Vodaphone with HSDPA 3G Card for Notebooks
Vodaphone has announced that its Vodafone Mobile Connect Card Broadband service will be expanded to support High Speed Data Packet Access (HSDPA). The notebook card itself is based on Option’s GlobeTrotter HSPDA card - which was lauched earlier this week. With speeds of up to 1.8Mbps (the upload speed is 384Kbps), HSDPA is “…up to five times faster than today’s standard 3G networks.” This will come in handy for the Acer TravelMate 4260 and Aspire 5650 - the two HSDPA-enabled Acer notebooks announced earlier.
But while Acer was the first notebook manufacturer to announce support for HSDPA, Dell seems to have taken greater initiative by partnerning Vodafone to bring HSPDA connectivity to its notebooks.
