    Tried both the worldwide and USA sites, but neither of them have the actual setup files. Toughbook is a CF-31W mk4, in the device manager the Gobi is showing up as MC7355. The driver sites mention that particular model but the link is just a setup PDF directions.

    Any ideas guys?

    so is that the 4G LTE multi-carrier version ? the true successor of Gobi2000 in terms of global coverage ? the only thing missing is support for 2600Mhz band...

    I've seen the OEM GOBI5000FU KIT for 31mk4/19mk7 for at least $268.

    Ramma2, after you set it up and use it for a while, can you post back your impressions, tests, etc ?

    thanks.

    I'd be glad to share some results, once I get them up and running. Still not able to get them operating with Sprint, but they work fine with a TMobile SIM card. I've put out an email to our Panasonic tech to see if he can help at all.
