SAN DIEGO, Jul 08, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:NVTL), a provider of wireless broadband access solutions and Mobilx, a distributor and e-tailer for data mobility offerings, have signed an agreement for the distribution of the Novatel Wireless MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot to the Mobilx reseller channel throughout Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

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 3G wireless broadband networks become ubiquitous throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East, mobile users will turn to value-added distributors like Mobilx for their wireless solutions," said Rob Hadley, CMO of Novatel Wireless.
