This 5G indoor router will allow customers to access 5G in all 5G coverage areas of South Africa. The Smart ANT smart antenna algorithm allows the ZTE MC801A to select better signals independently.

    The ZTE 5G Indoor Router MC801A supports both NSA & SA 5G networks and the router is compatible with 4G and 5G mainstream standards.The device allows consumers to enjoy ultra-fast 5G networks and rich 5G services and advantages, such as less congestion, reduced video buffering, continuous HD video streaming and more consistent connectivity.

    ZTE is actively engaged in, and at the forefront of, 5G commercialisation and we are market-ready with our end-to-end solutions

    By virtue of its stunning design, the ZTE 5G Indoor Router MC801A obtained the iF Design Award in 2019.

    “ZTE is actively engaged in, and at the forefront of, 5G commercialisation and we are market-ready with our end-to-end solutions,” said Bob Zhou, MD of ZTE South Africa. “ZTE will provide consumers with a series of diversified 5G terminal devices, including the 5G smartphone, 5G indoor router, 5G outdoor router, 5G mobile Wi-Fi router, 5G Ethernet box and 5G module. Our key objective is to empower the near-future connected life and accelerate digital transformation.”

    Pioneer in 5G

    As a pioneer in the 5G ecosystem, ZTE has been collaborating with leading partners to accelerate the commercialisation of 5G terminals. To date, ZTE worked in the 5G terminal arena with more than 20 carriers worldwide.

    “We are confident that we have built a strong foundation to grow and support our 5G ecosystem. Partnering with ZTE on 5G devices is an integral part in delivering an exceptional experience for our customers,” said MTN South Africa chief consumer officer Mapula Bodibe.
