SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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." The TIME
