en.Wedoany.com Reported - At the 2026 Mobile World Congress Shanghai (MWC Shanghai), ZTE Chief Development Officer Cui Li delivered a keynote speech, outlining the company's strategic proposition of "fully internalizing AI technology dividends and dancing with uncertainty" in the AI era.
Cui Li noted that the world is undergoing a deep paradigm shift, with AI technology iterating at high speed. Market demand is evolving from "one size fits all" to "one size for one person," making uncertainty the only certainty. Against this backdrop, ZTE has proposed the strategic concept of "All in AI, AI for All." On one hand, the company aims to fully internalize AI technology dividends, deeply embedding intelligent capabilities into products and solutions such as networks, computing power, and terminals to achieve a generational leap in value delivery, while driving the organization toward agile evolution characterized by "data-driven" and "human-machine collaboration." On the other hand, through four dimensions—open decoupling, flexible expansion, extreme collaboration, and scenario adaptation—ZTE is building an AI resilient system that enables "rapid iteration and full-speed evolution."
On the practical implementation front, ZTE has launched products such as AirMAX and Wide-Area Lossless on the network side, leveraging Agentic AI and digital twin technology to accelerate network autonomy toward L4+. For households, the company, in collaboration with operators, has shipped over 3 million units of AI-powered smart home hubs. In the computing power domain, ZTE focuses on optimizing end-to-end Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by developing self-developed high-speed interconnect chips and domain-specific processor chips to build AI system-level full-domain chip capabilities, while offering full-stack intelligent computing solutions covering computing power, high-speed networks, and green energy. To date, digital intelligence solutions such as the ZTE Intelligent Computing All-in-One have deeply empowered over 18 vertical industries, collaborating with more than 1,000 ecosystem partners to implement over 1,000 AI projects across sectors including telecommunications, industry, and electric power.
Cui Li shared several scenario-based cases: At the Nanjing Binjiang Smart Park, after establishing an integrated intelligent operation system, the order scheduling cycle was shortened by 80%, and per capita output increased by 81%. At the Yunnan Shenhuo electrolytic aluminum plant, the deployment of the Co-Claw intelligent hub enabled millisecond-level load regulation, achieving a capacity utilization rate exceeding 99% and improving aluminum distribution efficiency by 30%. At the Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Balasu Coal Mine, the introduction of four AI digital employees accumulated over 60 AI skills, reducing technical report generation to just five minutes and lowering the proportion of repetitive management tasks to below 15%.
Cui Li stated that ZTE remains committed to its ecological positioning as a value contributor, adhering to open cooperation and continuous innovation, while working with global partners to build a stronger and more prosperous virtuous ecosystem.
