SAN DIEGO - Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of intelligent wireless networking solutions, today announces that Enfora, Inc., a Novatel Wireless company, is launching the Spider MT 3000, a certified dual-band integrated device designed for passenger cars, service vans and light duty trucks. This new platform is purpose-built for the Usage Based Insurance (UBI), telematics, and fleet management markets.

"Due to heightened consumer awareness, growing driver safety initiatives, and need for more timely and relevant vehicle intelligence, driver behavior telematics solutions are experiencing increased momentum for both the consumer and fleet management markets," says Rob Hadley, CMO of Novatel Wireless.
