New 4G LTE Converged Voice and Data MiFi
Powered⢠Device Drives New Era of Home Voice and Data
Access
Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of
intelligent wireless solutions, today introduces MiFi Homeâ¢, a
powerful all-in-one solution that replaces wired voice and Internet
options for fast, easy phone and 4G LTE Internet connectivity in
the home, small office, and remote work station.
One simple, fast, effective solution for all telephony and
Internet needs.
MiFi Home⢠delivers both digital telephone service and
Internet connectivity in one combined portable device and provides
wireless carriers an alternative to bundle voice and data rate
plans and services for the home and small office customers.
- Keep your phone and disconnect your
landline. By simply plugging an existing landline cordless or
corded telephone into MiFi Homeâ¢, users can have the convenience
of a reliable telephone connection without their landline. MiFi
Home⢠users can keep their current phone number or get a new one.
And wireless carriers now can offer an alternative to legacy fixed
line services. MiFi Home⢠will even maintain the ability to make
calls during power outages with a battery powered backup providing
both talk and standby time.
- Expand in-home data access. MiFi
Home⢠not only converges fixed line and wireless voice, it also
features expanded capability for all in-home data services. It can
connect up to 10 Wi-Fi enabled devices such as laptops, computers,
tablets, eReaders, gaming consoles, music players, printers and
more and also has three Ethernet ports for connecting printers and
network storage devices.
- Versatile solution for small
businesses. MiFi Home⢠is also a powerful solution for small
businesses. Whether you need a home office, a mobile office or
youâre setting up a temporary remote work site, MiFi Home⢠can
help businesses to stay connected with fast and simple setup. By
simply plugging in a phone or other office devices into the
Ethernet ports, the user has immediate access to both data and
voice services including caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting,
call holding and three-way calling.
Upgradeable to Voice over LTE (VoLTE) - Gives mobile
broadband operators time-to-market advantage for cost savings and
advance service offerings.
MiFi Home⢠is VoLTE-capable and is easily upgraded
over-the-air with VoLTE services upon carrier availability. By
using an all-IP packet-based service for voice and data, VoLTE not
only provides significant cost savings, it will allow operators to
recover less efficient circuit switch 2G channels for additional
data capacity. Enabling simultaneous voice and data traffic on LTE
in a unified format, VoLTE provides operators with an end-to-end IP
connection between their mobile equipment and their core network.
VoLTE also enables new services such as video calling,
multi-device, single number and multimedia sharing services across
mobile broadband devices.
Unprecedented ease-of-use.
Built on the MiFi technology platform, MiFi Home⢠incorporates
Novatel Wirelessâ expertise in human interface engineering for
optimal ease-of-use and reliability. MiFi Home⢠introduces a
user-friendly touch-key navigation display, so users can see data
usage, connected devices, voice and data signal strength, backup
battery life and passwords at glance. Additional security features
are supported through software improving the security of password
and encrypted data.
âWe are very excited to be introducing MiFi Home, our first 4G
LTE converged voice and data solution for in-home and small office
connectivity. MiFi Home has something for everyone. MiFi Home will
let users replace their landline connections for voice and data and
consolidate them into a single wireless service. We believe MiFi
Home will help open a new category of subscribers, contribute to
the continued growth of the addressable broadband market and create
a unique opportunity for carriers. We are very proud to be
launching this product category first with Verizon with their 4G
LTE Broadband Router with Voice which was made commercially
available earlier today,â said Peter Leparulo, CEO of Novatel
Wireless.
