MobileOne - Fujitsu partners M1 to offer the first LifeBook Q2010 with built-in broadband service in Singapore.


Singapore, 28 November, 2006 — Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific today announces the launch of LifeBook Q2010 with built-in ‘M1 Broadband’ service provided by MobileOne Ltd (M1), the first of such collaboration in Singapore.

Amidst eager anticipation from mobile executives, early adopters and tech-savvy consumers, Fujitsu partnered M1 to pioneer the first notebook PC embedded with M1 Broadband in Singapore. The new M1 Broadband service, using M1’s 3G network and newly installed with High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA), will offer downlink speeds of 1.8 Mbps on LifeBook Q2010 with HSDPA.

The ultra-chic LifeBook Q2010 with M1 Broadband service has also cast a milestone in the evolution of mobile technology, setting consumers free from restrictions of fixed line, LAN cables and designated Wi-Fi hotspots.`

Mr Ng Yoon Seng, Vice President, Business Operations and Marketing, Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific says, “This collaboration is an honour for Fujitsu, as we have been waiting for just such an opportunity to bring this innovation to our consumers. With M1’s timely set up of its HSDPA network, the full potential of the LifeBook Q2010 is unleashed, bringing endless possibilities to the world of mobile communication.”

The LifeBook Q2010 has earlier made headlines in the region for its executive elegance and innovation. Boasting a waif-like profile of 19.9 millimeters and weighing barely a kilogram, this quintessential companion for the discerning professional is also the first in the world to have integrated dual digital array microphones technology to enable true mobile computing. With the introduction of the HSDPA-enabled version, the LifeBook Q2010 is set to induct the age of converged computing and telecommunication.

P.Subramaniam, Director, Enterprise & Alliances of M1, said, “We are absolutely delighted to partner Fujitsu, the leader in high-end notebook PCs to bring the full power of the Fujitsu Lifebook Q2010 to the market. With this partnership, mobile professionals can stay connected everywhere in Singapore with M1 Broadband and also roam to over 14 countries on HSDPA and over 30 countries on 3G. This opens up a huge world of possibilities for both M1 and Fujitsu.”

With a 3G SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, consumers can access M1 Broadband with downlink speeds of up to 1.8Mbps, or 5 times faster than the current 3G and 20 times faster than GPRS. Fujitsu will continually upgrade our machines to keep in pace with developments in HSDPA and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) to stay on the forefront of technological innovations.
