Novatel Wireless OEMs and Tier-One European Operators Join Forces to Deliver Multi-Pronged 3G Product Portfolio

Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:NVTL), a leading provider of
wireless broadband access solutions, today announced that four
tier-one operators and two OEM partners, including existing and new
customers, have launched its next generation HSDPA product portfolio
throughout Europe. The customer relationships have resulted in more
than a 25 percent sequential increase in HSDPA EMEA sales in the first
quarter of 2007.

The Company currently has five products commercialized for the
European market across all product portfolio segments of PC and
ExpressCards(TM), embedded modules and Ovation fixed mobile solutions.
The Novatel Wireless Merlin(TM) XU870 HSDPA ExpressCard has now been
launched by four tier-one European operators in seven countries, and
will be made available by two tier-one OEM partners. In addition, the
Company expects to continue its market leadership in Europe with this
form factor by launching the Merlin X950D HSUPA ExpressCard.

The Company also announced that it will bring its popular Ovation
product line of fixed mobile solutions into Europe by launching a
robust next generation Ovation MC870D platform with tier-1 European
operators by the third quarter of 2007. Addressing fixed and mobile
platforms at speeds up to 7.2 Mbps, the Ovation MC870D will have a
diversity antenna for fringe coverage, an embedded connection manager,
and GPS capability for location based services. By downloading a
software application from the Novatel Wireless website, the MC870D
will enable a bridge between local area and wide area networks through
an embedded network module. As a result, multiple users will be able
to connect through a single device to the wide area network.

"We are very encouraged by the growing interest in the product
portfolio for our European business, which has resulted in an increase
in orders from new and existing tier-one operators in the market,"
said Brad Weinert, Acting CEO and COO of Novatel Wireless. "Having
generated over $30 million in sales with our Ovation product line for
EV-DO networks in the first quarter of 2007, we look forward to
delivering a robust HSDPA version of this product line into the
European market. We are very pleased that our trendsetting Ovation
portfolio is quickly becoming a key strategy for our customers to
address both the fixed and mobile markets and to increase their
revenue by incorporating innovative features that support greater
functionality and services."

Samples of the Ovation MC870D are now ready for testing and lab
submission. For additional information on the Ovation family of
