Novatel Wireless and O2 UK announced today that the Novatel Wireless Ovation MC930D USB modem was now available on the O2 network in the UK. The device is being marketed as the O2 Mobile Broadband USB Modem.

The device has been optimized for Europe, but is a globally operating modem and can hit download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and upload speeds of 2.1 Mbps on any worldwide HSPDA/HSUPA network. The modem is very small with measurements of only 70 x 25 x 12 mm. Pricing is unknown at this time.
