Novatel Wireless, Inc., (Nasdaq:MIFI), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Internet of Things, delivers comprehensive managed services for new telematics offering to surveillance specialist QVIS Monitoring LTD in the United Kingdom. Under the partnership, Novatel Wireless is supplying QVIS with a feature-rich out of the box-ready telematics solution which includes the MiFi® Drive model MT 3060, events reporting software, and airtime. The new offering enables QVIS to add a new line of service with recurring revenue to their business model, with mobile tracking solutions optimized for both usage based insurance and fleet management servicing consumers, commercial businesses, and government fleets.

"Novatel Wireless was quickly identified as having best, most versatile offering on the market," said Darryl Froome, Account Manager of QVIS LTD. "QVIS is known for providing sophisticated monitoring services to businesses, so the addition of mobile tracking is a perfect complete to our portfolio. Novatel Wireless delivers a compelling proposition with best in class technology, managed services and support, and airtime in one tight bundle.

The MiFi Drive mobile tracking solution is optimized for quick and simple deployment, comprised of a device, software, and cellular airtime. The customer receives the MT 3060, a cellular powered plug-and-play device that can be installed in minutes by any driver via the vehicle's OBD II port. The device's on-board smart agent collects and controls critical vehicle data and securely delivers that information to the cloud. With the software, the customer is empowered to run a series of real-time reports based on customized events, such as location, driver behaviour, and vehicle diagnostics. QVIS offers the service via a monthly fee to their business customers.

"We're delighted to have been selected as the preferred solution for the launch of this new business offering," said John Carney, Novatel Wireless executive vice president of sales and marketing.
