The T500 PC card provides users with high-speed mobile broadband and offers special phone communication functions for the desktop or notebook.

HC Hung, President of Digital Mobile at ASUSTeK, says: "Ericsson’s U360 platform offers high performance in a small, stable and cost-effective package. It’s an essential ingredient in the creation of our cutting-edge PC card and will ensure we can offer a first-rate experience for end users"

Robert Puskaric, Head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, says: "We are proud to continue our longstanding relationship with ASUSTeK and support them with the launch of their T500 PC card. The move is a significant milestone and reflects Ericsson’s expertise in offering strong platforms that generate cost-competitive and feature-rich mobile solutions"

The T500 was launched in October in Hong Kong. It will debut in Asian markets and is expected to reach both Europe and the US at a later stage.
