Dell Laptops to Feature Qualcomm’s Gobi Mobile Broadband Solution

Dell’s next-generation laptops, available later this year, will support a single-card EV-DO and HSPA 3G network connections through Qualcomm’s Gobi solution, the PC maker announced yesterday.

Dell explains that, using the Qualcomm Gobi, U.S.-based travelers who connect their laptops via EV-DO carrier networks (like Verizon Wireless or Sprint), will be also able to connect via HSPA carrier networks (like European Vodafone). Today customers who wish to connect to both types of networks must use two different mobile broadband cards.

The built-in Gobi solution will be offered in Latitude and Precision business notebooks, as well as in Dell’s consumer laptops.
