The big CTIA Wireless show in Vegas continues to crank out mobility news with the launch of Ericsson’s F3607gw HSPA/GPRS/EDGE broadband module. The Windows 7 lovin’ module’s unique “wake-on wireless” feature allows your laptop to sleep until important messages or security updates are sent over the air. Combine that little trick with F3607gw’s embedded GPS and your laptop is ready for a host of location-based services like traffic alerts, public safety warnings, and geo-fencing. Of course as we’ve already seen, the module works with Intel’s Anti-Theft Technology so you can remotely disable (via SMS) the laptop you left behind at happy hour. The module can even send its location data to a central server for recovery. Once recovered, a second SMS will unlock your portable and make all your data accessible again — your dignity, however, will be lost forever. Expect to see the first portables and theft-recovery services featuring the new module sometime after the F3607gw is released in June. Full press release after the break.
Update: Dell, LG, Lenovo, and Toshiba have all signed on as customers with products expected by “mid-second-half” of 2009.
