The MiFi 2200 gives customers the ability, for the first time, to create a personal Wi-Fi cloud that can connect up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices to the Internet over Cellular South's mobile broadband 3G high-speed data network.

The MiFi 2200 is the world's smallest mobile Wi-Fi hotspot weighing just over 2 ounces with the thickness of eight stacked credit cards. The device, which provides simultaneous 3G high-speed data access for notebook computers, netbooks, smartphones, PDAs, cameras, portable gaming devices, MP3 players and more, combines a variety of valuable easy-to-use features into its simple design.

"MiFi is the fastest and easiest way to get online on-the-go for multiple users and offers our customers the ultimate in personal communications freedom," said Wade Smith, director of Product Development and Management for Cellular South. "With the simple push of a button, they can now wirelessly access the Internet from virtually anywhere and at any time with a wide variety of WiFi-enabled devices. Because it supports multiple users, customers can now share their Cellular South 3G mobile broadband connection with friends, family members and co-workers."

The sleek, tiny device measures just 3.5" x 2.3" x 0.4" and is small enough to fit in a pocket or the palm of your hand. The MiFi 2200 features integrated CDMA and Wi-Fi antennas, advanced security and authentication technologies, GPS-enabling for location-based services and supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The rechargeable battery provides up to four hours of active use and 40 hours of standby time on a single charge when one device is connected through Wi-Fi.

"The MiFi 2200 offers unprecedented possibilities for students, mobile workers and families to all stay connected while on the go," Smith said. "It's perfect for the mobile professional and creates a virtual office wherever you go for you and your co-workers and staff."
