The Surface for Business portfolio – now with Surface Go with LTE Advanced – gives businesses the flexibility and capabilities to meet their needs.

In July we introduced Surface Go, our lightest, most compact Surface yet. Since then, we have seen strong momentum for Surface Go. Business customers tell us they love Surface Go because it is compact, performant, manageable, affordable, and offers advanced security with Windows 10 Pro. Surface Go is a great device for Firstline Workers who are out in the field, directly interacting with customers. In K-8 classrooms, Surface Go provides a versatile device for sparking creativity and inspiring exploration.

Today, we are excited to announce that Surface Go with LTE Advanced is available for pre-order in select markets.

Surface Go with LTE Advanced for Business offers organizations the perfect balance of performance, portability and connectivity[1] their Firstline Workers need to get the job done in the field. Imagine:

No more dependence on Wi-Fi at a jobsite—construction project managers can input real-time assessments and photos of contractor progress into their cloud system

No more reliance on a client’s home Wi-Fi network—insurance claims adjusters can submit damage reports and receive quotes while assessing a vehicle

No more tethering with reduced speeds and depleted phone batteries—census takers can upload household demographic information in real time

Surface Go with LTE Advanced devices also are great for organizational management and security. For example, removing field worker dependency on guest Wi-Fi reduces security risks from unsecured networks. LTE connected devices make it easier for IT administrators to manage rolling out business-critical updates and new device deployments.

Surface Powers Business

Surface Go with LTE Advanced for Business is the latest in our expanding portfolio of enterprise-grade and optimized Surface devices. This comprehensive family of devices has contributed to the growth in the Surface business, bringing Surface from introducing the 2-in-1 category just six years ago to joining the top five global companies in US PC market share, according to Gartner.

Based on customer feedback, we created Surface for Business, products tailored specifically for commercial and education customers. On Surface Pro 6 for Business and Surface Laptop 2 for Business, we have designed our products and services to include: a higher-performing, faster 8th Gen Intel Core processor on the i5 configuration; advanced security with Windows 10 Pro; premium support[2] at no additional cost; and readiness for Microsoft 365.

We continue to be amazed by how our commercial and education customers are transforming their industries using Surface for Business devices. Here are a few recent examples:
