The broad array of business offerings ranged from the Toshiba Portégé R600-ST520W-Toshiba's first ultraportable laptop with WiMAX-to the Satellite Pro and Tecra product lines with EasyGuard Technology.

The Portégé R600-ST520W, which integrates Intel Wireless WiMAX and WiFi Link technology will be rolling out to cities across the country in 2009.

TAIS also recently announced a relationship with Sun Microsystems to deliver laptops preconfigured with OpenSolaris, the open source operating system designed for high-performance computing environments.
