ZTE has announced today it has started selling its HSPA+ 28.8M data card with Cosmote in Greece. The card claims 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 – said to be 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 selected "Cosmote Internet On The Go" plans.
By deploying advanced HSPA+MIMO technology with the MF662, Cosmote's customers can get up to 28.8 Mbps download speed and 5.8 Mbps upload speed for easy access to the Internet, wherever and whenever they want.
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 across the country. 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.
