Novatel Wireless ships 3G UMTS wireless PC card modem
January 7, 2004
Novatel Wireless announced the commencement of commercial shipments of
its Merlin U530 Wireless PC Card Modem and the receipt of $14 million
in new orders scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2004. The Merlin
U530, jointly developed with Lucent Technologies and offered to service
providers through Lucent, is a high speed wide area PC card for laptops
designed to enable mobile users to access email, the Internet and corporate
databases over GSM, GPRS and UMTS networks in Asia, Australia and Europe.
To date, Novatel Wireless has received orders for the Merlin U530 totaling
over $22 million.
Shipments of the Merlin U530 began in late December after recently receiving
CE Marking approval, allowing for the card to be sold into European markets.
CE Marking indicates that the Merlin U530 conforms to the European Commissions
health, safety and environmental protection legislation.
By inserting the Merlin U530 into a laptop computer and installing the
accompanying modem manager software, subscribers on 3G UMTS networks in
Asia, Australia and Europe will be able to stream audio and video content,
send and receive email, browse the Internet, and download large attachments
such as photos, presentations, and spreadsheets at speeds of up to 384
kilobits per second. Compatible with virtual private networks (VPN), the
Merlin U530 enables secure wireless access to important corporate applications
and files stored behind firewalls. The combined solution allows business
professionals to access crucial information, stay in touch with clients
and remain productive while away from the office, ultimately providing
them with a critical competitive advantage.
"Demand from operators is high for our first 3G UMTS wireless data product,"
said Peter Leparulo, chief executive officer of Novatel Wireless. "UMTS
shipments and the new orders offer further validation of our decision
in early 2003 to streamline and concentrate our product development and
sales efforts on the most promising growth opportunities. We expect this
targeted strategy to continue to produce tangible results with the release
of additional new products and an increase in market penetration for existing
products."
