China Unicom and ZTE conduct industry's first commercial trial of Intelligent Radio Network Orchestration Solution

SHENZHEN,China,June 11,2021 --ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ),a major international provider of telecommunications,enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile internet,and China Unicom have done a commercial trial of the industry's first Intelligent Radio NetworkOrchestration Solution,with bothuser orchestration and network orchestration,in Dalian,China.

At the beginning of 2021,ZTEreleased the industry's first Intelligent Orchestration Radio Network Solution,based on the ZTE's vision and the work for 5G network development. Powered by base station native intelligence,this solution improves user experiencesby virtue ofuser orchestration and network orchestration,meetingmore diverse requirements of both B2Band B2Cservices.

The results show that user orchestration can achieve improvement in both 5G user experiencesand 5G camping ratio. The uplink NR low-throughput user ratio is reduced by 50%whilethe handover delay is reduced by 50% and the 5G camping ratio is increased significantly.

Furthermore,when4G/5G dynamic spectrum sharingis on,the network orchestration canautomatically adjust the spectrum configurationsaccording to the traffic requirements. Theaverage 5G user throughput is increasedby 20%-130% adapting to spectrum configuration,while the 4G user number and traffic remain unaffected. This brings new possibilities to NR user experience improvement and O&Msimplification in the 4G/5G dynamic spectrum sharing scenario.

To date,ZTEand China Unicom have made great progressin various innovation pilot fields. For instance,ZTE won the ICTChina 2020AnnualExcellent Solution Awardfor its trusted sharing solution based on the blockchain technologyin the 5G RAN sharing scenario,and was rewardedthe Best Practice Award for 5G Network and Terminal Coordinationfor its 5G low-altitude private network.

Moving forward,ZTEand China Unicom will collaborate further with each other in intelligent radio network orchestration from standards,productsand services to facilitate research,development and commercial applications,aiming at building 5G networkswithenhanced user experiencesand network efficiency.
