ZTE is to launch the new generation MF 190 data card (dongle) by end of this August which card can establish an internet connection within 15 seconds without the need to install software or manage the connection.
The MF 190 is simply inserted into a USB port and, using ZTE’s innovative CWID technology, quickly establishes an internet connection without using any of the mobile device’s hardware or software resources, providing users with fast and simple mobile broadband access.
CWID stands for CPC (continuous packet connectivity), Web UI (user interface) and driver-free technology, and has been developed by ZTE for data cards accessing high speed HSPA+ mobile networks.
CPC is a capability of HSPA+ networks which reduce uplink and downlink channel overheads, enhancing network efficiency and avoiding network congestion. The network capacity increases made possible by CPC can double both the number of online users and the network’s VOIP user capacity.
In addition, with the MF 190’s Web UI, users can manage the device as well as online services such as messaging and contact lists. Operators can customize the UI to enable online upgrading and promotions.
Another highlight of the data card is the driver-free technology developed by ZTE. It automatically works with all major operating systems, avoiding the operating system compatibility problems of typical data card connection management software programs.
