X200 broadband options
Because there's now possibility to have free-of-charge HSPA+/LTE in Poland (256kbps ntohing fancy, but still...), I've started looking for compatible WWAN module. (SIM cardes are quite picky):
1. F3507g is NOT working
2. F3607GW is confirmed working
3. F5521gw not known (should work)
As the latter costs 2-3 times as much as the other two there is the question: will the working WWAN's work with my x200?Or maybe there are any Aero2 users with x201's or X220's from Warsaw willing to help? (

Re: X200 broadband options
Czescz, I'd check your polish mobile network - which frequencies/bands they use and compare it to the card you're about to buy not all cards support all necessary LTE bands. Another hint - you can modify your bios to unlock your laptop to use any wwan card you want. I successfuly use my x200 with a Sierra card from x60s and now Gobi 2000.

Re: X200 broadband options
F3507g is supposed to work while F5521gw is compatible with X220 only.
BTW the free-of-charge HSPA+/LTE is available in Poland in general ?

Re: X200 broadband options
@marYn: I know for a fact that 3607 wil work with this SIM Cards. Do you know, where can I find modified BIOS'es or HOWTO for doing it myself?
@Puppy:
nothing as cool. The goverment agency, wich sells concessions for spectrum bands expects that Aero2 (part of Zygmunt's Solorz-Żak media empire) wich've buyed concession will give free-of-charge public internet access for three years after reaching 75% coverage with HSPA+ 900MHz and 50% coverage with LTE 2.6GHz.
Of course Aero2 doesn't wan't too much users - they limit bandwidth to 256kbps (512kbps in near future), list of modems, that work with specific configuration of this network is very short (not every HSPA+ 900MHz enabled device will work), the modems shoud be at least class 10 HSPA+ devices or class 3 TD-LTE devices.
There's 20PLN (about 4.5 EUR) caution for SIM card and the wait time about one month.
Detailed info is available here http://www.aero2.pl/bdi.html (polish only)
HSPA+ coverage
May 2011(224kB)
Prognosed for 30.12.2011 (15MB jpeg!!)
Oh, and LTE is virtually non existent.
They have 1.8GHz commercial LTE but very limited data packets (max 25GB/month)

Re: X200 broadband options
Hello,
Which card with Gobi2000 (or simillar) is easy to use in X200s?
If there is BIOS hack needed where can I find it?
Now I have F3507g but it is not working with Aero2.

Re: X200 broadband options
The F3507g doesn't support 3G on the 900MHz band, so it won't do you any good with Aero2.Bezan wrote:Now I have F3507g but it is not working with Aero2.

X200 broadband options - F3607gw not working
Hello everybody,
I hope, I found correct thread to place my question. I recently bought X200s with WWAN upgrade Options, and later bought at eBay WWAN Card Ericcson F3607gw with Toshiba logo. Unfortunatelly, this Card is not accepted by the BIOS - 1804 or 1802 error. So, I had to remove it.
In this thread you say, the F3607gw is known as working. Which Options do I have to make my card working? I know 2:
- BIOS modification
- taping of the pin 20
Can anyone give me a hint on it?
Thanks in advance,
Andrey

Apart from this, it's never a good idea to necro-post (i.e. posting in a thread that has not been updated for many (6 in this case) years).

Hello,thanks for the hint. So, you recommend BIOS update...RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Fri Jun 01, 2018 4:47 amhttps://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.p ... 00#p791300

I know, this thread is quite old, but I had to choose between posting same question again or necro-post. Both is not perfect. And thanks, that you nevertheless helped me.
