ASUS Eee PC 901 Gets Connectivity Speed Boost

To create the ultimate travel communication device, Asus decided to include 3.75G wireless connectivity on their already wildly popular notebook EeePC.  he inclusion of 3.75G is a perfect addition to the Eee PC’s existing set of travel-friendly features such as its high portability, shockproof data storage and all-day battery life—strengthening its reputation as the ultimate solution for computing on the go.

"With 3.75G, the Eee PC™ will be able to deliver on its promise of borderless one-day computing better than ever before. No longer bound to Internet hotspots, 3.75G-equipped Eee PC™ users will be able to enjoy low latency mobile broadband Internet access at high downlink and uplink speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps and 2 Mbps respectively, regardless of where they are—ensuring a seamless connected experience on the go. The Eee PC’s™ 7.5-hour battery life provides more than ample power to keep it up and running during extended outdoor excursions." [Asus News]

The 3.75G connectivity will first appear on the EeePC 901 starting October 2008.  However, 3.75G is dependent on a wireless carrier. This means that the hardware is there internally but access to the wireless network remains, like before, a subscription and dependent on the carrier and country if available.
