Mobile Broadband: The Shift From Detachable to Embedded Solutions
Overview Notebook PCs can be wirelessly connected to networks either through the use of detachable PCMCIA cards or through radios embedded in the devices. Should the shift from detachable to embedded connectivity solutions be a cause for concern? Or, does such a shift, in fact, offer key benefits to users? This white paper addresses this issue. In this white paper, IDC argues that the shift from detachable to embedded solutions is a fairly standard progression in the matter of network connectivity of computing devices and offers key benefits to users. Such progression usually follows the maturity of the technology and constitutes a signal that the social adoption of computing devices with such connectivity has reached critical levels to justify embedded solutions.
