It is believed that Bell introduced its MiFi 2372 router on November 30, 2009.  The unit made by Novatel was made available at Bell outlets and retail stores at the end of last month.  The projected cost is about $249.95 or $99.95 when you get a three year contract.  The unit allows you to connect five devices at the same time.  This comes at a time when the competitive market in Canada is fierce.

The Bell MiFi allows users to gain high speed internet access wherever there is cellular phone service available.  The user is able to connect items such as laptops, gaming units, mp3 devices as well as smart phones.  The user is able to access a variety of applications through the MiFi unit and their mobile phone.

The unit has the added benefit of a 16 GB memory card slot for data.  It can be used with Windows or Mac operating systems.  It has a powerful GPS receiver to search for the best signal and has worldwide receiving capabilities.

The MiFi has speed up to 7.2 mbps.  It uses the NovaSpeed application which makes downloading and uploading faster.  The user can experience faster data transfers with little or no buffering and minimal slowdowns.

With the high speed and GPS system, the Bell MiFi has the ability to be used in moving vehicles.  This allows multiple users even in the same car to access the internet through their phones or laptops.

In addition to the MiFi 2372, it is rumored that Bell is also be releasing Novatels U998 HSPA+ Turbo Stick which provides modem services for a single user.  There is currently no information on the cost of this unit.  The MiFi has been available in Europe but has not been released yet in the United States.
