Novatel Wireless Introduces Next Generation HSDPA/HSUPA USB Mobile Data Modem for Worldwide Broadband Connectivity

Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:NVTL), a leading provider of
wireless broadband solutions, today announced the Ovation(TM) MC930D
USB Modem, a HSDPA/HSUPA mobile broadband device designed to provide
consumers and enterprise users with reliable and secure Internet
access over the world´s leading cellular data networks.

Optimized for Europe, the Ovation MC930D is a global modem
designed to provide peak download speeds of 7.2 Mbps and upload speeds
of 2.1 Mbps on any worldwide HSDPA/HSUPA network supporting the 2100
MHz band. Based on the same award-winning design as the MC950D, it
features an extremely streamlined form factor (70 x 25 x 12 mm) and
fits comfortably in any pocket, enabling the user to securely check
email, surf the Web and remain connected to corporate resources.

"European mobile users require wireless broadband solutions that
provide the flexibility to work the way they live," said Brad Weinert,
president of Novatel Wireless. "The Ovation MC930D provides a great
alternative for any consumer who wants the speed of a fixed DSL
connection with the freedom to access their online life anytime,
anywhere."

The MC930D ships with Mobilink(TM) Lite Connection Manager
Software preinstalled on the modem´s on-board memory, eliminating the
need for Mac and Windows users to download drivers from a CD. A Dual
USB Y-cable is included to provide increased power when using the
modem in weak signal areas. The integrated internal antenna offers
both receiver diversity and equalizer support to improve performance
in crowded environments.

The Ovation MC930D is currently in the final stages of testing
with leading carriers worldwide and is expected to be available
February 2008 through a variety of Novatel Wireless´ new and existing
tier-one operator customers.
