Novatel Wireless Announces Commercial Availability of Expedite EU850D Embedded Module for HSDPA Networks



    Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:NVTL), a leading provider of
    wireless broadband solutions, today introduced the EU850D Expedite(R)
    Embedded Module, providing OEMs and laptop manufacturers worldwide
    with an ideal solution to integrate high-speed 3G wireless
    functionality into their product lines. Building on the robust
    qualities of the current Expedite product line, the EU850D is a global
    card providing data rates up to 7.2 Mbps with a connection
    significantly more secure and reliable than Wi-Fi.

    The patent-pending EU850D features an integrated SIM slot,
    eliminating the need for OEMs to develop a slot in the host device. By
    reducing the design and wiring constraints, Novatel Wireless enables
    its OEM partners to develop better products for less money through
    reduced development and certification cycles. Network operators also
    benefit from lowered demands on their networks and the ability to
    increase network capacity while delivering higher throughput
    performance.

    "Novatel Wireless has established itself as a leader in the
    wireless industry by continually monitoring the evolving needs of our
    customers and centering product development around those criteria,"
    said Brad Weinert, president of Novatel Wireless. "The EU850D was
    designed with the specific needs of our OEM customers in mind and
    offers added value by reducing certification costs and improving
    time-to-market."

    Optimized for Europe, the Expedite EU850D embedded module has
    diversity with the 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz bands on HSDPA and UMTS
    networks worldwide. The modem is backwards compatible with GPRS/EDGE
    networks, automatically keeping the user connected when roaming
    outside of 3G coverage areas. The inclusion of a next-generation
    diversity and equalizer chipset and advanced receiver technologies,
    provides users with the best possible performance, regardless of radio
    conditions or movement in and out of buildings.
