Panasonic Canada Support has told me that the Gobi1000 was never offered in Canada and therefore they offer no software or support for the Gobi1000 in Canada.
They do offer software and support for the newer cards, from the Gobi2000 on.

You forgot the European WWAN cards.
I have a PAnasonic Toughbook CF-19 mark 1 (number = CF-19CHBAFT2) bought from a German E-bay company. It has a QWERTY keyboard.

The WWAN card in my CF-19 mark 1 is a Novatel Wireless Expedite HSDPA/3G modem. Model = EU740

I'm not in Europe and have no info on them

Sorry.

Thanks!

I just removed a Qualcomm with CE0168 on the label from a CF-30 Mk3 (see sig for model).

I am guessing it is a "1000" card?

I plugged it into my Mk2 but can't see it in Device Manager, do i need to find the drivers or is it because of no SIM card?

So if i wanted to upgrade from a Gobi 100 to a MC7355 GOBI 5000 (xxGOBI5000FU), would all i need to do is drop in a card and software, it would work? I have a Cf-30 MK, Win 7 pro.

Hi Jon Kuwait

A 4G modem will NOT work in any CF-30 MK 1,2,3. You would need a CF-31.

What if i use a MC8355 GOBI 3000? Will it work? i'm trying to speed the modem up.

No. Gobi 3000 isn't 4G, only 3G.

Thanks!

The current 4g lte modem for At&t is the MC7700 not 7725. I'm assuming that's a typo, i tried to lookup and didn't find anything.
