It’s pretty obvious that notebooks and MIDs need some sort of aid to get online. The interest has skyrocketed with the development of mobile broadband where HSDPA 3G modules can be found in many notebooks. We’re still waiting for the real ultramobile device boom with mobile broadband support from factory. Not even the netbook market has made any serious commitment to adapting HSDPA, but this is about to change.
Intel has been working with Finnish telecom giant Nokia to get HSDPA 3G modules, but Nokia will now be replaced by Ericsson as Intel has announced that our beloved Swedish telecom giant will supply the Moorestown platform with HSDPA/HUSPA modules.
The Moorestown platform will replace Centrino Atom and will introduce a new system-on-a-chip solution that we have reported on at several occasions. It is much more effective and energy efficient, and will sport a sturdy HSDPA support making it a very important launch in the ultraportable industry.
We’re not sure how this will affect Ericsson that recently presented a very impressive quarterly fiscal report, but we can’t imagine that it would make things worse.
