Mobile & Wireless: LABS GALLERY: Novatel MiFi 2200 Mobile Wi-Fi Hot Spot Provides Powerful Wi-Fi Connection


Access to mobile 3G broadband connections has become more common in recent years, whether through 3G USB dongles or by tethering to smartphones. But options for mobile offices and traveling work teams have been limited. The Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200, available for both Verizon and Sprint networks, offers a simple-to-manage portable Wi-Fi hot spot that provides acceptable 3G broadband connectivity and a surprisingly powerful Wi-Fi connection for such a small device.

The Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200, available for both Verizon and Sprint networks, offers a simple-to-manage portable Wi-Fi hot spot that provides acceptable 3G broadband connectivity and a surprisingly powerful Wi-Fi connection for such a small device.
  • Powerful Hot Spot

    Smaller than a deck of playing cards, the Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 provides a surprisingly powerful Wi-Fi hot spot that delivers 3G broadband connectivity pretty much anywhere.

  • MobiLink Software

    The MobiLink wireless connection softwareprovided on the MiFi 2200 itself and accessible through a USB connectionis required for initial activation of the device. After activation, the software is no longer required.

  • Management Checks

    Once a computer connects to the MiFi 2200 over Wi-Fi, all management and status checks of the device can be done through a standard browser-based interface.

  • Configuration Options

    The browser-based management interface provides all configuration options that one would expect from any Wi-Fi access point, including security and network management options, as well as battery management settings for the device itself.
