ZTE Unveils Plans for Intelligent Innovation at MWC Barcelona 2025

ZTE Corporation, a global leader in integrated information and communication technology solutions, is set to make a significant impact at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona from March 3rd to 6th. The company will launch its campaign under the theme "Catalyzing Intelligent Innovation", with a keen focus on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and connectivity.

At its exhibition booth 3F30 in Hall 3 of the Fira Gran Via, ZTE plans to showcase groundbreaking solutions categorized into six main themes: Ultra-efficient Mobile Networks, Fully Optical World, AI-driven Value, Engines of Intelligence, Infinite Future, and Smart Life. This initiative aims to accelerate intelligent innovation and forge a path toward a future characterized by efficiency, intelligence, and sustainability.

Ultra-efficient Mobile Networks and Fully Optical Networks

As a response to the fundamental network requirements of operators, ZTE is committed to demonstrating how cutting-edge ultra-efficient mobile networks and fully optical networks can establish a modern, future-proof, efficient, and low-carbon base network. In mobile networking, ZTE continues to lead innovation with its Ultra-Broadband Radio (UBR) technology, introducing the first dual-mode AAU Massive MIMO TDD+FDD and the first 400M ultra-wideband AAU OBW, creating ultra-simplified, highly efficient, and eco-friendly sites. The company has also rolled out new solutions targeting indoor and agricultural network scenarios to ensure comprehensive traffic coverage.

With an eye on the new momentum for the development of 5G-A, ZTE is promoting innovation in air-to-ground satellite communications (ATG) and non-terrestrial networks (NTN), ultimately aspiring to achieve integrated space-air-ground networks (SAGIN) for pervasive connectivity. By fusing monitoring and communication functionalities, ZTE is enhancing low-altitude economic activities and water management. Furthermore, the introduction of new multimedia solutions in the 5G-A sphere promises a revolutionized experience in augmented reality live broadcasting.

Advancements in Optical Networks and Future Commitments

ZTE is also deeply invested in advancing high-quality optical networks. For homes equipped with fully optical technology, ZTE is stimulating revenue growth through solutions like Wi-Fi 7 and FTTR while cutting operational costs via digital tools and enhancing scenario development with AI-based smart terminals. In the fully optical city domain, ZTE is expanding into environments like offices, hotels, and campuses, significantly increasing Average Revenue Per User (ARPU).

The company has unveiled smart ODN solutions, Full-Band OTN, and AI-empowered IP technologies to create ultra-simplified, ultra-fast, and ultra-efficient core networks. Looking ahead, ZTE is committed to the integrated development of 5G-A and 6G, aspiring to create a smart distributed network that merges connectivity, sensing, and intelligence to support an AI-driven Internet of Everything (IoE). Through pivotal technological innovations and the cultivation of business ecosystems, ZTE aims to collaboratively construct a new level of value-driven services.

Full-stack Intelligent Processing and Industry Collaboration

ZTE considers full-stack intelligent computing as a long-term goal, actively promoting the integration between connectivity and AI innovation. The company is set to showcase its comprehensive AI-integrated solution aimed at assisting clients with digital transformation and capitalizing on future market opportunities during MWC Barcelona 2025.

The exhibition will feature ZTE's full-stack smart processing infrastructure, including liquid-cooled data centers, intelligent processing servers, general-purpose processing servers, high-speed switches, and the integrated training and inference unit AiCube. This suite supports the full implementation of DeepSeek, a solution designed flexibly to meet the computing network requirements of large data centers, edge data centers, and integrated enterprise deployments across various scenarios.

Moreover, ZTE will unveil the first integrated industry energy storage solution that combines multi-scenario new energy solutions with smart energy programming to enhance energy efficiency. By harnessing technologies such as heterogeneous convergence and ICT integration, ZTE will introduce a series of solutions like AIR RAN and AIR Core to create end-to-end, AI-native networks to help operators reshape their business models.
