ZTE launches 4G mobile routers in Japan

ZTE has launched its two new 4G mobile routers in Japan with data download speeds of 110 Megabits per second.

ZTE's "Pocket WiFi SoftBank 203Z" and "Pocket WiFi (GL09P)" 4G routers, are made available by major Japanese operators SoftBank and eAccess respectively.

The 4G mobile routers are powered by Qualcomm's new Gobi chipset, supporting LTE Advanced and carrier aggregation technology. The new routers are targeted for bandwidth-hungry applications such as gaming and online videos.

"The new ZTE mobile routers offer multi-network compatibility, supporting three network types - AXGP, FDD-LTE and W-CDMA. Both "Pocket WiFi SoftBank 203Z" and "Pocket WiFi (GL09P)" support simultaneous connections by as many as 14 users, and are equipped with an 5,000 mAh high-capacity battery, allowing 900 hours of standby time and 14 hours of continuous use," the company mentioned in its statement.

As a long-term partner, ZTE has provided SoftBank with five router products, two of which support LTE. The first collaboration between ZTE and eAccess will bring more opportunities for subsequent market expansions.
