It may be possible to obtain a Sierra Wireless MC8780 from a FSC notebook or a vendor supplying FSC parts - I currently have a MC8780, which has been pulled from a Telstra Next-G Sierra Wireless
AC880U. These are sometimes available from eBay seller:
vspeed_modems.
Please note, as the MC8780 is NOT supported in the BIOS whitelist - A BIOS patch
maybe needed!

The MC8780 WWAN module is fitted insde/within the AC880U - You need to extract it!
