With shipments of more than 4 million units and partnerships with over 120 5G FWA carriers, covering 80% of the total worldwide, ZTE 5G FWA & MBB have proven to enhance user experience. ZTE has recently launched the ZTE G5 Ultra, which enhances bandwidth utilization by 20% and reduces network congestion by 30%. Equipped with a 13dBi ultra-high gain antenna and ZTE's latest AI antenna algorithms, it improves signal coverage and data rates. Additionally, ZTE introduced the ZTE G5F, a 5G Advanced-ready outdoor FWA, offering peak data rates up to 10Gbps, offering unprecedented ultra-high-speed network experiences.

Best Fiber Access Solution Provider

ZTE has been honored as the "Best Fiber Access Solution Provider" for its role as a leading Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) provider. In 2023, ZTE secured a 34.3% market share in Passive Optical Network (PON) CPE, maintaining its top position for three consecutive years. The company has deployed CPE products in over 100 countries and collaborates with more than 200 operators. In China, ZTE holds a 45% market share in the Fiber To The Room (FTTR) market and has shipped over 10 million units to Spain and more than 15 million devices to Brazil.

Most Innovative in Cloud and Data Center Technology

ZTE's commitment to delivering innovative end-to-end computing infrastructure solutions earned the "Most Innovative in Cloud and Data Center Technology" award at the Selular Award 2024 event. This end-to-end computing infrastructure solution encompasses various aspects of technology and services such as storage, network, and IDC, facilitating the integrated deployment of full-stack software and hardware, and accelerating service deployment to the cloud. One of ZTE's innovations is the IceCube high-density liquid-cooled cabinet, designed to meet the increasing demand for green and efficient data centers. IceCube can accommodate up to 40 1U servers through zero-gap deployment, significantly enhancing computing power per unit space. With cold-plate technology and cabinet doors equipped with liquid-cooling, IceCube can significantly reduce energy consumption and achieve a partial PUE value lower than 1.1.

The three awards from the 21st Annual Selular Award 2024 underscore ZTE's significant contribution to Indonesia's development, particularly in the ICT sector.
