ZTE MC801A 5G router - pre-modified for external antenna inputs

The ZTE MC801A is ZTE’s second-generation 5G router, featuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 chipset. It is compatible with global 5G mainstream frequency bands, supporting NSA and SA networks at the same time.

It also supports Wi-Fi 6 technology with a 4X4 MIMO WiFi antenna array, so that ordinary smart 4G terminals and Wi-Fi terminals can enjoy 5G high-speed service. Mesh routers can be flexibly expanded, and indoor Wi-Fi coverage can be enhanced to ensure that there are no dead ends in the room, allowing users to easily enjoy the 5G extremely fast Internet experience.

The MC801A has a superior heat dissipation capacity, which is way better than the previous 5G MC801. The new system comes with a vertical chimney air duct, an aerodynamic self-accelerating heat dissipation, a built-in custom powerful radiator, and a core chip with thermal phase change material. Due to the improved system, as the company claims, the heat dissipation efficiency is increased by 10%.

All internal antenna connections have been re-routed to the outside of the case, and are exposed as four secure SMA-female connections on the side of the router.This allows you to easily connect two Bluespot 4G/5G antennas and achieve blisteringly fast internet, even in remote areas.
