ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, along with COSMOTE, the leading mobile operator in Greece, today has launched the world's fastest 3G dual carrier HSPA+ USB modem in Greece.  

The MF680 is a super high-performance modem that brings the speed of third generation (3G) data communications closer to the requirements of 4G networks (known as LTE), with download and upload speeds of up to 42 Mbps and 5.76 Mbps respectively. 
The MF680 has been especially designed for HSPA+ networks, providing users with an extremely powerful mobile broadband experience. This stylish device allows COSMOTE customers to enjoy high-speed mobile broadband wherever the network is ready.  
The modem is equipped with a USB slider connector that can be easily adjusted and plugged into any USB interface and also supports a MicroSD card with data storage of up to 32 GB.

"Since we launched our first 21.6 Mbps HSPA+ USB modem in Greece in 2009, there has been growing demand for higher bandwidth and more reliable data services. ZTE's MF680 offers consumers a much better experience by accessing COSMOTE's high-speed mobile broadband network, combined with a stylish form factor and higher technology," said Mr. Zhang Yadong, General Manager of ZTE's mobile broadband division.
