Underpinned by its high speed, low latency, wide coverage and accessibility, this device not only brings the ultimate user experience to the traditional mobile broadband field, but also accelerates the application of 5G technologies in the fields of the Internet of Vehicles, smart grid, intelligent manufacturing, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
