TITLE: User Interface Document for MobiLink 2.0 Novatel Wireless Inc. DOCUMENT NO: PAGE: 6 of 40 REV: 0 2 OVERVIEW The Novatel Wireless MobiLink™ Communications Software Suite is a family of wireless connectivity applications that connect mobile devices using wireless wide area networks (WWAN) as well as WiFi and Ethernet in a single application to allow quick and easy access to email, the Internet and corporate networks anytime, anywhere. With MobiLink and a wide area wireless device, mobile users can stay productive and connected to customers and colleagues while out of the office. MobiLink is optimally engineered to work with all of Novatel Wireless' Merlin™ Family Wireless Modems for best in class 3G wireless broadband access solutions. The MobiLink Communications Software Suite of applications contains a messaging client that manages 2 way SMS operations, an addressbook client that manages contacts and phone number, connection manager that manages the connectivity, and a customization utility to manage and generate install customization settings. The following section will detail the features of each application.
TITLE: User Interface Document for MobiLink 2.0 3 GENERAL FEATURES 3.1 General User Interface Functions The first design principle for MobiLink applications is that the basic information and controls needed for day-to-day operations are quickly and easily accessible while less frequently used functions are located deeper in the menu system. The user interface is designed to be intuitive to use and will not require a large learning curve for the average user. The second design principle for MobiLink is to be easily customizable in order to be able to meet the various requirements of a global market. 3.1.1 Layout The general layout of the main windows is designed to display important information for connectivity while making it easy to navigate to other functions. The main function such as mobile status and signal strength display is shown in the main window. The connection button is prominently displayed and easily accessible. The main MobiLink display is shown below. The menu button is located on the left upper corner and contains additional functionality such as settings and configurations. The menu system is designed as a button that when clicked, shows a drop down list of other options. Because it’s a drop down list, it allows for expansion of functions as well as reduces the clutter on the main display. The Device Links area is an active navigation bar that shows status for all the three types of connections as well as a clickable area to shift the main display information to the specific type of connection Novatel Wireless Inc.

TITLE: User Interface Document for MobiLink 2.0 Novatel Wireless Inc. DOCUMENT NO: PAGE: 8 of 40 REV: 0 The Dashboard Area in the layout is designed as a launching area for other applications. The default applications in the current design are internet browser, SMS client, Addressbook, and Help file. Other applications can be launched. The Active Profile Selection is a list that allows for easy access to choose the active profile to use for connection. For 3G, this list is a list of connection profiles while for WiFi, this is a list of access points found. For WiFi, this list also shows the signal quality and whether the access point is encrypted. Lastly, there are the standard minimize and close buttons that are the main stay of any application. The minimize button hides the application as a tray icon and the close button gracefully closes the application. 3.1.2 Mouse Over Mouse over is a feature of the application that displays helpful hint about the function of the application as the mouse is moved over an active area of the application such as the menu button. 3.1.3 Snap to Edge Snap to edge is a feature that makes the MobiLink application window snap to the sides of the Windows desktop as the user drags the application close to the edge. 3.1.4 Hot Swapping The design of MobiLink allows for hot swapping of the 3G device. Users can plug and unplug a 3G wireless device and MobiLink will automatically recognize the technology and dynamically change the display to show the relevant information. 3.1.5 Skinning Customization Due to the software design and the underlying graphics engine used, the main “skin” of MobiLink is completely customizable. The skin is contained in separate resource files that can be easily changed for branding or function. Two different designs are shown below and more can be developed.
