AT&T MiFi Liberate mobile hotspot Review

, Jan 2nd 2013 Discuss [0]

With the AT&T MiFi Liberate you’ve got what’s straight up the most advanced mobile hotspot on the planet, complete with a full-color touchscreen, microSD card storage, and DLNA connectivity.

The hardware here was created by Novatel Wireless and the network is all AT&T, and as this is just one of two AT&T hotspots on the market at the moment, you’ll find that the few features it hold above the head of its brethren do indeed make it worth the extra few bucks you’ll be paying right out the gate.

Novatel patent infringement lawsuit against ZTE and FWC still stands [UPDATED]

, Apr 5th 2012 Discuss [0]

This week the folks at Novatel Wireless have been allowed to continue a lawsuit against competitors ZTE Corp, ZTE USA, and Franklin Wireless Corp for patent infringement on key architecture and functionality of mobile hotspots.
