Notebook users get higher speeds with world's first 21Mbps embedded broadband module
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* World's first embedded mobile broadband module specifically designed for
notebooks and other consumer electronics to support 21Mbps HSPA Evolution
networks
* Connects within seconds after sleep mode
* Interoperable with Intel Anti-Theft Technology (Intel AT) version 3.0 to
disable a computer remotely if lost or stolen, even if the operating system
is not running
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today unveils its most advanced mobile broadband module,
the world's first commercially available module for consumer electronics to
utilize the high speeds of HSPA Evolution networks. Designed to give users the
fastest mobile broadband experience available in embedded devices such as
notebooks, netbooks and tablets, the F5521gw module is capable of download
speeds of up to 21Mbps with upload speeds reaching 5.76Mbps.
Presented at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, the F5521gw module
combines high performance, cost-effectiveness and lower power consumption,
essentially providing an effective and easy solution for manufacturers to embed
mobile wireless high-speed connectivity in consumer electronics.
Mats Norin, Vice President of Ericsson Mobile Broadband Modules, says: "Our
next-generation module delivers a superior user experience at an affordable
price. With 63 HSPA Evolution networks up and running and another 116 networks
planned around the world, data is now becoming available at high speeds. Our
HSPA Evolution module reiterates Ericsson's commitment to help create a future
where everything that can benefit from a connection will have one."
Based on ST-Ericsson's high performance and low power modem platform, the
F5521gw module features embedded GPS functionality and Ericsson's unique Wake-on
Wireless capability. Effectively being able to connect while a device is in
sleep mode, Wake-on Wireless enables a wide range of innovative features, such
as the ability to remotely "wake" the device, subscribe to content push services
and receive updates at any time. When combined with GPS, enterprise features
such as remote manageability, asset protection and tracking, geofencing and
security updates are also easily incorporated.
Collaborating with Intel, Ericsson has made the F5521gw module interoperable
with the latest generation of Intel Anti-Theft Technology (version 3.0), which
offers a proactive security capability by remotely disabling a computer using
encrypted text messages even when the operating system is not running
(out-of-band). Combined with Ericsson's Wake-on-Wireless feature and appropriate
laptop support, a lost or stolen PC may be immediately disabled, decreasing the
amount of time it is vulnerable to attacks.
"The collaboration with Ericsson on Intel Anti-Theft Technology has yielded very
robust security capabilities available to notebooks," says Anand Pashupathy,
General Manager of Anti-Theft Services, PC Client Services, Intel Corp. "Thanks
to the direct communication between the new Ericsson modules and the hardware
that hosts Intel AT, we have been able to provide businesses and consumers the
ability to react very quickly when a PC is lost or stolen. Shortly after the PC
is turned on, and even before the operating system is running, a missing PC can
be disabled and/or located. And when found, it can be very quickly and
conveniently reactivated, all via encrypted text messages."
The module also features Quick Connect, which enables an embedded device to
connect to the internet just seconds after resuming from sleep mode, essentially
giving end users the seamless experience of always being connected.
Ericsson's F5521gw mobile broadband module supports major and open source
operating systems and will be available globally in October this year.
