SAN DIEGO, May 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novatel Wireless, Inc., (Nasdaq:MIFI), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that its latest MiFi® brand mobile hotspot, model MiFi 6630, will launch with Bell Mobility on Canada's largest 4G LTE network this month.
The new MiFi 6630, based on the award-winning U.S. MiFi 6600 series family, is a powerful mobile hotspot, designed for customers in cities, small towns or rural and remote communities looking for super-fast wireless broadband connectivity.
Capable of speeds up to 150 Mbps, with average speeds between 10 and 40 Mbps, MiFi 6630 offers simultaneous connectivity for up to 15 devices, is capable of up to 20 hours of use on a single charge, and uniquely doubles as a charger for devices such as smartphones and tablets without compromising performance.
The MiFi 6630 also comes equipped with advanced enterprise-grade security features including anti-spoofing and filtering controls and supports more than eight LTE bands for connectivity in over 200 countries.
This latest generation MiFi series has already received industry awards and Editors' Choice selections. PC Magazine noted it has "almost everything you could want from a mobile hotspot," while CNET called it "super easy to use" and commended it for best user experience with its "helpful touchscreen interface [and] great feature set."
"We are very excited with the upcoming launch of this latest MiFi brand of mobile hotspot on Bell's 4G LTE network," said Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Novatel Wireless. "The team designed an award-winning platform and the market feedback has been incredible – from excellent quality and reliability ratings to editors' choice awards, the capabilities of the MiFi 6630 make it a must-have for the avid Internet user on the go, around the globe."
"The MiFi 6630 is an excellent choice for Canadians everywhere who are looking to take advantage of Canada's largest 4G LTE network for reliable high-speed mobile Internet access," said Blaik Kirby, President of Bell Mobility.
Bell 4G LTE service covers 91% of the Canadian population now and will expand to 98% by the end of 2015 as Bell's industry-leading broadband infrastructure investments take LTE to small towns and remote communities, including Canada's North.
The new MiFi 6630 will be available this month at Bell stores and The Source locations, online at Bell.ca/MiFi6630 or TheSource.ca, or by phone at 1-800-667-0123.
