SAN DIEGO, November 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Intelligent Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot Providing Wireless Internet 
Connectivity for Multiple Devices Through a Hungarian Operator

Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVTL), a provider of wireless broadband
access solutions and Mobilx, a distributor and e-tailer for data mobility
offerings, today announced that Pannon, one of Hungary's leading mobile
operators, is the first Hungarian operator to launch Novatel Wireless' MiFi
2352 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot.

The MiFi 2352 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot represents a new category of
mobile broadband device supporting a rich application environment for both
enterprise customers and consumers. The device creates a portable, personal
cloud of high-speed Internet connectivity that can be shared between multiple
users and up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices such as laptops, MIDs, UMPCs,
smartphones, cameras, gaming devices or portable media players. MiFi provides
freedom from Wi-Fi hotspots, allowing users to bring Internet access anywhere
and share that access with a set of Wi-Fi devices.

"More and more people are using Pannon's mobile Internet service. This is
due not only to the almost nationwide coverage and favorable package offers,
but also to the wide range of devices available," said Niklas Lind, Pannon's
Internet director. "With Novatel's MiFi mobile hotspot, we are once again
exceeding customer demand. In fact, among all providers, it is Pannon's
customers who can use 3G/HSPA connection in the most settlements in Hungary."

"As the second largest mobile operator in Hungary, Pannon has the
technology expertise and extensive customer base that will ensure the success
of this unprecedented device," said Akos Gulyas, CEO of Mobilx. "As both
professionals and personal users around the world demand more comprehensive
and secure connectivity solutions, we are very pleased to work with Pannon to
supply and support this and other innovative Novatel products to the European
market."

The internal (ROM) storage, up to 16GB of expandable memory via MicroSD
creates a flexible and robust platform capable of supporting a variety of
location-based applications and enabling the storage of personal content such
as music, video and pictures. MiFi does not require any type of installation
or previously installed software. Users simply need to turn on the unit to
connect to Wi-Fi enabled handsets or devices.

"As demand for innovative mobility solutions for business and personal
use grows, partners such as Mobilx are crucial to Novatel as we work to
expand our reach to all corners of the globe," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel
Wireless. "Mobilx has the established relationships and product expertise to
help deliver the industry's most innovative solutions to markets throughout
Europe."

MiFi is currently available at Pannon's selected shops and via Pannon's
Netshop.
