Fujitsu Siemens Computers Joins GSMA Mobile Broadband Initiative
December 23, 2008 // Published as a news service by IHS
Fujitsu Siemens Computers became a member of the Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA) Mobile Broadband Initiative, formed to create a new category of always-connected mobile broadband devices.
The GSMA is the global trade group representing more than 750 GSM mobile operators across 218 countries and territories. Its goals are to ensure that mobile phones and wireless services work globally and are accessible.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers said it is supporting GSMA development and promotion of a mobile broadband service mark, a new global identifier that consumers will use to identify a range of mobile broadband devices.
The service mark will be seen at point of sale (POS), on the packaging and on products themselves. The global service mark will be applied to professional notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
"We are delighted that Fujitsu Siemens Computers has joined the GSMA's Mobile Broadband Initiative and is committed to changing the way people get online forever," said Michael O'Hara, chief marketing officer (CMO) of the GSMA.
"With the mobile broadband service mark appearing on notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers, end-users will know that they will always be able to connect - wherever mobile broadband is available - and that they can expect a high standard of simplicity and mobility," he said.
