Novatel MiFi Hotspot
Okay, so I am not sure if the MiFi will be a standalone product, but my Spidey senses are saying that it will probably be available for Sprint. I could be completely wrong and it could be an ATT or Verizon exclusive, but instincts tell me something else. Anyways enough guessing on where it is going, what is Mifi? I am not misspelling Wi-Fi. It looks like it will pretty much be a pocket Wi-Fi.
Novatel has been making great PCMCIA, Express, and USB internet cards for some time.It looks like they are ready to make the next leap and offer the MiFi. According to the awesome folks over at Engadget the MiFi should be able to support up to 5 users transmitting a wireless signal within a 30 foot radius. This is really cool, I think, and should be the perfect tool for college students crammed in a dorm room, a meeting at a hotel without Wi-Fi, and a million other situations.
Believe it or not here in the USA there are some places that do not have fiber optic internet, cable internet, or even DSL. Many of these customers have to rely on an aircard and in a multi computer home the decision has to be made who could use it when. Or you could buy an awesome router from the good folks at Cradlepoint. The MiFi should eliminate that decision and let everybody (up to 5) run harmoniously from something the size of a Blackberry. I am really excited about this and if you have any questions contact us and ask for Alex.
