Chapter 2 Using your C5m/F5m Using Mobile Broadband with GNSS 44

Enabling Mobile Broadband with GNSS

You can purchase a C5m/F5m Tablet PC with an optional embedded mobile broadband

module that enables you to connect to a variety of mobile broadband networks for sending

and receiving data wirelessly. You can typically use mobile broadband anywhere you can

use your mobile phone.

The mobile broadband module includes Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) support.

The GNSS receiver uses GPS and GLONASS satellites to determine the current location,

altitude, heading, and horizontal velocity of the C5m/F5m. You don’t need a network

connection or an account with a mobile broadband network carrier to use the GNSS

receiver. You can use it with your preferred mapping applications to find your current and

desired locations.

Before you can establish a Mobile Broadband connection or use the Mobile Broadband

GNSS receiver, you must ensure that Mobile Broadband with GNSS is enabled in Motion

Dashboard. Open Motion Dashboard, select Wireless, click Enable Mobile Broadband

with GPS.

OTE: Before you can connect to a mobile broadband network, you must have an active account

with a cellular network provider and obtain a SIM card for mobile broadband access.
