Qualcomm Gobi embraced by HP, Panasonic and AT&T WirelessBy Sindre Lia, Wednesday 10 September 2008
In the coming weeks, AT&T will launch marketing programs for notebooks with integrated Qualcomm Gobi technology (HSPA + GPS).

AT&T and Qualcomm today announced that Qualcomm's Gobi global mobile Internet technology has been certified for use on the AT&T Mobile broadband network. Gobi technology gives users the freedom to connect to the Internet over wide-area wireless networks. With Gobi-embedded notebook computers running on the AT&T network, customers will get 3G connectivity without the need of for instance an USB card. Gobi also provides GPS functionality.

Today, the companies announced certification for notebooks from Panasonic and HP. Two of Panasonic's Gobi-enabled, fully rugged notebooks -- the convertible tablet Toughbook 19 and flagship Toughbook 30 notebook -- are now certified on AT&T's HSPA network. HP's refreshed line of notebooks featuring built-in AT&T and Gobi technology has also been certified by AT&T.

AT&T joins a growing list of leading operators from around the world that have certified Qualcomm's Gobi technology for use on their networks. In the coming weeks, AT&T, working with leading notebook OEMs, plans to launch marketing programs to support the rollout of Gobi-enabled notebooks and services.
