Novatel & Rogers Team Up For Mobile Internet Access

Novatel and Rogers recently announced that they will be strengthening their wireless reach by joining forces. Novatel broadband modems will use Rogers' high speed network to provide users with faster access to the Internet. The modems in question are the Novatel Wireless Merlin X950D, an ExpressCard, and the Ovation MC950D, a USB modem.

Optimized for worldwide GSM/HSPA networks, the Ovation MC950D and Merlin X950D are tri-band HSPA and Quad-Band EDGE/GPRS modems designed for maximum performance and durability. Rogers' subscribers can plug these modems into their laptop computers for instant on-the-go mobile broadband access. Customers will enjoy a new level of freedom to check email, search the Web or access important business documents while at home, at the office, or on the road.

With support for significantly faster throughput than legacy mobile data modems, the MC950D and X950D offer speeds that rival those of fixed-line DSL connections. Both modems feature fully integrated antennae, and equalizer support to improve performance in noisy and highly mobile environments.

The two modems will become available this summer. Feel free to post your comments regarding details of the experience, should you decide to sign up. Of course, we'll post updates regarding the experience, should sources become available.
