High data transfer rates<\/h3>\n

Inside the HTC 5G Hub is a Snapdragon 855 Octa-core chipset, a CPU with Octa-core, which is installed in the latest 5G smartphones<\/a> like the ZTE Axon 10 PRO 5G<\/a> phone. With the Snapdragon X50 5G modem, the HTC 5G router supports maximum data transfer rates of 2.63 Gbps in the download and up to 287 Mbps in the upload.\u00a0If no 5G connection prevails, the device can also switch to and work on\u00a04G network.\u00a0A fallback to older technology such as 3G or 2G can\u2019t be done in the HTC 5G Hub.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, a mobile application is possible.\u00a0In addition to power from a power outlet, the HTC 5G Hub also has a built-in battery.\u00a0The capacity of 7,260 mAh should provide enough energy for a whole day.\u00a0The battery is charged either with the enclosed power supply, via USB Power Delivery on the 9 Volt rail or with Quick Charge 3.0 via USB.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

WLAN for up to 20 devices<\/h3>\n

If the HTC 5G Hub has established a connection to the 5G network, it distributes the signal via WLAN in its environment.\u00a0Not only the usual IEEE 802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac standards are used, but also 802.11ax (WiFi 6<\/a>).\u00a0This means that the HTC 5G Hub can span not only the familiar 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies but also a 60 GHz WLAN.\u00a0However, only a few devices support this new standard so far.\u00a0Wifi at 60 GHz has very high data transfer rates between the 5G WLAN router<\/a> and the terminal, provided that there are no obstacles such as walls in the way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, the number of maximum connector users is limited.\u00a0A maximum of 20 clients can connect to the HTC 5G Hub via Wi-Fi.\u00a0There are four high-speed connections via 802.11ax.\u00a0This limit can be quickly exceeded today in a household with various technical devices.\u00a0Other Wifi access points usually support more connections, ie 32 to 64.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Integrated display and speakers<\/h3>\n

Visually, the HTC 5G Hub is more like a Google smart home hub rather than a traditional router.\u00a0This is mainly due to the integrated touchscreen on the front of the device.\u00a0This measures 5 inches and displays the contents in HD resolution with 720 x 1,280 pixels. In addition, two speakers for stereo sound and a microphone that pays constant attention to voice commands, are integrated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The HTC 5G Hub is in the dimensions of 12.9 x 10 x 4.3 cm and weights 340 g and provides 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of memory.\u00a0If the internal memory space is insufficient, it can be expanded via microSD card. What exciting are the possibilities that the HTC 5G Hub can stream content to other devices such as a TV and the use of Cloud VR is also planned.\u00a0A local player can then be omitted in the presentation of VR content.\u00a0Instead, the data is streamed via cloud computing.\u00a0This is made possible by the potentially low latencies of 5G.\u00a0This requires a compatible 5G network that allows mobile edge computing.<\/p>\n

Price and availability<\/h3>\n

The HTC 5G Hub is available for many network providers over the world. Together with the Tariff, you may get cheaper price. If you only get the single HTC 5G Hub, the price would be much higher.<\/p>\n
