Novatel Wireless has announced that its MiFi 2372 mobile broadband router has received certification from the DLNA, enabling the device to be used as a portable media server. The DLNA Server feature, which is built into the MiFi OS, allows users to add videos, music, photos or other files onto a microSD card and stream the content to other devices.
Content is streamed over the MiFi’s Wi-Fi network, which simultaneously maintains a connection to mobile broadband networks for Internet access.
The DLNA-certified MiFi 2372 initially will be available through AT&T. Novatel and AT&T have yet to announce a time-frame for updating existing 2372’s.
