ASUSTek Taiwan to use Ericsson U360 mobile platform in HSPA PC card

Ericsson announced that its U360 mobile platform has been selected by Taiwanese mobile device manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer for its recently launched T500 PC card.

The U360 is an EDGE/WCDMA/HSPA platform with quad-band EDGE as well as triple-band HSPA capabilities on the downlink. It represents one of the smallest, yet most powerful and stable commercially available multimedia platforms.

Ericsson’s U360 solution also offers high levels of silicon integration and low power consumption, providing greater cost-effectiveness.

The T500 PC card provides users with high-speed mobile broadband and offers special phone communication functions for the desktop or notebook.

The T500 was launched in October in Hong Kong. It will debut in Asian markets and is expected to reach both Europe and the US at a later stage.
