Leading intelligent wireless solutions provider Novatel Wireless announced today its 4G LTE MiFi 4620L Intelligent Mobile Hotspot has been selected as a winner in the gadgets, handsets, and devices category for the 2012 Mobile Merit Awards for the third year in a row; the company was also selected as a winner in the mobile health category.

Novatel Wireless is a leader in the mobile broadband industry, bringing mobile broadband devices to the next generation. The company’s MiFi platform is the industry’s first intelligent mobile hotspot, and the mobile broadband device allows users to hold their worlds of content, services, and connectivity in the palms of their hands. The device creates a personal Wi-Fi cloud that is capable of sharing high-speed 4G LTE mobile broadband Internet connectivity with up to 10 Wi-Fi-enabled devices all at once, including laptops, tablets, gaming devices, and multimedia players. The MiFi 4620L is also a global ready device, offering the ultimate online experience for users desiring to stay connected while traveling internationally and giving consumers and business travelers Web access in more than 205 countries. Another of the device’s features is an extended battery pack accessory, and it also comes equipped with an interactive OLED display. The MiFi 4620L is currently available through Verizon Wireless.

Selected a winner in the mobile health category, in collaboration with VGo Communications, the Novatel Wireless Expedite E362 PCI Express Mini Card for 4G LTE, integrated in the VGo robot, allows users to be anywhere at any time by providing remote-controlled robotic tele-presence. VGo has effectively created a solution for two of the major challenges in healthcare today – skilled resources availability and cost containment – by creating an easy-to-use platform that allows users to “be there without being there.” This technology reduces costs and increases productivity by allowing staff to instantly travel across distances at the push of a button – whether to a patient’s bedside, a lab, a clinic, an elderly facility, or a home.

Headquartered in San Diego, Calif., Novatel Wireless is an industry leader in designing and developing intelligent wireless solutions based on 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies. The company provides specialized wireless solutions for carriers, distributors, retailers, OEMs, and vertical markets worldwide, and its Intelligent Mobile Hotspot products, software, USB modems, embedded modules, and smart M2M modules provide customers with anytime, anywhere communications solutions.
