Laptops Arena

"We are excited to work with LG Electronics to give consumers and business users the freedom and flexibility to access internet in the way they want it, wherever they are" says Mats Norin, Vice President, Mobile Broadband Modules, Ericsson. "Ericsson is also very pleased to be selected to provide mobile broadband modules to LG Electronics’ netbooks which is a segment that is forecasted to grow fast."

This was the declaration of Ericsson, the market leader in 2G and 3G mobile technologies, which has announced that it will provide its mobile broadband modules to the upcoming LG laptops and netbooks. The new portable computers will be available on the market this quarter with wireless connectivity based on HSPA comparable with DSL speeds.

Ericsson’s built-in modules enable high-speed wireless connectivity to the Internet on the notebooks and mobile Internet devices, at affordable costs, and without high battery power consume.



According to the latest statistics, in 2011 there will be 200 million laptop computers shipped and 50% will have the HSPA mobile broadband connectivity enabled. Ericsson’s modules based on HSPA double the system capacity, shortening the response time for interactive services, leading to 20 times faster downloads with GSM/GPRS. In the near future, the same technology will be enhanced and the speeds will reach 42Mbps in downlink and 12Mbps in uplink.

Currently, Ericsson broadband modules offer up to 7.2Mbps download speeds and 2Mbps uploads.
