To address these challenges, ZTE proposes three major principles: openness and decoupling, computing and network evolution, and training and inference enhancement.

Centred on customer value, ZTE provides a full-stack and full-scenario intelligent computing solution encompassing computing power, networks, capabilities, intelligence and applications. This establishes a robust foundation through technical expertise and fosters innovation through collaborative partnerships aimed at empowering various industries in their digital transformation.
