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.

Keep this area clear of obstructions
