I recently ordered a T480 without any WWAN functionality.
Is it possible to install the Fibocom L850-GL CAT9 M.2 WWAN chip into the laptop as an aftermarket add-on.
Would anything else be required (antennas, drivers)?
Is the slot for the micro-sim already in my laptop, even if I didn't order the WWAN option?
Thanks.

Re: Add WWAN chip to T480?
Yeah, you also need WWAN antennae, otherwise no carrier signal reception.
WWAN antennae is usually housed above your LCD display.
You need to check!
(We usually buy our key man units with WWAN direclty from Lenovo/ThinkPad;
saves the hassle if/when WWAN is desired at a later stage...)
