Zong and ZTE Handle Innovation in the First AI and Independent Network in Pakistan
Zong Corporation (0763.HK/000063.SZ), a leading global supplier of integrated information and communication technologies, is Pakistan’s No. 1 data provider. It announced a partnership with ZTE to deploy the AIR RAN solution (AI Reshaped RAN). The industry’s first native AI BBU and intelligent big data platform, VMAX. This is a crucial step in the development of the first independent network in the country.
The increase in data-intensive services such as short videos, social media, and immersive services have put unprecedented strain on existing networks. These platforms have users who are very awake to performance issues. Long pause times and high latency in online gaming can cause significant depression and irritation.
Managers must build intelligent RANs that can strongly meet diverse service needs while ensuring optimal user experiences. AI consolidation is a powerful tool in this scenario. Mobile networks have a wide-area distributed architecture. This is a good match for AI services. Operators are using AI to improve wireless network performance. They have seen notable improvements in user experience O&M efficiency and energy efficiency. This transformative approach is perfectly show by Zong’s and ZTE partnership in Pakistan.
ZTE’s AIR RAN Solution, using AI for a better user experience, improves the efficiency of energy and O&M efficiency. Operators can intelligently distinguish scenarios of users and optimize their network strategies dynamically. It ensures smoother and more efficient delivery of premium services such as gaming platforms and video streaming, increasing user satisfaction and loyalty. Smart scheduling also helps reduce RAN energy consumption. It increases the efficiency of field tests in complex O&M scenarios to reduce labor and time costs. AI also improves data processing and response times for reliable, stable networks.
Initial field tests by Zong and ZTE showed the measurable impact this technology has. ZTE’s native AI BBU sites showed significant performance gains, with cell downlink speeds improving up to 8.2% on average and site traffic rising up to 9.1%.
The partnership, by deploying ZTE’s AIR RAN, which includes the industry’s first native AI BBU, and the intelligent Big Data Platform VMAX, not only drives technological innovation but also opens up new business models.
Zong and ZTE have committed to integrating AI and RAN technology in order to provide mobile services that are more eco-friendly, efficient and differentiated. Their ongoing innovation will deliver Pakistan’s very first autonomous network by leveraging the AIR RAN and the intelligent big-data platform VMAX. This will cement their leadership in intelligent connectivity.
