Mobile broadband with GPS (optional)
Your Tablet PC may have an embedded Qualcomm® Gobi2000™ module. The Gobi™ module
lets you connect to a variety of mobile broadband networks for sending and receiving data
wirelessly. It also includes a global positioning system (GPS) receiver.
Mobile broadband
By using mobile broadband, you can browse the Internet, send and receive email, connect
to your company’s intranet, and use Web-based applications. You can typically use mobile
broadband anywhere you can use your mobile phone.
Mobile broadband is based on cellular network technology, so you can use it in more places
than other wireless technologies. With Mobile Broadband, your Tablet PC connects to a
network provider’s base station, which in turn is connected to the Internet. Unlike Wi-Fi, you
do not need to buy base stations or search for Wi-Fi hotspots.
For more information, see “Using mobile broadband with GPS (optional)” on page 54.
GPS receiver
The GPS receiver uses satellites to determine the current location, altitude, heading, and
horizontal velocity of the Tablet PC using a GPS receiver.
To use the GPS receiver, you do not need a network connection or an account with a mobile
broadband network carrier.
Use the Connection Manager software to start, stop, and manage the GPS receiver. For
information on the Connection Manager, see “Using Connection Manager” on page 55
For optimal performance when using the GPS receiver, keep the top of the Tablet PC clear of
obstructions as the antenna is located in that area (shown below). For example, do not hold
the Tablet PC in this area when using the GPS receiver.
