    Hello everyone!!

    I want to thanks first the moderators for allowing me in!.

    I have a Toughbook CF-30F3SAXAM, it comes with WWan antenna but it has no module installed.

    I contacted Panasonic and they refused to tell me the part number to install it myself.

    I am always on the go, no time to go to a service center. I would like to buy the module and plug it in.

    What is the part number? any recommendation? Does the modules have to have a SIM card?. Is it easy to install?. Can you tell me where can I buy one at a reasonable price?

    Toughbook, THANKS A LOT for the answer to my previous quesiton in a not appropriate thread. I asked if my notebook would work with a SATA-300 hard drive (500gb).

    Thank you very much!

    That is an old card and may not be supported anymore by most cellular company. It has a proprietary connector not pcie. Look an sled with Rev A. As you can see on that auction the stupidity of some buyer/bidder while you can buy that Modem for only 5buck. here it is item no.380146670486

    my 2 cents

    topcop...I'll bet you those sled came from the one i posted. Big..dy, nex.t.c and other sellers on ebay buy those modem and resell for 1,240.00% profit. Thats business my friend.

    Edit: If I do have a lot of money I'm gonna buy it all and then resale.
