ZTE’s new products powered by unprecedented technology fully cover consumer mobile communication scenarios.

ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of information and communication technology solutions, brings abundant new products to Mobile World Congress (MWC)  Shanghai 2023, offering unprecedented technology and user experiences.

For its Terminals business, ZTE provided visitors with the all-round display and experience featuring smartphones, tablets, smart AR glasses, MBB & FWA products and internet products for vehicles and industries. These offerings are integrated with the cutting-edge smart AI applications, leading mobile data terminals and updated smart V2X products.

Meanwhile, ZTE has also demonstrated a new type of intelligent computing infrastructure at the MWC. This infrastructure is designed to address the computing power challenges associated with large-scale model computing.

Fully Cover Consumer Mobile Communication Scenarios

ZTE showcased an extensive array of new products to fully cover consumer mobile communication scenarios at MWC Shanghai 2023. Innovative smart devices, including the latest AI-powered eyewear-free 3D tablet and the GPT wireless AR glasses, have become highlights in the booth.

The nubia Neo Air, the world’s first lightweight refractive AR glasses with GPT and wireless function, draws attention when makes a debut as it enables intelligent interaction such as a real-time interview, the voice assistants chatting and the voice data query through its embedded AI model. Additionally, ZTE exhibits its flagship 5G tablet, ZTE AxonPad, the office computer ZTE AxonBook and two flagship 5G smartphones, ZTE Axon 50 Ultra and nubia Z50 Ultra, demonstrating the achievements and breakthroughs it has made in display innovation, system security, and professional photography.

Prominently featured at the event were the ZTE 5G MBB & FWA products, whose market share ranks first in the world for the leading technology in commercialized field, and GIS (Green, Intelligence & Security) achievements, covering the latest 5th GEN of Wi-Fi 7 5G FWA, 5G indoor and outdoor FWA and 5G portable Wi-Fi. By connecting to the internet through wireless networks, the products support fast and efficient data transfer. During the exhibition, ZTE demonstrates the efficiency and convenience of these technologies, which are built on the product concept of power saving, intelligent scenario control and network security.

New Species of Intelligent Interaction Offers Unprecedented Experiences

As a new and significant addition to ZTE’s smart ecosystem product lineup, nubia Neo Air is not only an wireless AR glasses, but also an intelligent accessory that is equipped with the AIGC algorithm, the same algorithm used in GPT technology. The GPT model used by the glasses combines the capabilities of multiple AI large models to achieve instant question-and-answer, which means users could interact by voice through voice command with the build-in AI assistant.

Eyewear-Free 3D Tablet Brings Mobile Vision to a New Generation

ZTE has also unveiled another blockbuster innovative smart device, nubia Pad 3D, the world’s first AI-powered eyewear-free 3D tablet. Equipped with ZTE’s unique eyewear-free 3D lightfield technology, this product can present high-quality eyewear-free 3D display as well as match up to comfortable viewing angles by AI face-tracking in real time. In addition, it supports real-time content conversion of 2D content to 3D, including images, videos, and streaming media, leveraging a technology based on the AI neural network deep learning algorithm. This technology can overcome the dilemma of limited 3D content sources, providing the more realistic and vivid 3D visual experience to users.

ZTE is actively cooperating with ecosystem partners in the field of industry applications to jointly drive the implementation of subdivided industry solutions and apply them to nubia Pad 3D.

The power of generative AI

The power of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is playing a crucial role in driving digital transformation and intelligent advancements across various industries. As the demand for large-scale and complex deep learning model computing continues to grow, there is an increasing need for a transformation in computing power. The requirements for computing power are becoming more diverse as data volumes explode and data resources become ubiquitous. This surge in demand has provided a strong impetus for the development of the server and storage market. Consequently, there is a greater emphasis on the performance, reliability, and innovation of servers and storage solutions to meet these evolving requirements.

In terms of servers, ZTE offers a full series of server solutions that support GPUs and liquid cooling, enabling the creation of computing resources for large-scale model processing with exceptionally low power consumption. This results in a reduced Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of data centers to less than 1.13. ZTE has introduced the R6500G5 GPU servers, which can accommodate up to twenty GPUs. Additionally, ZTE plans to unveil a higher-performance R6900G5 GPU training server by the end of this year, further expanding their server portfolio. 

In the field of storage, ZTE offers high-bandwidth multi-converged storage solutions to cater to the diverse data storage needs of AI training. Their offerings include a combination of distributed disk arrays and high-end all-flash disk arrays, capable of meeting requirements for large capacity and high performance. ZTE provides various types of storage options, including files, objects, and blocks. Moreover, the ZTE NEO intelligent cloud card facilitates the offloading of the high-performance storage transmission protocol NVMe, enabling storage performance of up to 3 million IOPS.

In the realm of networking, ZTE employs a high-speed “lossless” network architecture to ensure the optimal utilization of AI computing power. By utilizing high-performance RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) networks and lossless switches, ZTE establishes a super-large-scale computing power cluster built around DPUs (Data Processing Units). The introduction of the NEO intelligent cloud card further enhances the server’s capabilities, enabling single-node forwarding performance of up to 800Gbps and achieving microsecond-level latency. This breakthrough in networking eliminates bottlenecks between nodes, maximizing the computing power of GPU clusters.

As an integrated solution provider of intelligent computing infrastructure, ZTE is committed to collaborating closely with operators and industry partners. Together, they will drive continuous upgrades in computing power, foster the development of intelligent infrastructure, and embrace the new era of intelligent computing. By doing so, ZTE aims to inject fresh impetus into the growth of the digital economy.

ZTE expects to foster more communication and discussion opportunities within the industries, facilitate industrial development, and jointly shape a future life characterized by intelligence and convenience.
