Intelligent Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot Providing Wireless Internet
Connectivity for Multiple Devices Through a Hungarian Operator SAN
DIEGO, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novatel Wireless, Inc.
(NASDAQ:NVTL), a provider of wireless broadband access solutions
and Mobilx, a distributor and e-tailer for data mobility offerings,
today announced that Pannon, one of Hungary's leading mobile
operators, is the first Hungarian operator to launch Novatel
Wireless' MiFi 2352 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot. The MiFi 2352
Intelligent Mobile Hotspot represents a new category of mobile
broadband device supporting a rich application environment for both
enterprise customers and consumers. The device creates a portable,
personal cloud of high-speed Internet connectivity that can be
shared between multiple users and up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices
such as laptops, MIDs, UMPCs, smartphones, cameras, gaming devices
or portable media players. MiFi provides freedom from Wi-Fi
hotspots, allowing users to bring Internet access anywhere and
share that access with a set of Wi-Fi devices. "More and more
people are using Pannon's mobile Internet service. This is due not
only to the almost nationwide coverage and favorable package
offers, but also to the wide range of devices available," said
Niklas Lind, Pannon's Internet director. "With Novatel's MiFi
mobile hotspot, we are once again exceeding customer demand. In
fact, among all providers, it is Pannon's customers who can use
3G/HSPA connection in the most settlements in Hungary." "As the
second largest mobile operator in Hungary, Pannon has the
technology expertise and extensive customer base that will ensure
the success of this unprecedented device," said Akos Gulyas, CEO of
Mobilx. "As both professionals and personal users around the world
demand more comprehensive and secure connectivity solutions, we are
very pleased to work with Pannon to supply and support this and
other innovative Novatel products to the European market." The
internal (ROM) storage, up to 16GB of expandable memory via MicroSD
creates a flexible and robust platform capable of supporting a
variety of location-based applications and enabling the storage of
personal content such as music, video and pictures. MiFi does not
require any type of installation or previously installed software.
Users simply need to turn on the unit to connect to Wi-Fi enabled
handsets or devices. "As demand for innovative mobility solutions
for business and personal use grows, partners such as Mobilx are
crucial to Novatel as we work to expand our reach to all corners of
the globe," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless. "Mobilx has the
established relationships and product expertise to help deliver the
industry's most innovative solutions to markets throughout Europe."
MiFi is currently available at Pannon's selected shops and via
Pannon's Netshop. ABOUT PANNON Pannon is one of Hungary's leading
