19 April 2010, Shenzhen, China - ZTE Corporation (“ZTE” or the “Group”) (A share stock code: 000063.SZ /H share stock code: 0763.HK), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, announced today it has started selling world’s fastest HSPA+ 28.8M data card with COSMOTE in Greece, moving the industry forward with record speeds for mobile broadband services by using advanced HSPA+MIMO (High Speed Packet Access, Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology.
COSMOTE became the first company in Greece to offer 28.8Mbps with its “COSMOTE Internet on the Go” data transfer package - the country’s most popular mobile broadband offering. The new speeds are available through the updated ZTE MF662 data card, which is offered for free through select “COSMOTE Internet On The Go” plans.
By deploying advanced HSPA+MIMO technology with the MF662, COSMOTE’s customers can enjoy up to 28.8 Mbps download speed and 5.8 Mbps upload speed for easy access to the Internet, wherever and whenever they want. Users can enjoy rich content and online applications, including video content, and high transmission of large files including photographs, data files, music, and more.
COSMOTE is the first mobile company in Greece, and among the first in Europe, to upgrade its network to HSPA+ technology broadband data speeds. The new broadband speeds are available in selected areas of Athens, and will gradually be expanded in more areas of the country soon. Last year, ZTE and COSMOTE jointly launched a MF662 data card modem supporting download and upload speeds of up to 21.6Mbps and 5.76Mbps respectively.
ZTE is one of the few terminal manufacturers providing a complete data card product portfolio, including three different 3G technologies (WCDMA, EVDO and TD-SCDMA) and WiMax. ZTE is committed to driving groundbreaking innovation in the mobile broadband industry. Last year, largely attributable to product innovation, its data cards experienced a 200 percent year-on-year growth, reaching 20 million units shipped.
