CradlePoint Announces Support of the Novatel MiFi with Latest Firmware Release

Now Available Firmware Version 1.6 Allows Tethering of Novatel`s MiFi
BOISE, Idaho--(Business Wire)--
CradlePoint Technology, the global leader in 3G and 4G network solutions, has
added Novatel`s MiFi to its` list of supported devices, allowing both Sprint and
Verizon Wireless MiFi owners to use the device as a modem when attached to a
CradlePoint router.

"Customers can increase the range of their Wi-Fi signal, connect up to 64 Wi-Fi
devices, and add features like automatic failover and unlimited LAN connections
by tethering the MiFi to a CradlePoint router," said Jack Alton, VP Sales North
America for CradlePoint. "It really is a terrific option for users that need
more range and speed than the MiFi can manage, like when you need to cover an
entire home or office with a Wi-Fi signal," added Alton.

Normally, when the MiFi is connected, or tethered, to a laptop the Wi-Fi feature
is disabled. However, when tethered to a CradlePoint router, the MiFi is seen as
a simple modem, giving users a Wi-Fi signal even while the MiFi is charging.
Also, when the MiFi is connected as a modem, the CradlePoint router`s feature
set takes over for a much more robust user experience.

"We see this as a great solution for someone who wants the simplicity of the
MiFi while traveling, but needs the bandwidth and range of a full-powered router
when at home or work," stated Mike Ginsberg of 3GStore.com.

CradlePoint`s firmware release version 1.6 includes support for Sprint`s Sierra
Wireless Aircard 402, Sierra Wireless USB 598, Blackberry Bold (9000) and fixes
some issues with BlackBerrys running 4.5 software. Effected CradlePoint models
include; CBA250 Cellular Broadband Adapter, CTR500 Mobile Broadband Travel
Router, MBR800 Mobile Broadband Router for Kiosks, MBR1000 Mobile Broadband
Router and MBR1100 Mobile Broadband Router with VPN.
