16 December 2020, Shenzhen, China - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, today announced that ZTE and Omdia will hold a webiner “5G Messaging Poised to Deliver Ecosystem Innovation” at 09:00 am(GMT) on December 17,2020. The webinar agenda involves the introduction to 5G messaging, the business case for 5G messaging, the 5G messaging platform and China Mobile’s case study of 5G Messaging.

Featuring massive connections, the 5G messaging service connects various terminals, such as consumers, enterprises/industries and the Internet of Things, to meet the consumer-oriented messaging communication requirements of individual consumers. 

Meanwhile, it provides business-oriented messaging services or applications for enterprises, industries, and governments, and provides the IoT terminals of massive connections with the capabilities of messaging communication, display and control capabilities, thereby creating a new "5G messaging" ecosystem and business model.

"5G has the potential to usher in a new age of telco communications," said Pamela Clark-Dickson, Principal Analyst of Service Provider and Communications at Omdia. "5G Messaging offers telcos the opportunity to update SMS to Rich Communications Services (RCS). RCS is positioned as a more compelling communications channel than SMS for consumers and brands, enabling richer interactions, including chatbots and payments. SMS will continue to play a key role in enabling connectivity between devices. Realizing the full potential of 5G Messaging will require a strong ecosystem with committed partners across the value chain." 

“As a globally leading equipment vendor of the 5G Messaging platform, ZTE has rich technical experience and network construction experience,” said Wang Quan, Vice President of ZTE. “It has the experience of stable commercial operation of the message platform with the largest user scale, the single site exceeding 100 million users, and the massive adapted terminals. The world's first 5G message is sent by ZTE’s 5G Messaging Platform. ZTE will always be committed to promoting the development of the 5G Messaging industry chain together with operators,jointly promoting the prosperity of 5G Messaging.”
