First mobile operator outside of the US market to offer the highly
praised 4G LTE MiFi 2
BARCELONA, Spain -- (Business Wire)
Novatel
Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVTL) today announced that its
next-generation MiFi® 2 – the first mobile hotspot with a
touchscreen display and the most feature rich mobile hotspot in the
market – will launch commercially with Bell on Canada’s largest 4G LTE
Network this March 2013.
MiFi 2 introduces an entirely new user interface based on a 2.8”
multi-touch interactive color display, letting users control the MiFi
device with the touch of a finger. It has a beautiful design, which
features a minimalist style and a vibrant color screen. MiFi 2 brings a
new set of features and services which redefines how users interact and
use their mobile hotspots. The touch-screen display drives a better,
more intuitive connection between devices and people. An accelerometer
ensures that users can hold the device however they like and the
touchscreen display will adjust automatically. The features and
functionality of MiFi 2 are showcased by icons that allow users to
easily discover and interact with the capabilities of MiFi 2 for almost
any use case, such as data usage, on-board shared storage, the MiFi
Media Center and location based services. MiFi 2 can connect up to 10
Wi-Fi enabled devices simultaneously and empowers users with up to 11
hours of usage time, even while streaming live video.
MiFi 2 has already received numerous industry awards and Editors' Choice
selections as the most advanced and best-performing mobile hotspot
available with statements such as “The Best Mobile Hotspot I've Ever
Used," by GIZMODO
and “takes mobile hotspots to the next level,” by PC
Magazine.
“We are very excited with the upcoming launch of the MiFi 2 on Bell’s 4G
LTE network,” said Rob Hadley, CMO of Novatel Wireless. “The market
feedback has been incredible and we look forward to bringing Bell’s MiFi
customers the experience of an interactive color touchscreen,
always-secure, always-reliable connectivity with an amazing 11 hours of
continuous use, and capabilities that take the MiFi device well beyond
pure connectivity.”
“Bell Mobility customers will be among the first in the world to enjoy
high-speed wireless broadband access with Novatel Wireless’
high-performance MiFi 2 mobile hotspot,” said Adel Bazerghi, Senior Vice
President of Products at Bell Mobility. ”With access to Canada’s largest
4G LTE mobile network, Bell customers using the advanced MiFi 2 will be
able to move data across multiple devices at speeds often exceeding that
of a fixed wireline connection.”
The MiFi 2 will be available on Bell’s 4G LTE network in Canada in the
coming weeks.
