Ericsson today announced a new high-speed wireless module intended for mobile Internet devices and other consumer electronics devices connected to the Internet, such as e-book readers, GPS navigators and media-centric devices.

Called the C 3607w module, it would be used with the next version of Intel's Atom processor for MIDs, known as Moorestown, said Jan Backman, director of marketing for Ericsson's mobile broadband division, in an interview.

The new module is about one-third the size of previous Ericsson modules for wireless connections for computers and uses 40% less power, he said. It supports High Speed Uplink Packet Access network speeds of up to 5.7 Mbit/sec. One feature would enable devices to wake up from sleep mode after receiving an alert over the air.
