ZTE radio composer wins “Best Technology Deployment” Award at Telecom Review Leaders' Summit

9 December 2022, Shenzhen, China - ZTE Corporation (0763. HK / 000063.SZ), a  leading global provider of information and communication technology solutions, has been awarded “Best Technology Deployment” at the 2022 Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit for its radio composer, the industry-first solution powered by native AI at 5G base stations to deliver high-level 5G services.

“Best Technology Deployment” is one of the Telecom Review Excellence Awards that acknowledge the most prestigious achievements in the ICT industry. This award recognizes ZTE’s achievements in deploying radio composer and contributions to the technology on 5G evolution.

As 5G ramps up, operators are facing unprecedented challenges of ensuring personalized user experiences for diversified 5G services. Different from the traditional “one-fits-all” radio resource management strategy, ZTE’s radio composer enhances 5G user experiences through precise mapping between network resources, terminal capabilities and service requirements, significantly improving network efficiency and increasing revenue for operators. It leverages native AI right inside base stations, enabling local data processing and relaxing bandwidth requirements for raw data transmission. That is absolutely more cost-effective compared with alternatives such as rolling out more sites or investing in new spectrums.

ZTE’s radio composer also integrates intent-driven operation and computing power sharing to improve network capability and agility. With intent-driven network delivering real-time service assurance according to prioritized human intentions, it significantly improves network O&M efficiency and accelerates RAN automation. Meanwhile, the computing power sharing enables intelligent utilization of idle computing power between different base stations, thereby offering greater capability with existing resources for AI-based applications.

To date, ZTE’s radio composer has been deployed in more than 10,000 sites, achieving 30% more 5G network capacity and up to 300% faster user speed. Also, its comprehensive commercial trials are also underway in Thailand, Philippines, and other markets.

ZTE has been committed to bringing more benefits to the operators and society by facilitating the evolution of 5G network and digital transformation in various industries.
