Verizon Offers Embedded Rev. A in Panasonic Toughbooks

Panasonic Computer Solutions Co. has announced several new notebook certifications for embedded access to the EV-DO Revision A-based BroadbandAccess service from Verizon Wireless.

Panasonic products now certified on the Verizon Wireless Revision A network include the rugged Toughbook 30 notebook and Toughbook 19 convertible tablet PC designed and tested for military, public sector and industrial users in more extreme environments and the semi-rugged Toughbook 74 notebook and business-rugged ultra-portable and thin-and-light notebooks — the T, W and Y series — designed for business travelers and mobile professionals in government, commercial and healthcare industries.

To access Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess service on any of the Panasonic Toughbook notebooks requires the purchase of the Sierra Wireless’ embedded MC-5725 PCi Express card, and VZAccess software.

The laptops are available now through authorized Panasonic Toughbook resellers and partners.

Panasonic and Verizon Wireless have made high-performance embedded EV-DO solutions available in Toughbook notebooks since mid-2005.
