Dell to Supply Laptop Computers with HSPA Built-In
Ericsson and computer manufacturer, Dell have teamed up to offer built-in HSPA mobile broadband modules from Ericsson beginning in Q2 2008.
"Consumers are increasingly utilizing notebooks to access the high-capacity services that they have typically experienced only through a wired or Wi-Fi connection," said Mats Norin, Vice President, Mobile Broadband Modules, Ericsson. "We are excited to work with Dell to give consumers and business users the freedom and flexibility to access internet in the way they want it, wherever they are.
Ericsson's mobile broadband modules also come with a GPS receiver, to be used together with positioning applications.
Market projections indicate that in 2011, approximately 200 million notebooks will ship annually and Ericsson anticipates that 50 percent of those notebooks will feature a built-in HSPA mobile broadband module.
