At the Mobile World Congress 2010, Samsung demonstrated the world, its first Long Term Evolution (LTE) netbook PC. Own in-house designed LTE modem chipset better known as Kalmia enabled Samsung to develop a small form factor netbook with LTE capability.

There has always been a hurdle in way of these netbooks until now, with built-in 3.5G wireless broadband modems. The choice between one with an 850, 1900 and 2100MHz tri-band modem, or one with a 900, 1900 and 2100MHz tri-band modem has always been a problem.

In Australia, last week Samsung significantly announced a notebook and netbook. The netbook comes with built-in quad-band 3.5G (HSPA) modem module. The company also made a commitment that a Chrome OS powered netbook is in the pipelines!

Competitors like Huawei, Ericsson and others are already step behind now with Samsung's giant leap towards a new technology that only Samsung has on hands to offer. This means that the buyers can make the decisions in a much simpler way. For consumers who aren't sure of always using the same wireless Internet provider for ever and a day, this is a boon.
