Using HP Mobile Broadband (select

models only)

HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use wireless wide area networks (WWANs) to access

the Internet from more places and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile

Broadband requires a network service provider (called a mobile network operator), which in most cases

is a mobile phone network operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to mobile phone voice

coverage.

When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to stay

connected to the Internet, send e-mail, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on the

road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.

HP supports the following technologies:

●

HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which provides access to networks based on the Global

System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telecommunications standard.

●

EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), which provides access to networks based on the code division

multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications standard.

You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service.

The serial number is printed on a label inside the battery bay of your computer.

Some mobile network operators require the use of a subscriber identity module (SIM). A SIM contains

basic information about you, such as a PIN (personal identification number), as well as network

information. Some computers include a SIM that is preinstalled in the batter bay. If the SIM is not

preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP Mobile Broadband information provided with your computer

or the mobile network operator may provide it separately from the computer.

For information on inserting and removing the SIM, refer to the "Inserting a SIM" and "Removing a SIM"

sections in this chapter.

For information on HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile network

operator, refer to the mobile broadband information included with your computer. For additional
