Panasonic just recently added Gobi wireless to their Toughbook 19, 30, and 52 computers. What is Gobi wireless you ask? Well, let’s take a look at it.
On October 23, 2007, Qualcomm introduced Gobi global mobile internet. Notebooks that have this multi-mode Gobi solution can have access to high-speed mobile internet/broadband services, as well as GPS, in virtually all parts of the world. Gobi-enabled laptop computers unify the most widely-deployed wireless carrier network technologies around the world to deliver global mobile internet. Gobi enables high-speed connectivity to all 3G & Legacy 2G networks worldwide with a single embedded device. The Gobi chips are certified to operate on CDMA2000, UMTS, and HSPA networks worldwide. They provide comprehensive support for all 3GPP and 3GP2 technologies. The embedded Gobi wireless solution includes Qualcomm’s MDM1000 chipset, associated software, and API. EV-DO Rev. A and HSPA are both supported and backwards compatible with the modules. GPS functionality is also included in the chipset.
In the past you would have to order the computer pre-configured with integrated Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T. Now with Gobi, you don’t have to choose. You can switch carriers without having to send the computer back to Panasonic to get it reconfigured. Another pro to Gobi is it’s cost. Compared to Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T integrated wireless options, Gobi cost less.

Can anyone recommend the top Remote Desktop program for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central remote support manager
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
