Shenzhen, China -- Huawei, a leader in providing next generation
telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world,
will make business people's dream for high-speed Internet surfing
anytime, anywhere a reality with i-Mo, its new wireless modem. The
smallest wireless modem in the world, i-Mo will debut at the 2009 World
Mobile Congress in Barcelona on 16 February.

Huawei's latest innovation in broadband terminals, i-Mo provides a new
level of convenience to its users. With i-Mo, you no longer need to
carry a bulky Internet cable. The size of a small key chain, it fits in
your pocket or wallet. You simply turn on the Wi-Fi switch and enjoy
immediate access to a high speed HSPA network. i-Mo can automatically
create group Internet access and individual Wi-Fi hot points for
network digital equipment such as laptops, mobile phones, cameras,
games consoles, and MP4 devices.

But that's not all. i-Mo supports plug-and-play and data transmission
speeds up to 7.2 Mbps (downlink) and 5.76 Mbps (uplink). Music and
videos can be uploaded or downloaded in seconds. With its built-in
Micro SD card slot, i-Mo can also serve as a USB disk. All these
features have been integrated into the smallest wireless modem in the
world.

"i-Mo is our biggest release since the E220, an innovative USB modem we
delivered to the market in 2006. The E220 sold a record-breaking 9
million units and was dubbed 'the most influential communication
terminal in 2007' by Dean Bubley, the Founder of Disruptive Analysis,"
said Director of Huawei Terminal Marketing Department. "Our unmatched
R&D capabilities allow us to offer operators continuous innovation and
profitable growth opportunities in mobile broadband services. i-Mo will
be one of Huawei's most important strategies in 2009 for maintaining
its leadership in the mobile broadband market. We believe it will be
the next E220 bringing transformational changes to the mobile broadband
market."

Huawei, ranked number one in mobile broadband sales, has shipped over
25 million worldwide. With a reputation for innovation, Huawei has
enjoyed numerous successes in the mobile broadband market and continued
to expand its market share.

i-Mo will be available to customers in Q2 2009.

i-Mo offers convenient wireless Internet access

i-Mo has an elegant, elliptical profile that distinguishes it from
competitive products. Unlike other, traditional product designs for
electronic products, i-Mo introduces a new aesthetic with its
ornamental design and will change the way people think about their
modems going forward.
