Wow!
"With the LED screen on the router, you can also monitor network signal changes in real-time, as the device automatically rotates and tracks and locks the mmWave signals, to achieve peak Internet speeds of up to 10Gbps."

We'll maybe get it here in a year's time then!

Back in 2020 the government announced that it would ban “high risk vendors” from future 5G rollouts (here and here), which followed various US sanctions and security concerns around the role of Chinese firm Huawei in UK networks (ZTE is also banned)
Due to the above, we are unlikely to see any more kit from ZTE.

For my curiosity, is this MC888 or any others support 5G Carrier Aggregation / Massive MIMO just yet?
The modem inside the mc801a is capable of NR-CA.
Whether ZTE update it is another matter.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 has had a new baseline firmware released R13A for the Quectel RM502Q inside ZYXEL NR7010 and the MikroTik Chateau 5G, this supports NR-CA.

ZTE do not seem to be using Quectel, so they would need to approach Qualcomm directly for the modem update.
