"Gobi" Mobile Broadband

[Ben McMillan]

I came across this new internal air card from Gobi that comes in the Panasonic "Toughbook" line. Has anyone had any experience with this product yet?

The online description claims the equipment can pull data from all three major wireless companies (Sprint, Verizon, AT&T) as you travel.

The only problem is that there is no external antenna port on the computer I have seen . If your are in a signal challenged area you cannot connect an antenna or amplifier/antenna combo . The toughbooks are really well made and that is this the only glaring improvement they need to make. You would have to choose network you are to be activated on or pay $60 a month to each carrier for thier services as AT&T uses totally different technology from Sprint and Verizon, therefore you cannot roam on another carrier if you are only paying for one.
