Sleek and stylish, the feature-rich 11.6” thin and light notebook design will be unveiled at the Sequans booth during 4G World in Chicago, September 15-18
Taipei, Taiwan, 10 September 2009 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today announced the availability of the new VIA eNote Turnkey Solution, a thin and light notebook that strikes the perfect balance between netbook ultra-portability and notebook performance and functionality. The snappy 11.6” design, which incorporates both state-of-the art WiMAX and Wi-Fi connectivity, will be demo’d from September 15-18 at 4G World in Chicago in Sequans’ booth, number 423.
The VIA eNote Turnkey Solution’s Mobile WiMAX chip is provided by Sequans Communications, the leading supplier of chips for the WiMAX market. Sequans technology delivers high throughput with low power consumption using Sequans mimoMAX™ technology, which combines a maximum likelihood decoder on the downlink with two transmitters (2Tx) on the uplink - a unique feature that can significantly improve link budget and greatly enhance coverage and capacity.
“The VIA eNote Turnkey Solution is one of the most advanced mobile notebooks in the world,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “It incorporates all the features one would expect in a state-of-the-art ultra mobile product, plus all the connectivity options that users need to experience truly high speed connectivity anywhere they go.”
“Sequans technology brings the best in mobile WiMAX connectivity to the VIA eNote Turnkey Solution,” said Richard Brown, Vice President of Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. “The result is a device that, for the first time, fuses the best features from the netbook and notebook segments resulting in a highly connected mobile product that is unmatched in both functionality and value.”
