March 09 2016 - 7:46PM
Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIFI), a leading global
provider of solutions for the Internet of Things, today
announced that its award-winning MiFi 6620 mobile hotspot is now
approved to support Verizon Wireless' (NASDAQ:VZ) LTE in Rural
America (LRA) program, with availability later this month.
The LRA program has made it possible for participating carriers
servicing rural, remote communities with little access to reliable
connectivity to offer advanced 4G LTE communication technology in
unique ways and unique places. The availability of the MiFi 6620
makes it possible for customers of the LRA participating carriers
to benefit from valuable services enabled by 4G LTE communications
such as internet connectivity for home, school, and business use,
mobile healthcare, railway communications, and reliable access to
weather reports to rural farming communities.
The MiFi 6620 offers simultaneous connectivity for up to 15
devices, provides up to 20 hours of use on a single charge, and
uniquely doubles as a charger for devices such as smartphones and
tablets. The MiFi 6620 comes equipped with an external antenna port
along with advanced enterprise-grade security features including,
VPN support, anti-hacking and website filtering controls.
“We’re pleased to continue our participation in the LRA
program,” said Michael Cote, Vice President of Business Development
and Sales for Novatel Wireless. “The team designed an award-winning
product and the market feedback has been incredible – from
excellent quality and reliability ratings to editors’ choice
awards, the capabilities and performance of the MiFi 6620 ensure
that customers have access to the information they need, even in
the most remote parts of America.”
The LRA spectrum Verizon has leased covers over 225,000 square
miles in 169 rural counties across 15 states. The program has
reached over 2.7 million people in the most remote areas of the
country. Current LRA participants include Bluegrass Cellular; Cross
