Sierra Wireless has announced that it will provide MC8755 PCI Express Mini Card embedded modules for use in Lenovo notebook computers. As a result, Lenovo's Thinkpad T60 and X60 models will have full access to HSDPA/UMTS networks in Europe.

The MC8755 is not only compatible with HSDPA/UMTS networks (download speeds peak at 1.8Mbps), but is also compatible with GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks for global roaming.

Dan Schieler, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales for Sierra Wireless states: “As high speed networks become more widely available, we believe that mobile professionals will find integrated 3G connectivity to be a quick, convenient way to maximize their productive time while away from the office.”

This isn't the first time that Sierra Wireless and Lenovo have worked together. The two companies also integrated EV-DO connectivity into a number of Lenovo business notebooks for the North American market including the popular Thinkpad Z60t.
