Does the CF-19 and CF-U1 use the same GOBI2000 card?

Greetings, forum (and CF-U1) noob here.

Does the CF-U1 use the same Sierra Wireless card as the CF-19? I ask because cards listed for the CF-19 are cheap on eBay, but for CF-U1...nonexistent. I didn't read the fine print very well and bought a CF-U1 that is sans WWAN.

Thanks!

(I tried a forum search but one of the members has all his different toughbooks listed in the signature, and it really clogs the results.)

 

Welcome to the Toughbook Forum

Could you post your full model #...this will give us a better idea of what you have. Try using Google search...type in what you are looking for and put this on the end of it site:forum.notebookreview.com/panasonic

 

Model CF-U1AQBIZ2M

I did a site-specific search with Google as suggested. But I tried searching with a string something like "CF-U1 CF-19 same Gobi2000 card". Anything with the model numbers will report a result on just about everything with those models in the signature. So I decided I would just ask.

 

I have been looking at this too. Just so i could use the GPS in the secondary units i have. I am under the impression that the U1 has a daughterboard that is needed to fit the gobi card that is not there on standard non gobi models. I havent had my unit. apart yet to confirm this.

 

Someone else was asking about this a couple weeks ago and Rob said what you just said...also Rob said it would cost a lot for that board.

Edit: I just checked Robs post and its not here so will check toughbooktalk and see if its there

 

Yes,

ALL GOBI CARDS FOR ALL TOUGHBOOKS ARE THE SAMe!
