Hello everyone, I am new user of Gumstixs, and I am currently working on a device prototype that requires 3G/HSDPA connectivity. As there is no expansion board available on Gumstix's website offering this. I would like to seek advice, solutions, and suggestions about the best way to add 3G/HSDPA connectivity using GumStix Overo Fire COM. Also, is there any affordable third party solution that is recommendable? Best regards, Arpit |

Hey =) The cheapest solution to get HSDPA on you Overo is just to plug in a standard USB-HSDPA Stick. If you want to go for a hardware solution you might use a Telit module. I have a solution with HSDPA - using the Telit module - ready (the hardware) but not tested yet.

I found that if you use the three modem (ZTE MF112) you can simply do an eject -r /dev/cdrom4 if you plan to create your own board, telit provide a terminal with a UC864, gives a super easy upgrade path and full power management of the modem. Full schematics are supplied for the power supply etc. I you can live with GPRS check out the telit module available from sparkfun, super easy to use, plus access to the schematics They have some pretty slick features, check out the telit IP easy user guide -----Original Message----- From: Hartz [mailto:har...@ya...] Sent: 14 October 2011 05:10 To: gum...@li...
