HP Notebooks to Feature Vodafone 3G to Drive Connectivity

HP has announced a collaboration initiative with Vodafone that will integrate its broadband notebooks with Vodafone’s global 3G and 3G broadband (HSDPA) high-speed service.

HP said this will enable customers to enjoy more secure wireless access to email, the Internet and critical business data while living, working or traveling throughout major Vodafone markets including Western Europe and the Pacific region.

"Expanding the range of HP Broadband Wireless notebooks to include mobile connectivity from Vodafone and worldwide standards like 3G/3G broadband is critically important to addressing a truly global customer need for pervasive, high-speed wireless access when out of the office," said Eric Cador, senior vice president, '
Personal Systems Group, Europe, Middle East and Africa, HP.

The first notebook to support built-in 3G/3G broadband is the HP Compaq 6400 Notebook PC series. Available with HP Broadband Wireless, this notebook includes configurations with integrated wireless WAN capabilities that will be expanded later this year to include support for Vodafone’s 3G/3G broadband high-speed wireless network.

HP Broadband Wireless business notebooks with built-in support for the Vodafone 3G and 3G broadband wireless networks are designed to support international roaming in many countries around the world.
