IPWireless in San Bruno, California, sells equipment for mobile broadband services, built around a packet data implementation of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System), so you can use, say, a notebook PC anywhere within range, like a mobile phone, instead of having to look for a Wi-Fi hotspot.
