short, to give the type of impressive
performance that wins or retains business.
Constant connection with GPRS
Applications such as e-mail can remain permanently
on-line, enabling a swift response to an important
customer request. Wherever you’re able to make a
mobile phone call, with GPRS you’ll never again
waste time tracking down a phone socket, waiting
to re-establish a connection or searching for a
public-access wireless hotspot. Such efficiency will
undoubtedly enhance your professional image and
your productivity.
A smart move when on the move
Wherever business takes you, your Toshiba
notebook with GPRS connectivity maintains your
high working standards by giving you full-time
access to information – in real time.
The Business Benefits:
• Always-on connection – A simple way to get
wirelessly connected; it provides instant
communication
• Cost-effective - Charging is based on volume
of data transferred rather than length of time
• Ready to run – Minimal set-up (less than 5
minutes) before your laptop is wirelessly on-line
• High-speed data transfer – up to 56kbps,
comparable to a fixed line modem
• High levels of security – Full end-to-end security

The new movement in mobility access
There’s a revolution happening across the UK - but
you can’t see it.
It’s taking place in airports, hotels, libraries, cafés
and petrol stations – but you can’t hear it. The
members of this movement are diverse, ranging
from business executives to students. And there’s
more joining up every day…
Wireless Hotspots are fast becoming one of the
best ways to get on-line when out and about.
These unique, commercial computing zones offer
high-speed broadband access to the public for a
small fee. As a Hotspot host, benefit from business
growth. As a user, enjoy a secure and fast wireless
connection to optimise your time.
How it works
Indoors or out, once you’re within a Hotspot range,
a Toshiba Wi-Fi™ enabled PC with a suitable
software, automatically responds to the 802.11b
standard signal. An on-screen prompt asks for the
unique reference code printed on the pay-as-you-go
voucher (normally sold at the host’s premises).
Once entered, you can enjoy immediate access to
on-line information – just as you would at home or
in the office – for as long as your airtime voucher
allows. It’s as simple as that.
Who can use a Hotspot?
Anybody who owns a wireless-enabled PC. If your
time is spent dashing from one place to another,
then the emergence of public-access Hotspots
could make a big difference to your day. Use your
laptop to dynamically send and receive e-mails,
surf the Internet or safely access your company
network. The connection can be secured using a
suitable VPN technology, and the presence of WiFi™
means there’s not a plug or phone socket in sight.
Recoup lost time
How much time have you wasted on cancelled
appointments, being early for meetings, or waiting
to board a plane or train? WiFi™ Hotspots let you
turn your downtime, up. They’re strategically
located at places where you need them most: send
and receive e-mails while waiting in the transit
lounge; continue working at a café near to your
planned meeting place; log on to your company
network during break periods at a hotel conference.
Recreating your own virtual office within a Hotspot
zone will help you react faster and work smarter
than ever before.
Why host a Hotspot?
Forward-thinking enterprises are rapidly realising
the opportunities these on-line gateways offer.
For a small initial outlay, this easy-to-deploy solution
generates a new revenue stream, with obvious
appeal to SMB’s. As a host, you’ll receive a
percentage of the usage fee charged per customer.
You’ll also notice the knock-on effect of increased
footfall to your premises, boosting sales of other
goods and services.
Or perhaps you want to add value to your service
by offering visitors and clients the convenience of a
wireless access point? Either way, Hotspots add
an exciting new dimension to mobility access,
resulting in improved user productivity as well as
business profitability.

Secure Mobile Office Solution
Non-stop roaming around the world
Toshiba's secure mobile office solution loaded with
information security and mobility management
software.
Secure, uninterrupted network connection
for mobile workers
If you and your notebook spend much of your day
travelling to and from meetings, then you’ll know
how much valuable time is wasted rebooting and
changing connection settings, just so you can
perform your job properly.
It’s a roller-coaster ride for many mobile workers
trying to secure remote access to a company
network when they’re out and about. The odds of
finding a reliable IT connection to link you back to
base are low. Even if you’re lucky, you’ll still have
to acclimatise your PC each time you encounter a
different access mode, such as fixed line, wireless
or GPRS.
Network safety on the road
For secure, uninterrupted wireless connectivity –
either in the office or out on the road – turn to
Toshiba's secure mobile office solution, equipped
with VPN and mobile IP software. This powerful
combination gives portable PC users the
freedom to work where and when they choose,
without worry.
Invisible intelligence
Staff can access and receive current information
while roaming between different locations and
access modes. Mobile computing devices are
pre-installed with software that constantly search
and select the optimum choice of connection – a
process transparent to the end-user – ensuring
every electronic transaction is completed fast
and at the lowest cost. Not only is productivity
heightened, but also job-satisfaction improves as
the tedious task of co-ordinating a connection is
finally removed.
Constant communication that’s protected
Ideal for small businesses with big ambitions, this
simple-to-deploy, low cost solution guarantees
secure communications between wired, wireless
and GPRS technologies – without breaking the
connection. Choose the level of protection
required for your network to avoid the risk of
unauthorised access.
Raising the stakes for SMB’s
Highly secure, unlimited access in a wireless
setting, has, until now, been the domain of large
organisations with big budgets and IT skills to
match. But this affordable ‘out-of-the-box’ solution
enables every company, regardless of size, to enjoy
the full benefits of modern mobile working without
the torment of fickle connections.
Its scalable design ensures every working
environment – from a centralised unit to
geographically-dispersed offices – can be supported.
Who will benefit?

existing wired networks who recognise the need
to adopt mobile working. Toshiba’s solution
