INTERNET ANYWHERE

Nobody likes being cut off from the speed and convenience of broadband internet. Unsurprisingly, demand for ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile broadband that really works is large and growing daily. Working with network partner T-Mobile, Sony VAIO has developed a solution which offers exactly that to customers in the UK, Germany and Austria. Until now, mobile broadband has suffered from problems ranging from perceived high cost and technically challenging setup to slow speeds and rapidly drained notebook batteries. Sony VAIO has addressed these difficulties head on and created an easy to use, high-performance mobile Internet solution. The new VAIO SZ3-Series provides the platform of world class ultra-mobile technology on which everything rests. Next-generation ExpressCard™ hardware adds super-fast 3.6Mbps mobile broadband connectivity to an already impressive package.

“If you are not connected, you are going to be frustrated,” comments Jun Koyama, Director Of IT for VAIO Of Europe (VOE). “What is needed is a bold stroke to cut through the problems and give customers what they want. We chose an exceptional VAIO notebook and the fastest, most up to date communications hardware and we teamed up with T-Mobile. The result is a single, complete solution which does exactly what people want.” Andrè Stark, Executive Vice President Business Marketing at T-Mobile International, adds: “This is a significant agreement that unites great strengths. T-Mobile is a leader in providing one of the fastest, most technically advanced networks in the UK and Europe. And we are constantly expanding and improving our web’n’walk service for highspeed access to the mobile internet. Sony VAIO is renowned for the sophistication and quality of its ultra-mobile notebooks. By putting our strength together we are building something new on very solid foundations indeed.”
