ZTE Canada announced that its Connect-Hub 5G home internet gateway CPE device is now available to customers on the Telus network. The Connect-Hub 5G is offered in two variations – an Indoor Unit and Outdoor Unit – with the latter designed to boost weak signals to improve data throughput to the indoor Wi-Fi router. The Indoor and Outdoor Units support 4G LTE, 5G NSA and 5G SA modes, with automatic selection of the strongest network signal. The Indoor Unit supports up to 30 simultaneous Wi-Fi connections and features an antenna with a 360-degree dual-band Wi-Fi coverage area.

Dwayne Benefield, Telus Senior VP, Connected Home & Entertainment, commented: 'Wireless 5G will provide next level speed and connectivity for our wireless high speed internet customer segments, especially those in rural areas. Telus selected the Connect-Hub 5G for its ability to deliver reliable high speed internet with a simple install for our customers. It supports all our current spectrum bands, in particular our newly acquired 3500MHz, ensuring customers will be able to reliably stream, conference and game at higher speeds than ever before.'
