Novatel Wireless Launches NovaDrive Cloud-Based Storage Service

MiFi Customers Gain Access to Unlimited Storage, 256 bit Encryption and Remote Wipe if Lost or Stolen

LAS VEGAS, March 23, 2010 - International CTIA Wireless 2010 (1506, Central Hall 3) - Novatel
Wireless, Inc., (Nasdaq: NVTL) a leading provider of wireless broadband
solutions, today announced the launch of NovaDrive(TM) powered by Nomadesk
technology, a MiFi(TM) Trusted Partner. NovaDrive gives Novatel Wireless MiFi
Intelligent Mobile Hotspot customers, as well as other mobile broadband
users, the ability to share, synchronize, encrypt, back-up and store files to
access from any laptop or web-based, hand-held mobile device. Novatel
customers can download a free 30-day trial of NovaDrive at
www.NovaDrive.net.

The MiFi platform represents the industry's first Intelligent Mobile
Hotspot, a new product category for mobile broadband that lets users put
their world of content, services and connectivity in their pocket. Unlike
existing router solutions that require an external broadband USB modem and
serve only to provide connectivity, the MiFi platform creates a personal
cloud of high-speed Internet connectivity that can be easily shared between
multiple users and up to five Wi-Fi devices such as laptops, tablets,
cameras, gaming devices and multimedia players.

NovaDrive gives mobile users increased access to their data from any
location, while providing an extra layer of security and unlimited storage.*
With this launch, Novatel Wireless will offer existing MiFi customers and
other broadband users a free downloadable NovaDrive account at
www.NovaDrive.net. Customers can sign-up to receive a personal file
server with unlimited capacity, and all the other NovaDrive features, for
approximately US$50 per year, or a business file server, which provides
unlimited storage and collaboration with an unlimited number of team members,
for US$15 per month. For added protection, NovaDrive also supports
TheftGuard(TM) technology, where users can shred or restore data remotely in
the event of theft and they can even locate the mobile device using
GoogleMaps.

"This offering will provide our existing MiFi community, and other
potential MiFi users, with premier cloud storage services seen in the market
today," said Rob Hadley, CMO, Novatel Wireless, Inc. "We are very happy to
bring to market a cloud-based solution with unlimited storage capacity,
256-bit encryption, and added security service to store and share photos,
videos, presentations and documents through any mobile device. We look
forward to expanding this offering quickly to support the MiFi local storage
which allows seamless access and synchronization to the SD removable storage
on MiFi to and from the cloud."

Millions of people risk losing their unprotected, critical data every
day. As the amount of unprotected data stored on multiple devices increases,
it becomes harder to synchronize and easier to lose. Keeping data secure,
synchronized, backed up and available can be expensive and require in-house
IT expertise. When customers are working on the road, NovaDrive allows
individuals and business teams to secure, sync, share and backup data with no
limits or change in behavior. NovaDrive acts just like a hard drive, storing
important documents in one place with remote access. Users simply drag and
drop their docs into the mobile file server, and files are immediately
encrypted, backed up and available for file sharing.
