TIME Magazine Recognizes Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200

November 19, 2009

Novatel Wireless (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, today announced that its industry-first MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot was recognized as number two on the list of “The Best Travel Gadgets of 2009″ by TIME Magazine.

MiFi 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 the palm of their hand. MiFi creates a personal cloud of high-speed Internet connectivity that can be easily shared between Wi-Fi devices such as laptops, cameras, gaming devices and multimedia players, even in a moving train or automobile.

The device’s portability and ease-of-use combined with the unprecedented ability to connect up to five Wi-Fi devices or five users simultaneously, without tethering, has created a new product category. The MiFi products serve as an intelligent, open platform capable of hosting advanced software applications and flexible enough to address the continued evolution of mobile broadband.

“It is very satisfying to have MiFi highlighted as one of the best travel gadgets of 2009 by one of the most respected and popular magazines in the United States,” said Rob Hadley, CMO of Novatel Wireless. “This recognition is a testament to our ongoing efforts to deliver innovative solutions that meet growing consumer needs for mobile connectivity while on the go.”

According to TIME, “Existing Wi-Fi networks often fail to deliver, which can be especially frustrating when you’re paying ridiculous prices to hotels for access to their networks. Novatel’s MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot takes away your wireless headaches by tapping seamlessly into Sprint’s and Verizon’s vast 3G networks… you’ll never have to go hunting for a hotspot ever again.”
