Novatel Wireless introduces new mobile hotspot with touchscreen display


Oct 02, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Novatel Wireless, Inc, a provider of wireless solutions, has unveiled its next-generation MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, a mobile hotspot with a touchscreen display.

MiFi 2 introduces a new user interface based on a 2.8-inch multi-touch interactive color display, letting users control the MiFi device with the touch of a finger.

"Novatel Wireless has again set the design and usability standard with the MiFi 2 next-generation. MiFi 2's new iconic design and leap-forward innovation take our industry-leading user experience to new levels of ease and functionality. With this device, we're giving our MiFi customers an interactive color touchscreen, always-secure, always-reliable connectivity for up to 10 devices, an amazing 11 hours of continuous use, and capabilities that take the MiFi device well beyond pure connectivity," said Peter Leparulo, CEO of Novatel Wireless.



MiFi 2 provides an accelerometer which 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 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 also has a new DLNA-certified Media Center which allows users to enjoy and share their movies, music, presentations and photos stored on microSD cards on connected devices. A user can simply upload photos from their camera to MiFi 2 using a microSD card and start showing them on any DLNA-enabled television or compatible devices.


MiFi 2 has a new architecture and firmware developed by Novatel Wireless that optimizes the performance indicators for users. By advancing the technology at the core of the MiFi architecture, MiFi 2 empowers users with up to 11 hours of usage time, even while streaming live video.

Novatel Wireless has incorporated a power management conscious embedded agent in the MiFi 2 that automatically enhances the user experience and extends battery life. As a result, users can go a full business day without having to worry about recharging.
