ZTE launches its 5G innovations to Indian Telecom Partners

ZTE Corporation has unveiled its 5G Innovations to Indian telecom partners. The Indian telecom operators face challenges to enhance the network quality and offer users’ better experience, develop new business to maintain sustained and healthy development.

Focussing on partners’ concern, ZTE has launched its latest technical solutions, including Pre5G FDD / TDD Massive MIMO base station, 5G Flexhaul and other series of innovative products, as well as VR, smart home, smart parking for live demonstrations, which have shined in the 2017MWC in Barcelona, the world’s most influential annual communications exhibition.

Peng Aiguang, CEO, ZTE India, said, “The ICT industry is moving towards an ecosystem that is more open and collaborative. As part of ZTE’s M-ICT strategy, we are investing large resources to ensure we are a leader in innovation on 5G, Big Broadband, Network Virtualization, and IoT. We want to create more value for operators, and be an enabler for Digital Transformation in different sectors of the economy.”

ZTE was the provider to propose Pre5G concept and solutions, which builds the bridge from 4G to 5G. It helps operators to upgrade to 5G networks with the combination of Giga+ MBB, Massive IoT and Cloudization, etc, which will improve the performance of 4G networks, satisfy the explosive requirements of mobile services. Massive MIMO is the core technology and latest technical achievement and breakthrough of Pre5G. It includes the first FDD-LTE-based Massive MIMO solution in the world as well as the TDD Massive MIMO which supports 3 carriers, 2G throughput, and multiple frequency bands. ZTE is strengthening its position as a global leader in 5G researches, as ZTE’s innovative Pre5G products are now deployed in more than 40 networks in 30 countries, and its network virtualization solutions are deployed in more than 180 networks globally.

ZTE proposed the 5G Flexhaul solutions and released a front haul and backhaul integrated pre-commercial equipment. By adopting the IP+Optical architecture, this solution provides unified transport of 5G fronthaul and backhaul services on one device, as well as super-large bandwidth, ultra-low latency and software-defined networking (SDN)-based traffic engineering. It is estimated that ZTE’s 5G Flexhaul solution can reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) by 30 per cent compared to traditional solutions. ZTE has carried out early-stage research and discussions with several operators about cooperation in 5G fronthaul and backhaul technology.

ZTE released its E2E VR live solution, including 4 key components: VR content capture, elastic networks, a premium video platform and VR software development kits(SDK)/set-top box (STB). ZTE's E2E VR live solution is now commercially available. The application scenarios are extensive and include live entertainment, VR education, VR medication and VR shopping, bringing a revolutionary video experience to users.

ZTE is committed to providing integrated end-to-end innovations and building an open business model, to help India Telecom Partners realize digital transformation, enhance network value, and become the most-trusted partners.
