On December 21, 2009, Marvell announced that the Mobile Excellence Awards (MEA) selected Marvell's Mobile Hotspot (MMH) as this year's best mobile product. Winners of the annual Mobile Excellence Awards were selected across twenty-one categories, based upon strategic initiatives and objectives, the impact of technology used, creativity, ease of use, reach and proven market success.
Marvell's Mobile Hotspot turns any consumer electronic device with an Internet connection into a pocket-sized wireless hotspot. The MMH enables mobile Internet users to carry a Wi-Fi hotspot with them wherever they go, and supports up to eight users. For the first time in history, devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, personal media players, and personal navigation devices can operate as full featured Wi-Fi access points, sharing the mobile handsets' 3G connections to the Internet.
