The Goodspeed MF900 supports all mainstream global 4G frequencies (LTE FDD and LTE TDD), allowing end-users to connect to 4G networks whenever, wherever. Powering the device is a Qualcomm Gobi MDM9225 modem chipset, which offers downlink data rates of up to 150Mbps and uplink rates of up to 50Mbps.
The Goodspeed MF900's powerful 3200mAh battery lasts up to 12 hours on one charge, or seven days on standby mode, and can be fully charged in three hours.

The ZTE Goodspeed 4G mobile hotspot MF900 will be available for purchase in July from Goodspeed direct sales channels, including Business Sales and official Goodspeed distributors, before general availability from goodspeed.io.
ZTE has been partnering with carriers across the globe since 2013 to deliver mobile devices for international roaming. Currently, ZTE offers two mobile hotspot products that support 3G and 4G roaming respectively. These products are used widely by business users worldwide and have been made available through partnerships with carriers such as Verizon, DoCoMo and Vodafone.
By year end 2014, ZTE had sold approximately 200 million mobile broadband products globally.
