Tomas Kotis, Business Development Manager at ZyXEL, will be presenting the HomeSpot and wider LTE portfolio, along with ZyXEL’s vision for the LTE space, in more detail at the show:

“With 79 million 4G subscriptions in Europe in 2015 , and 802.11ac booming, demand for 24/7 mobile broadband and multi-device connectivity is growing exponentially,” said Tomas Kotis. “This will explode further as we see the introduction of more smart devices and the Internet of Things becomes a reality in 2016, with Statista estimating 4G subscriptions to reach 267 million by 2020.

“The multi-functional LTE HomeSpot can serve as the main Internet router for the home environment, as well as the ideal companion for any family vacation, providing a Wi-Fi hotspot for the car or holiday home.”
