Summary

At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ZTE was celebrated with two GLOMO Awards for breakthrough 5G solutions, highlighted by deputy general manager Sun J. The accolades recognize an AI‑driven 5G robot platform and a millimeter‑wave broadcasting system that together showcase the company’s push toward intelligent, low‑cost connectivity.

The robot leverages a private 5G network, exploiting high bandwidth, ultra‑low latency, and edge‑AI collaboration to deliver robust performance for industrial use cases. Meanwhile, the 5G mmWave broadcasting solution transforms live sports, concerts and variety shows, delivering higher‑quality streams to audiences while opening fresh revenue streams for mobile operators.

Sun J detailed ZTE’s AirMax rollout, noting a three‑tier upgrade: moving from AI‑enhanced to AI‑native infrastructure, advancing from single‑domain autonomous networks to end‑to‑end level‑four autonomy, and shifting from a “big‑pipe” model to an AI‑ecosystem business. He also thanked partners such as China Telecom, NGBO and Joyup for co‑creating these innovations.

The awards cement ZTE’s position as a 5G pioneer, signaling broader industry momentum toward AI‑native, low‑cost solutions. Operators can now monetize new verticals like robotics and immersive broadcasting, while enterprises gain a pathway to digitize operations with reliable, high‑performance connectivity.
