Rob Hadley, senior v.p. of worldwide sales and marketing for Novatel Wireless said "the combination of Gobi-enabled notebook computers, along with the unparalleled integration, certification and support that Novatel Wireless provides, is the ideal solution for notebook manufacturers interested in delivering high-quality mobile broadband data connectivity to its customers worldwide."

He added "we look forward to expanding our support of more than 60 current embedded OEM platforms by providing Gobi-enabled products in the second half of 2008 as part of our overall embedded product portfolio."

The embedded Gobi solution for notebook OEMs from Novatel Wireless includes Qualcomm's MDM-1000 chipset, associated software and API, as well as a reference design supporting both EV-DO Rev. A and HSPA with full backward compatibility and GPS functionality.
