ZTE and China Mobile Win Prestigious Innovation Award
Shanghai, Friday, 27 June 2025.
ZTE and China Mobile won the Asia Mobile Award 2025 for their AI-driven, energy-saving 5G network, highlighting their role in advancing sustainable telecommunications technology.
Innovative 5G Core Network
At the MWC25 event in Shanghai, ZTE Corporation and China Mobile were honored with the Asia Mobile Award 2025. This accolade was awarded due to their pioneering AI-driven, energy-saving 5G core network project. The system enhances network efficiency while significantly reducing energy consumption, marking a notable achievement in sustainable telecommunications engineering [1][2].
Technical Specifications and Achievements
The award-winning project employs a cloud-native architecture optimized with artificial intelligence to improve network performance metrics. It achieves operational efficacy by implementing intelligent energy-saving technologies, leading to substantial energy reductions across multiple provinces in China [2][3]. This network’s cloudification aligns with efforts to optimize both OPEX and CAPEX, crucial for the economic viability of large-scale 5G deployments [3].
Impact on the Telecommunications Industry
This achievement underscores the strategic importance of integrating AI within network infrastructures. By focusing on eco-friendly solutions, ZTE and China Mobile are driving the sector towards a more sustainable and intelligent future. Their collaborative efforts not only influence local markets but are poised to set standards for global telecommunications practices, particularly in terms of energy conservation and climate action [2][3].
Future Prospects and Strategic Partnerships
Looking ahead, ZTE plans to deepen its collaboration with China Mobile and global partners. The initiative aims to expand the adoption of green technologies across diverse network systems, enhancing the sustainable development trajectory of the communications industry. This commitment was reinforced at the GSMA × GTI New Calling × AI Challenge, where their collaborative projects gained further recognition [1][4].
