Novatel Wireless' V640 ExpressCard/34 Allows Notebooks to Connect to
Verizon Wireless' National Wireless Broadband Network

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., and SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon
Wireless, the nation's leading wireless service provider, and Novatel
Wireless (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of wireless broadband access
solutions, today announced the availability of a WWAN PCI ExpressCard/34,
the V640, for use with Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess service. Available
online today, the V640 ExpressCard enables owners of notebooks with
ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 slots to wirelessly connect to the
Internet at broadband speeds via Verizon Wireless' national high-speed 3G
Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) network.
Nearly half the size of standard PC Cards, Novatel Wireless' V640 is a
compact and convenient product for mobile notebook users, featuring plug-n-
play so that the ExpressCard can be plugged in or removed at any time. In
addition, the V640 ExpressCard has an advanced dual-band diversity design
that incorporates an external flip antenna, maximizing data speed
performance and allowing for stronger network signal reception. With the
V640 and BroadbandAccess from Verizon Wireless, enterprise customers and
consumers with ExpressCard slots in their notebooks can now remain
wirelessly connected to colleagues, clients, family and friends at any
time, when out of the office or away from a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Included with the V640 ExpressCard is Verizon Wireless' VZAccess
Manager software. After installing the software, a setup wizard guides the
customer through a simple installation process and then allows the customer
to specify preferences. After completing the installation, Verizon Wireless
customers simply plug the V640 into the ExpressCard slot in their notebooks
to receive instant access to the most award-winning, wide-area, high-speed
wireless data service in the nation. In addition, the V640 ExpressCard is
backward compatible with Verizon Wireless' NationalAccess network, allowing
uninterrupted use outside of the EV-DO coverage area.
"Expanding and strengthening our relationship with Verizon Wireless,
and making sure its enterprise and consumer users have the most innovative
wireless computing capabilities, are key objectives for Novatel Wireless,"
said Peter Leparulo, chief executive officer of Novatel Wireless. "With the
introduction of our compact and high-speed EV-DO ExpressCards, we continue
to expand our product line and bring the latest wireless broadband
solutions to market."

unlimited BroadbandAccess for Internet browsing, e-mail and intranet access
for an additional $59.99 monthly access. For non-voice customers,
BroadbandAccess is available for $79.99 monthly access for unlimited use
