MiFi

MiFi is a brand of wireless router that acts as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot device.

In many countries, including The United States, Canada, and Mexico, Inseego Corp. (previously known as Novatel Wireless) owns a registered trademark on the "MiFi" brand name; in the United Kingdom, mobile operator Hutchison 3G owns the "MiFi" trademark. Novatel Wireless has never offered an official explanation for the origin of the name "MiFi"; it has been suggested that it is short for "Mobile Wi-Fi". While, some say it's an abbreviation for "My Wi-Fi".

A MiFi device can be connected to a cellular network and provide Internet access for up to fifteen devices. Inseego Corp. introduced the first MiFi device in the United States in May 2009. In the UK, Hutchison 3G's "MiFi" is a similar product from Huawei with the same name.

Novatel Wireless owns a registered trademark on the "MiFi" brand name in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico), and a number of countries worldwide: Bahrain, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Ghana, Hungary, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Pakistan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, and Thailand.

The notable exception is in the UK, where mobile operator 3 owns the "MiFi" trademark. In India the Mi-Fi trademark is owned by Mi-Fi Networks Private Limited.
