The new routers are perfect for bandwidth-hungry applications such as gaming and online videos, ZTE said. They support 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.
