Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) is an optional feature sold separately or as an add-on feature on select HP notebooks, Ultrabooks and tablets

HP Mobile Broadband modules provide integrated WWAN technology such as LTE, DC-HSPA+, HSPA+, HSDPA, HSUPA, WCDMA, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, and GNSS connectivity over several radio frequency bands. (Select modules also supports 2G / 3G roaming). HP Mobile Broadband modules use this integrated WWAN technology to connect to wireless networks operated by mobile network operators in many countries worldwide. (Separately purchased mobile operator service required.)

A WWAN connection requires wireless data service contract, network operator support, and is not available in all areas. Contact a service provider (e.g. Mobile Network Operator) to determine the coverage area and availability. Connection speeds will vary due to location, environment, network conditions, and other factors.

Selected HP Mobile Broadband Wireless notebooks support Wireless WAN (WWAN) as an after-market option if ordered as a Wireless WAN (WWAN) ready configuration option. This provides customers the opportunity of adding Wireless WAN (WWAN) as an after-market option providing cost-efficient solution of adding WWAN post purchase.

By offering customers this WWAN ready configuration option; HP can offer customers and integrated wireless wide area network (WWAN) option by way of after-market option kit.

If the notebook is ordered with a WWAN Ready Configuration the HP production process allows for the customers to order a notebook without a HP Broadband module but receive a system that has:

• WWAN antennae built into assembly
• Supports aftermarket WWAN option (user accessible / upgradeable)
• Subscriber identity module (SIM) user-accessible

Select HP Mobile Broadband Wireless notebooks support Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) only if ordered from the factory (Select systems are not WWAN upgradeable post purchase)
