FUJITSU ADDS ATHEROS' SUPER AG/SUPER G TECHNOLOGY TO NOTEBOOKS.

Fujitsu Computer Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited, is supporting Atheros Communications' Super AG and Super G technology in six wireless-enabled notebook computer models and two Tablet PC models in the North American market.

These notebook and Tablet PC models incorporate Atheros 802.11a/b/g or 802.11b/g WLAN solutions. By providing an easy software upgrade for Atheros' Super AG and Super G performance-boosting capabilities, Fujitsu is providing its customers with advanced wireless networking features that deliver the highest wireless performance available on the market today, as measured by end-user throughput and range.

Fujitsu is offering Atheros Super AG technology in its LifeBook series of notebooks including the LifeBook S7010D, LifeBook N5010, LifeBook P7010D and LifeBook B3010D notebooks and in its Stylistic ST5010D and ST5011D Tablet PCs. The notebook models from Fujitsu that are Super G capable include the LifeBook P5020D, and the LifeBook S2020 notebooks. Atheros 802.11a/b/g and 802.11b/g wireless LAN chipsets provide optimal compatibility with 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11a networks. All of these new Fujitsu models will have Atheros brand stickers to help users identify the feature set capabilities of the PC.

The wide array of complementary Super AG and Super G networking products will enable Fujitsu customers to enjoy the performance advantages of the technology in their own home or business wireless networks.

"We're pleased that Fujitsu is enabling Atheros Super AG and Super G technology in their notebook and Tablet PCs," said Colin Macnab, vice president of marketing and business development of Atheros Communications. "These technologies offer the best throughput allowing customers to meet the requirements for a wide range of mobile computing applications."

Atheros Super AG and Super G technology offers a combination of performance-enhancement features -- packet bursting, fast frames, data compression, and dynamic turbo -- that improve the throughput and range of wireless networking products. This feature set enables end-user throughput of more than 60 Mbps for typical data, up to three times higher than traditional 802.11g networks.

Fujitsu LifeBook notebooks and Stylistic Tablet PCs enabled with Atheros 802.11a/b/g technology are available now and can be purchased through the Fujitsu web site or select retail channels.
