PC with Bluetooth and IEEE802.11a/b wireless communication features

摘要

Bluetooth and IEEE802.11b are wireless technologies utilizing the 2.4 GHz band, while IEEE802.11a is a wireless technology utilizing the 5 GHz band. Toshiba has already shipped notebook PCs with integrated Bluetooth technology for low-speed wireless peripheral devices such as mouse, printer, and mobile phone, and/or integrated IEEE802.11b wireless LAN technology enabling Internet access at the office, at home, and in public areas. As the wireless market grows, the possibility of interference in simultaneous Bluetooth and IEEE802.11b operation has become an issue attracting attention and market demand for higher speed Internet access using IEEE802.11a wireless LAN technology has risen. Toshiba has therefore developed a PC integrating the three wireless technologies (Bluetooth, IEEE802.11b, and IEEE802.11a) with the aim of solving such issues and satisfying the market demand.
