Novatel launches HSUPA USB modem

Novatel Wireless has launched the Ovation MC950D USB modem for HSPA mobile networks. Optimised for HSPA and EDGE/GPRS worldwide networks, the Ovation MC950D is a tri-band HSPA and quad band EDGE/GPRS modem designed to be extremely durable and fit comfortably in any pocket. With support for 7.2 Mbps downlink speeds and 2.1 Mbps uplink upon launch, the MC950D offers users notably faster speeds than legacy mobile data modems. The Ovation MC950D features an antennae, receiver diversity and equaliser support to improve performance in noisy and highly mobile environments. Mobilink Lite Connection Manager Software is pre-installed on the device, improving the user’s experience by eliminating the need to install drivers from a CD. The Ovation MC950D is currently in the final stages of testing with leading carriers throughout EMEA, and is expected to be commercially available this quarter through a variety of Novatel Wireless’ new and existing tier-one operator customers.
