Nokia expands mobility into a new arena by bringing wireless wide area connectivity for notebook users. Nokia has developed an HSDPA connectivity module for notebook computers, which Intel will deliver onwards to notebook manufacturers as part of its next-generation Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology platform. The connectivity module will be widely available as an embedded option in a variety of notebooks. With the new connectivity module, Nokia will complement Intel's wireless technologies with HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology for notebooks. In the connectivity module collaboration, Intel takes care of platform design, software, integration and support as well as sales and marketing. Nokia, for its part, brings the 3G HSDPA knowledge as well as carrier relationships. Nokia also manufactures the module.

Combining HSDPA cellular connectivity with other wireless technologies in notebook computers enables users to easily choose the best radio connection and use their notebooks with a seamless connectivity through wireless networks. Multiradio notebooks also open up new opportunities for operators for providing new innovative easy-to-access mobile solutions.
