VIA OpenBook mini-notes will help bring applications such as WiMAX IPTV, IMS, SIP and video surveillance to life at the Tatung University WiMAX Application Lab
Taipei, Taiwan, 21 April 2009 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today announced VIA’s participation in the Tatung University WiMAX Application Lab project that brings together industry partners and Taiwan government agencies to launch a completely WiMAX covered campus.
WiMAX coverage at Tatung University both indoors and outdoors throughout the entire campus was activated today during the ‘Open House’ launch, and the VIA Nano processor-powered VIA OpenBook mini-notes will make it possible for students and faculty to easily access and interact with WiMAX enabled applications at any time.
Projects incubated in the Tatung University WiMAX Application Lab benefit from not only a 4000-person test group but also strong partnerships with commercial businesses like VIA and Alcatel-Lucent, as well as local government agencies including the Institute for Information Industry (III).
“Driving the proliferation of connected mobile devices using leading edge technologies has long been a key priority for VIA,” said Richard Brown, Vice President of International Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. “VIA is proud to sponsor VIA OpenBook mini-notes for the Tatung University WiMAX Application Lab to help further that goal.”
At the ‘Open House’ today, the Tatung University WiMAX Application Lab demonstrated important strengths of WiMAX functionality including mobile coverage (since part of Taipei's subway system passes through the WiMAX enabled zone), indoor coverage, beamforming, throughput and handover coverage. Applications running over the network shown included WiMAX IPTV, video surveillance, IMS and SIP, and an automated electric meter reading program.
The VIA OpenBooks are powered by 1.0+GHz VIA Nano processors and come with 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a single-chip integrated WiMAX/BT/WiFi connectivity module, a powerful 2.0MP/0.3MP dual-headed web camera and a 1024x600 resolution LVDS screen for clear video conferencing or video surveillance performance.
The compact 8.9" VIA Openbook weighs a mere 1.1kg, making it similar in size and weight to a small text book, enabling staff and students to easily carry the device with them wherever they choose to connect on campus, whether in the lab or in the cafeteria.
