The Option GTM378 wireless module is specifically designed for IT manufacturers wishing to incorporate comprehensive broadband WWAN connectivity into notebooks. Incorporating tri-band HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and UMTS in the 2100, 1900 and 850 MHz bands and EDGE/GPRS in four bands (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), the GTM378 delivers broadband wireless internet connectivity to mobile devices across mobile networks in virtually every country on earth.
