use to send and receive data wirelessly. By using Mobile Broadband, you can browse the
Internet, send and receive email, connect to your company’s intranet, or use Web-based
applications.

Mobile Broadband is based on cellular network technology, so you can use it in more places
than other wireless technologies. With Mobile Broadband, your Tablet PC connects to a
service provider’s base station, which in turn is connected to the Internet. Unlike Wi-Fi, you
do not need to search for Wi-Fi hotspots or buy base stations. You can typically use Mobile
Broadband anywhere you can use your mobile phone. For more information, see “Using
Mobile Broadband (optional)” on page 59.

Bluetooth wireless (optional)
