SAN DIEGO, April 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Novatel Wireless
(Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of wireless broadband solutions,
is pleased to announce that its MiFi(TM) Intelligent Mobile Hotspot
has been named the Most Innovative Product (non-Handset) in the
2010 Mobile News Awards.
The MiFi platform represents the industry's first Intelligent
Mobile Hotspot, a new category of mobile broadband that lets users
put their world of content, services and connectivity in their
pocket. Unlike existing router solutions that require an external
broadband modem and serve only to provide connectivity, the MiFi
platform creates a personal cloud of high-speed Internet
connectivity that can be easily shared between multiple users and
up to five Wi-Fi devices such as laptops, cameras, gaming devices
and multimedia players. The MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot serves
as an intelligent, open platform capable of hosting advanced
software applications and is flexible enough to address the
continued evolution of mobile broadband.
"This recognition from Mobile News highlights the unrivaled
functionality, flexibility and convenience of the MiFi Intelligent
Mobile Hotspot product line, as well as Novatel Wireless' ongoing
dedication to leading the industry with innovative mobile
connectivity solutions for our customers," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless. "It is an
honor to be named the winner of this global, industry wide
competition."
