ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of 
telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile 
internet, today announced that its 5G FWA & MBB series has reached the 
million-shipment milestone globally and officially unveiled the 4th Gen of ZTE 
5G FWA & MBB family at the Mobile World Congress 2022 (MWC 2022). The series 
that includes the indoor 5G CPE MC888 series, outdoor 5G CPE MC889 series, and 
the new-gen portable 5G MiFi MU5120, are generally developed for indoor, 
outdoor, and travel scenarios, and have adopted the world-leading Snapdragon® 
X65 and X62 5G Modem-RF Platforms .

In the 5G era, ZTE has always been committed to catering to diversified 5G data 
terminal scenarios for users worldwide. In 2019, ZTE released the MC801, its 
first 5G CPE product, and successively launched Gen 2 and Gen 3 indoor 5G CPE 
products in 2020 and 2021. The new series of the FWA &  MBB family is further 
improved and upgraded based on previous generations, forming diversified 5G 
data terminal scenarios, suitable for personal, home, travel, and office use, 
among others. 

The MC888 series for indoor scenarios includes two models, MC888 and MC888 
Ultra. The latter, equipped with the Qualcomm® Fixed Wireless Access Platform 
Gen 2 featuring Snapdragon® X65 5G Modem-RF Platform and the latest Wi-Fi 6E 
technical standards with a peak rate of 6000Mbps, fully supports mmWave-Sub6 NR 
CA and 3GPP R16 technical standards. It adopts the smart antenna array 3.0 with 
antenna gain reaching 10dBi, enabling stable and comprehensive 5G signal 
reception even with weak signals. Nevertheless, MC888 Ultra continuously 
dissipates heat by adopting penetrating self-ventilation technology and a 
top-down permeable air duct design. As a result, ultra-long and stable 
high-speed operation is ensured even under high-power conditions. Remarkably, 
MC888 Ultra also supports one-touch NFC connection, enabling NFC-enabled 
Android smartphones to connect to these routers by a single touch, without the 
tedious process of entering passwords. 

Meanwhile, the standard MC888 model with the Qualcomm X62 platform, which 
supports Wi-Fi 6 with a peak rate of 3600Mbps, can be connected by up to 32 
users simultaneously. Notably, this model uses the same antenna technology as 
the MC888 Ultra, and the built-in high-gain antenna ensures powerful signal 
reception for users.

For outdoor scenarios, as a world-leading communication company, ZTE launched 
MC889 and MC889 Pro, compatible with mmWave, Sub-6 5G and 4G LTE networks, 
designed to address the low penetrating performance pain point of mmWave and 
Sub-6 network signals and impose higher requirements on temperature, 
environment, and signal reception capacity. IP67 and IP65 dustproof and 
waterproof to industrial grade, the series can work normally at temperatures 
between minus 40 and 60 degrees--which makes the series a truly all-weather 
outdoor CPE product. MC889 Pro adopts the super gain antenna technology capable 
of 11dBi, which greatly improves signal reception for terminal users. 

Based on indoor and outdoor 5G CPE, ZTE had also developed a new-gen portable 
5G MiFi product MU5120, which can be stably accessed by 32 devices 
simultaneously. The device adopts the Qualcomm Fixed Wireless Access Platform 
Gen 2 featuring Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF Platform and the Wi-Fi 6 scheme with 
low power consumption and includes a 10000mAh battery with a battery life of 
over 16 hours. Meanwhile, MU5120 also supports 18W reverse fast charging and 
one-touch NFC function, providing a more functional practical experience for 
users. 

Apart from the five aforementioned new products, ZTE also announced the MC888 
Flagship at MWC 2022, the first Wi-Fi7 5G CPE with the strongest configurations 
across the globe, which will deliver the best experience in the industry and 
will be available on the market in Q4 of this year. 

In addition, ZTE also showcased their excellent communication performance. With 
the new Qualcomm SD X65 chip, the new-gen 5G mmWave CPE has improved the 
transmission rate of high-power 5G mmWave CPE to more than 10Gbps, enabling the 
wireless transmission rate of terminal devices to surpass computer hardware. 
The new CPE will support dual link between Sub-6G and mmWave. Through new heat 
conduction and heat dissipation materials, time-sharing CA technology and a new 
generation micro controlled power algorithm, stronger heat dissipation and 
signal coverage are realized. It can be widely used in fields such as Big Data, 
IoT, and the IoV. 

"For many years, Qualcomm Technologies and ZTE have collaborated in the 
development of mobile broadband products, with some of ZTE's most powerful 5G 
solutions being Fixed Wireless Access CPEs for homes and offices based on the 
Qualcomm Fixed Wireless Access Platform Gen 1," said Gautam Sheoran, vice 
president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Congratulations to 
ZTE on its unveiling of next-generation indoor and outdoor 5G CPE products, as 
well as mobile routers powered by Qualcomm Fixed Wireless Access Platform Gen 2 
featuring Snapdragon X65 and X62 5G Modem-RF Platforms. We look forward to 
helping ZTE deliver optimized performance, coverage, and user experiences to 
more homes and offices with its new generation of products."

"Based on the "1+2+N" full-scenario smart ecological system, ZTE Mobile Devices 
are gradually creating a full-scenario smart lifestyle and have now occupied 
the biggest 5G CPE global market share. For the Internet of Everything (IOE), 
the all-scenario integration of "1+2+N" cannot be achieved without the 
assistance of "5G +" formed by 5G MBB devices," said Luo Wei, vice president of 
ZTE Corporation, GM of Product Center, ZTE Devices. "The 4th Gen of the ZTE 5G 
FWA & MBB family will bring a more cutting-edge 5G experience to corporations 
and consumers worldwide via remarkable technological innovation, which will 
make technological life more accessible in future. "
