MiFi Device Offers Enterprise-Class Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot for Remote Workgroups and Business Travelers

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. — November 4, 2009 — iPass® Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a leading provider of enterprise mobility services, today announced the industry's first enterprise-class mobile Wi-Fi hotspot service, available in the United States.

Novatel Wireless' MiFi™ 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot is a mobile broadband device that creates a personal cloud of high-speed Internet connectivity that can be easily shared between multiple users and Wi-Fi devices or used by a single user as a USB-connected 3G modem. iPass has adapted the Novatel Wireless' consumer-oriented MiFi to be ‘plug and play' for the enterprise user. The iPass MiFi devices are factory-configured with customer-specific SSID and security keys and configured into the customer's iPassConnect™ mobility manager software. This guarantees a secure connection and eliminates user or IT set-up requirements. The IT manager is given visibility and control over usage, policies and asset protection through the advanced reporting that comes with the iPass Management Portal. Enterprise users experience one-click connectivity, gaining access to the Internet and corporate resources.

"iPass is committed to providing an expanding portfolio of enterprise mobility services for distributed enterprises who depend heavily on an increasingly mobile workforce. The introduction of a customer configured, enterprise-class mobile MiFi device is part of our ongoing commitment to support users—irrespective of the device type and network they use—and also support IT needs for visibility, security, and lower support costs," said Steven Wastie, senior vice president, marketing, iPass Inc.
