SAN DIEGO, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novatel Wireless
(NASDAQ: NVTL), a leading provider of wireless broadband solutions,
today announced that it has successfully completed the first data
transmission call using Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G technology.
LTE provides high data rates of up to 100Mbps on the uplink and 50
Mbps on the downlink and an enhanced user experience by leveraging
new, wider bandwidth spectrum. Many operators are already planning
to overlay LTE on their 3G networks to augment data capacity.
Novatel Wireless is working with operators and plans to launch
commercial data devices in late 2010. "We are pleased to achieve
these important first data transmission milestones on next
generation technologies, last week with dual carrier HSPA+, and now
with LTE, and we expect to leverage our industry-leading position
to offer 4G wireless data products to our customers," said Dr. Slim
Souissi, CTO, Novatel Wireless. "We believe our aggressive
development efforts will enable us to deliver these innovative
solutions with the fastest possible time to market." ABOUT NOVATEL
