Using Hp Mobile Broadband (Select Models Only); Inserting And Removing A Sim (Select Models Only) - HP EliteBook Folio 1040-G1 User Manual

Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)

HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use WWANs to access the Internet from more places
and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a 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 on the bottom 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 SIM slot. 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

For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile
