To promulgate information, knowledge and the benefit of wireless technology usability in universities
Acer Computer Co., Ltd. continues to extend its notebook leadership with the “Acer Unwire The Campus Phase II” program. This initiative aims to promote the use of wireless technology in universities. The “Acer Unwire The Campus Phase I” proved successful with 5,000 unit sales. Acer is committed to contributing to the community and bridging the digital divide through the use of efficient technology and wireless innovations.
The Acer Unwire The Campus Phase II is an extension from Phase I. Acer and Intel have jointly promoted the use of wireless technology in university campuses for learning, LAN access and Internet connection. In Phase I, Acer successfully offered its notebooks at discounted prices and implemented marketing campaigns for 12 universities nationwide. With that success, Acer decided to launch the Phase II initiative, expecting a wide acceptance of its affordable, high-quality products.
Under the Acer Unwire The Campus Phase II, Acer is offering the TravelMate 2303NLCi powered by the Intel? Celeron? M Processor 340 (processor speed 1.5 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache, 400MHz FSB) with a starting price of Bt29,900 and the TravelMate 4000WNLCi powered by the Intel? Pentium? M Processor 710 (processor speed 1.4 GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 400MHz FSB), priced at Bt39,900.
Nitipat Praweenwongwuthi, Marketing Manager, Acer Computer Co., Ltd., said nine universities will participate in Phase II, these are Sripatum University, Rangsit University, Bangkok University, Mahanakorn University of Technology, Dhurakijpundit University, Suan Dusit Rajabhat University, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Pranakorn Rajabhat University, and University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. If this project continues to be well recognized, Acer may extend its reach nationwide.
Activities prepared for Phase II include wireless technology showcase by Acer and DTAC, and “Unwire The Campus” seminar on the development of E—University. These roadshow activities will be organized at each university from November to December.
“Acer is committed to the Thai community, and we want to enable Thai students and teaching staff to fully leverage IT for their educational activities like some other countries. With this initiative, universities will be able to create qualified professionals, who will contribute to the growth of the nation in the long run,” Nitipat said.
