| Gobi™ is a technology platform from Qualcomm designed to deliver built-in high-speed cellular connectivity to notebook computers. HP Mobile Broadband notebooks featuring Gobi technology can take advantage of the ultra-mobile Internet services offered by leading 3G wireless network operators in virtually all parts of the world. Gobi technology aims to meet the demand for worldwide connectivity capabilities beyond Wi-Fi, and is being certified on UMTS HSPA and CDMA2000® EV-DO networks around the world. |
|
|
| It's quite simple – instead of having unique radios for each carrier, the Gobi platform supports multiple global wireless network technologies, in a single unit. A user can purchase a device with Gobi and activate wireless service on almost any major network worldwide...changing networks when desired...quickly, and without having to purchase new hardware. |
|
|
| Gobi technology is embedded into selected HP notebook computers. This means there are no air cards to break or lose. Like Wi-Fi, Gobi can deliver an "always-on" experience, but without the dependence on location. High-speed mobile wireless is limited only by the wireless carriers' coverage. And, because Gobi technology works with both GSM and CDMA 2000 / EVDO networks worldwide, companies don't have to deploy specially-configured notebooks based on geography - users can activate their notebook on the wireless network that makes the most sense for them. |

|
|
|
| For international travelers, Gobi provides the ability to switch between networks on the same notebook easily. |
|
| For example - A US customer who has a wireless data contract in the US, and needs service in Europe, can simply activate service on a European wireless provider's 3G GSM network on a roaming or "pay as you go plan". Upon return to the US, the notebook will work on the user's domestic carrier as usual. |

For business travelers, the ability to avoid up to $15 charges for Wi-Fi connections or in-hotel DSL charges |
| • |
For IT, the ability to standardize on a single hardware platform regardless of wireless carrier technology |
| • |
For the user, a simple out of the box experience that walks through carrier selection and activation |

|
| Gobi technology requires separately purchased wireless data service contracts. Check with local service provider for coverage and availability in your area. |
|
| Broadband connection requires wireless data service contract, network support, and is not available in all areas. Contact service provider to determine the coverage area and availability. Connection speeds will vary due to location, environment, network conditions, and other factors. |
