    Hi,

    Is anyone able to tell me if the MC7430 will work with the CF19?

    I believe mine is a MK5 - CF19ADNC7DA.

    Thanks.

    Is the MC7430 from a Toughbook?

    Generic "may" work, but it requires a good bit of fiddling around if it will work at all.
    To be sure it will work, the card needs to be from a Toughbook.

    What carrier are you going to use?

    I'm in Australia and I'll be using Telstra, specifically 4G with hopefully 3G fallback, more specifically 4G B28 700MHz however any Telstra 4G band (B1, B3, B8). If anyone has another (perhaps tested) suggestion, I'd be happy to go down that path. I know that HP lock their BIOS to only accept certain WWAN cards - does Panasonic do the same or will it just be a driver/connection manager software issue?

    Current WWAN card is an Ericsson F5521GW.
