GPS module for Dell from Ericsson

May 14, 2008 gps navigation, misc news

Ericsson just announced that they’ll be teaming up with Dell to provide laptops that will support tri-band HSPA mobile broadband networks beginning second quarter of this year.

The mobile broadband mobile will provide high speed downloads and uploads, but the real reason why this is on Navigadget is that the same module will also integrate a GPS receiver to be used with positioning applications such as GPS navigation.

The idea is that the new HSPA / GPS module should be inexpensive so you won’t feel much of a difference when you’re purchasing your next Dell.
