Mobile broadband support in Windows 8

Windows 8 offers a completely redesigned mobility experience to its users. Windows 8 was
designed to work well on a variety of platforms including desktops, laptops, and tablets, so
this feature was designed accordingly. Previously, if you wanted to use a mobile broadband
device on a laptop, you had to retrieve the software and drivers from the manufacturer and
carrier, install the correct one, and then troubleshoot any associated issues. In Windows 8,
the management tool and driver is built in. No hassle is associated with configuring mobile
broadband in Windows 8

Windows 8 includes a connection management API called Windows Connection  Manager
that provides functionality native to broadband devices currently in use.   Additionally,
 Windows 8 comes with an integrated mobile broadband class driver. It works with  virtually
all devices and completely eliminates the frustration of locating the correct driver for
your  device. Windows 8 is optimized for all wireless connectivity and offers connection
 prioritization, among many other user customizations. Using the Windows Connection
 Manager, you can manage all wireless radios side-by-side.

Included with mobile broadband support are many other wireless enhancements for
Windows 8. This optimized end-user experience includes metered connection awareness
and efficient data usage as well as the ability to conserve bandwidth by delaying network
heavy actions until an unmetered connection is made. Connection priority is learned by the

 operating system, which can then automatically choose the network for you. This feature
can be overridden through user customization. When resuming from standby, Windows 8
can also reconnect much faster to your wireless network than previous versions—oftentimes
before your display is refreshed. Due to substantial wireless improvements, Windows 8 is
capable of connecting to a wireless network in less than two seconds. Previously, the process
spanned nearly 12 seconds.
