3G Mobile Broadband to be available “out of the box” and integrated with your notebook laptop

Sixteen of the world’s largest ICT companies have partnered with the GSM Association to drive the adoption of 3G Mobile Broadband by enabling a new category of wireless broadband always-connected notebook laptops.

The project aims to have mobile phone carriers and laptop computer manufacturers develop chip-sets that have integrated mobile broadband connectivity, that will allow users to effectively use mobile broadband straight “out of the box”.

Mobile Broadband integrated notebook laptops will be branded with a new “Mobile Broadband” badge that will make it clearly identifiable that the laptop has an in-built 3G Mobile Broadband modem. “The Mobile Broadband badge will assure consumers that the devices they buy will always connect – wherever Mobile Broadband is available – and that they can expect a high standard of simplicity and mobility,” Mr O’Hara said.

The initiative to integrate mobile broadband to enhance mobile computing for consumers is backed by the biggest players in the industry with participants including Asus, Dell, Ericsson, Lenovo, Microsoft, Orange,Toshiba and Vodafone. This list features some of the world’s largest mobile technology brands, companies and operators serving more than 760 million connections combined.

This is a very exciting initiative and we hope to see a good range of wireless broadband integrated laptops available in Australia before the end of 2009.
