World Congress 2010 SAN DIEGO, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Novatel Wireless (NASDAQ: NVTL), a leading provider of wireless
broadband solutions, is pleased to announce that its MiFi(TM)
Intelligent Mobile Hotspot has won the GSMA Global Mobile Award for
Best Mobile Connected Device (non-handset). The GSMA Global Mobile
Awards is the mobile industry's leading annual award presentation
that honors excellence and innovation in the mobile communications
industry worldwide. 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. "We
are delighted and honored that GSMA has chosen the MiFi platform as
the Best Mobile Connected Device at Mobile World Congress," said
Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless. "As we continue to expand the
capabilities of our product line, this recognition validates our
ongoing commitment to developing the most advanced connectivity
