Industry's First Intelligent Mobile Hotspot Recognized as
Outstanding Portable Connectivity Gear SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novatel Wireless (NASDAQ: NVTL), a
leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, is pleased to
announce that its MiFi(TM) 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot has been
named a winner in the eighth annual Mobile Star Awards(TM) program,
hosted by mobile technology news portal MobileVillage.com. As in
past years, the Mobile Star Awards program showcases "best of"
entries in dozens of categories including mobile apps, enterprise
mobile software, wireless network products, enterprise success
stories, mobile industry visionaries and more. Winners were chosen
by the thousand of subscribers of MobileVillage's "Go Mobile(TM)" -
a free e-newsletter that delivers headlines and links from top
mobile technology stories on popular websites such as Cnet,
Engadget, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Computerworld, AppScout, and
others. 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 flexible enough to address the continued
evolution of mobile broadband. "It is truly an honor to be named a
'Super Star' by Mobile Village for the MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile
Hotspot," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless. "This recognition
from a leading organization validates our ongoing efforts to lead
the mobile industry by providing our customers with the most
innovative connectivity solutions." "Because 'Go Mobile' readers
are the industry's most savvy mobile business users, Mobile Star
Awards winners can claim they are the users' choice," says Jon
Covington, MobileVillage founder and president. "Winners are chosen
by real users based on real results, not hype. Brand new mobile
services competed on equal footing with well-established solutions,
and both nominees and winners are respected in the mobile industry
as the new leaders to watch." For more information about the annual
