14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless broadband access solutions provider Novatel Wireless and The Carphone Warehouse, the leading retailer of mobile phones and services in the UK, announced today the inking of an agreement for the introduction of Novatel Wireless' Intelligent Mobile Hotspot 2352 in the country on T-Mobile's airwaves.
Novatel Wireless Intelligent Mobile Hotspot 2352 comes to the UK market as a mobile broadband device featuring support for a rich application environment that customers can benefit from. The new Intelligent Hotspot 2352 comes with support for GPS, in addition to delivering connectivity through its broadband modem features. According to its maker, the hotspot enables its owner to create a “personal cloud of high-speed Internet connectivity” that will provide connectivity to a number of up to five devices with Wi-Fi connectivity on board, including laptops, MIDs, UMPCs, smartphones, gaming devices or portable media players.
“As mobile broadband connectivity increasingly becomes a priority for both business and entertainment purposes, our customers will embrace the flexibility of the Novatel Wireless Intelligent Mobile Hotspot 2352,” said Andrew Harrison, UK CEO, The Carphone Warehouse. “With freedom from hotspots, users can leverage the device to access email, check their social networks and download files from anywhere there is a mobile connection, including moving trains or vehicles.”
The new solution comes with improved flexibility offered by the inclusion of internal memory, with the possibility to add more storage space into the equation through a MicroSD memory card slot that supports 16GB cards, and with its GPS capabilities, all of which contribute to enabling support for a series of location-based applications, or for carrying personal files like music, videos or photos. Moreover, the new hotspot does not require installation of certain software solutions and delivers Wi-Fi connectivity as soon as it is turned on.
“Partnering with The Carphone Warehouse will enable us to provide our customers with unmatched connectivity solutions,” said Rob Hadley, CMO of Novatel Wireless. “The combination of The Carphone Warehouse’s nimble marketing and broad customer base with Novatel's technology innovation will enable us to deliver stronger service levels and enhanced customer value.”
