Device profile: Toshiba SG20 Wireless Mobility Server   Rick Lehrbaum
(June 12, 2002)

Toshiba's Computer Systems Group (Irvine, CA) recently introduced the Magnia
SG20 wireless mobility server, a compact, Linux-based portable wireless
server. About the size of a typical notebook computer, the appliance-like
device is intended to make it easy to pack up an entire network and take it
on the road. Described by Toshiba as a "wireless network in a box that
allows users to securely access and share files, printers, and an Internet
account," the Magnia SG20 is targeted toward small and medium-sized offices,
mobile consultants, remote offices in large organizations, home offices, and
other applications needing mobile networking capability.

By simply adding a wireless PC Card, the Magnia SG20 seamlessly connects
wireless-enabled devices using Wi-Fi technology (802.11b) without the need
for an external 'wireless access point'. The system offers a number of other
useful server features, including web caching, content filtering, backup,
email services, and remote administration. Configurable firewall protection
guards against unwanted intrusion over the Internet, and the device also
provides a virtual private network (VPN) feature which offers secure access
to authorized users when connecting from offsite locations.
