Toshiba laptops to have Ericsson broadband

Ericsson is to provide built-in broadband support for Toshiba's range of business laptops.

The Stockholm-based telecoms provider claims its High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) mobile broadband modules offer data rates of up to 7.2 megabits per second (Mb/s) in the downlink and up to two Mb/s in the uplink.

Thomas Teckentrup, general manager at Toshiba Computer Systems Division Europe said: "Through this partnership, we will create products that are greatly beneficial to our customers, assisting them in every aspect of their business lives."

Toshiba laptops equipped with the modules, which also include a GPS receiver, are expected to be released in the second half of 2008.

Several new additions to the Toshiba Satellite range of laptops were recently unveiled by the company.

The Satellite P300, A300, M300 and U400 feature Toshiba Face Recognition software, a built-in FM tuner and sleep-and-charge USB ports, enabling gadgets to be charged whether the laptop is switched on or off or in hibernation mode.
