Ericsson mobile broadband modules for Toshiba business laptops

Ericsson has become partner of choice for the integration of HSPA mobile broadband modules into Toshiba's business laptop range in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is the world's most widely deployed mobile broadband technology, with 198 commercially deployed networks available in 86 countries.
As the use of wireless LAN (WLAN) technology becomes increasingly widespread, the demand for real mobile broadband access to the Internet and company networks anytime/anywhere has significantly increased. Market analysts predict that laptops will remain the key mobile productivity tool for business and that HSPA technology will play a key role in this.
Through the partnership, Toshiba and Ericsson will bring together extensive expertise in their respective fields.
"With the integration of our Mobile Broadband Module into Toshiba's business laptops we are supporting Toshiba's vision of offering real mobile broadband connectivity to business users," said Mats Norin, Vice President Mobile Broadband Modules, Ericsson.
