Technology Review of Mobile Computing
VSeiichi Saito · 1998
Mobile computing is becoming popular all over the world. Especially, notebook PCs are playing an important role in mobile computing. Fujitsu has been focusing on the importance of mobile computing and has been developing new technologies for downsizing, power management, and communication. These technologies have been applied to the latest notebook PCs and to a mobile information tool called INTERTop. This paper looks at the development history of Fujitsu’s mobile computing products, the features of the latest models, and the technologies required in mobile computing. Then, we describe the current trends in Fujitsu’s technology development. Finally, we describe the important technology of simulation by giving an example of transmission waveform simulation technology on a printed-circuit board (PCB). This technology is one of the key elements that enabled us to achieve the high graphic performance of the FMV-BIBLO 6266NA (called Lifebook 990Tx2 in North America and Europe) released in April 1998.
