Novatel Wireless (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, is pleased to announce that its MiFi(TM) Intelligent Mobile Hotspot has been named the Most Innovative Product (non-Handset) in the 2010 Mobile News Awards.

The MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot serves as an intelligent, open platform capable of hosting advanced software applications and is flexible enough to address the continued evolution of mobile broadband.

"This recognition from Mobile News highlights the unrivaled functionality, flexibility and convenience of the MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot product line, as well as Novatel Wireless’ ongoing dedication to leading the industry with innovative mobile connectivity solutions for our customers," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless. "It is an honor to be named the winner of this global, industry wide competition."
