Mobile broadband connections

Mobile broadband makes it possible for you to connect to the Internet from virtually anywhere, even if there’s no

Wi-Fi network available. Mobile broadband connections use 3G, 4G, or LTE cellular and mobile networks to do

this, just as phones do.

When a wired or wireless network isn’t available, you can use one of the following options:

 Portable wireless router

 USB dongle that provides cellular connectivity to a PC

Both of the above options require a mobile broadband subscription. For details, check with your mobile operator.

For more info about using a mobile broadband connection, see Mobile broadband from start to finish on

Windows.com.

Remote Desktop: Connect to another PC

Using a Remote Desktop Connection, Surface can connect to a PC in another location (the remote PC). For

example, you can connect to your work PC and get to all your apps, files, and network resources from Surface.

For info on how to do this, see Remote Desktop: Frequently asked questions on Windows.com.
