Panasonic Computer Solutions Company and Cingular Wireless unveiled the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29, the first Toughbook to rank highly in public safety with Cingular's (News - Alert) 3G BroadbandConnect service built-in.

 

Public safety officers can wirelessly access criminal databases and other mission critical information at broadband speeds while sitting in their patrol cars in UMTS/HSDPA-based BroadbandConnect coverage areas.

 

According to the Cingular press release, the Toughbook 29 offers seamless, high-speed EDGE network coverage outside of those areas. The Toughbook 29 is useful for military and commercial field environments.

 

UMTS/HSDPA is the global standard and natural 3G evolutionary path for GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) providers with UMTS services already offered by 95 commercial networks in 45 countries, and an additional 67 networks in deployment, planned or licensed.

 

The users of the rugged Toughbook computers will have mobile broadband access in more than 60 BroadbandConnect cities, as well as high- speed EDGE network coverage in 13,000 additional cities and towns in the United States outside those areas.

 

HSDPA/UMTS-certified Toughbooks will also have global wireless data capabilities with access to EDGE or GPRS data service in more than 100 countries, says the press release.
