Embedded EV-DO

Wireless

Sierra Wireless is creating an embedded EV-DO module that will let OEMs build EV-DO directly into devices. Of course, laptops are an obvious choice, but you wonder if someone creative won’t try to use it to create other types of connected devices (EV-DO enabled music player that’s not a phone?). Of course, any EV-DO system will then require service from an EV-DO provider. And, someone who buys embedded EV-DO is going to have to wonder if it’s going to be obsolete before he or she is done using the device.
