-- Novatel Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVTL), a leading provider of
wireless broadband access solutions, today announced that it will
be showcasing innovative applications developed for the MiFi(TM)
Intelligent Mobile Hotspot platform at Mobile World Congress 2010
in Barcelona, Spain at App Planet in Hall 7, Booth 7A45 from
February 15-18. The Novatel Wireless exclusive MiFi software
platform includes features and functionality that transform the
MiFi from a connectivity device to a full-scale Intelligent Mobile
Hotspot. The MiFi software platform allows any WiFi-enabled device
to take advantage of its applications, and its onboard Web server
enables the MiFi to connect to remote data locations, retrieve data
and present it to the user either online or offline. The platform
architecture is designed to ensure that the operator's network is
protected, while maintaining the ability for new applications and
services to be field-deployed to generate additional ARPU. Novatel
Wireless will be demonstrating applications including: -- AutoVPN:
an always-available, secure service-delivery platform for SMB and
enterprise secure remote access. While providing another level of
security for mobile broadband users, MiFi AutoVPN simplifies VPN
configuration and maintenance and is compatible with leading VPN
server gateways. -- NovaDrive: an application that allows users to
store and access files from local storage, removable storage, or
cloud storage from multiple locations on any device that supports a
browser and Wi-Fi connection. Security and location features are
also supported for the mobile users that extend performance beyond
storage and retrieval to the cloud. -- MiFi PhotoSharing
Application with Eye-Fi: a MiFi application that enables users to
easily and instantly upload photos and video from wherever they
are. "The MiFi software platform provides a universe of potential
for new applications across multiple markets. With the
unprecedented MiFi Landing Page, on-board Linux-based application
processing support, an on-board Web server and media storage
capabilities, the MiFi software platform provides a variety of
exciting and innovative opportunities for consumer and SMB
application development," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless.
"The platform provides new revenue opportunities for operators and
enables markets and usage patterns that have never before existed."
