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."

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."
