network service provider (called a
mobile network operator), which in most cases is a cellular phone
network operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.
When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to
stay connected to the Internet, send email, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on
the road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.
HP supports the following technologies:
●
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which provides access to networks based on the Global
System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telecommunications standard.
●
EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), which provides access to networks based on the code
division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications standard.
●
LTE (Long Term Evolution), which provides access to networks supporting LTE technology.
You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service.
The serial number is printed on a label inside the battery bay of your computer.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about
you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some computers
include a SIM that is preinstalled in the battery bay. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided
in the HP Mobile Broadband information provided with your computer or the mobile network operator
may provide it separately from the computer.
For information about inserting and removing the SIM, see the
section in this chapter.
For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile
