Wind Telecom Dominican Republic and ZTE Join Forces to Accelerate Smart Home Innovation

• ZTE and Wind Telecom have commercially deployed the Smart Cloud Platform, enabling AI-driven optimization, seamless whole-home connectivity, and intelligent scenario automation to deliver a superior smart home experience
• ZTE has tailored a cloud storage feature for Wind Telecom's IP cameras, enhancing reliability, strengthening home security, and creating new recurring revenue streams through flexible retention tiers

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, April 29, 2026 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, today announced the successful commercial deployment of its Smart Cloud Platform (SCP) and intelligent home solutions with Wind Telecom, one of the Dominican Republic's largest fixed-network operators and a pioneer in advanced broadband services. This collaboration marks a major milestone in enhancing home network visibility, operational efficiency, and intelligent management, further strengthening Wind Telecom's leadership in the country's rapidly evolving broadband market. By leveraging ZTE's SCP solution, the partnership delivers a superior, future-ready digital experience for residential users nationwide.

SCP Empowers Smart Homes: End-to-End Intelligent Control Hub, Drives Operator Service Evolution

As the intelligent control center for home networks, the SCP enables unified access, centralized configuration, collaborative management, and intelligent control of devices such as Optical Network Terminals (ONTs), Mesh Access Points (Mesh APs), and Internet Protocol Cameras (IPCs). It fully supports remote operations, scenario automation, and intelligent fault diagnosis, significantly enhancing home network automation and intelligence. With its "One Cloud" architecture, the SCP helps operators evolve from providing single access points to building a comprehensive smart home ecosystem. This includes delivering seamless gigabit coverage through Mesh networking to eliminate signal dead zones and integrating IPCs and OTT STBs to expand high-value services such as home security and high-definition entertainment. In addition, AI algorithms analyze network status in real time to optimize bandwidth and Wi-Fi coverage, proactively prevent congestion, reduce latency, and ensure stable, efficient device operation. The SCP also integrates with OSS/BSS systems, providing network quality reports, user behavior analysis, and precise marketing support. This enables operators to transition from "selling broadband" to "selling experiences and services", while offering users a safer, smoother, and more convenient smart home experience.

Cloud Storage Feature: Multi-Screen Video & AI Security Enhance Smart Homes in Dominican Republic

To address the Dominican Republic's specific operational needs, ZTE has developed a tailored cloud storage feature for Wind Telecom's IPCs. This capability allows end users to play back recorded videos and enables the ZLife application to display multiple video feeds on a single screen for enhanced real-time monitoring. It supports video and audio monitoring with intelligent alerts for abnormal stays, humanoid detection, and critical area intrusion, thereby strengthening property and home security.

The cloud storage feature also creates new recurring revenue streams for Wind Telecom by encouraging subscription upgrades across different retention tiers (e.g., 7/15/30 days). This helps boost ARPU and reduce churn through improved customer loyalty. For end users, the ZLife app provides convenient timeline-based review of past home activity by specific time periods, such as morning, work hours, or nighttime. This allows quick retrieval of clips for sharing or as evidence when needed.

AI-Optimized Connectivity and High-Value Services Boost ARPU in Dominican Republic

Leveraging its "One Cloud" architecture, ZTE empowers Wind Telecom to achieve seamless device collaboration, centralized configuration, and intelligent control, significantly enhancing remote O&M and automation capabilities. This transformation positions Wind Telecom as the Dominican Republic's leading smart home service provider. With AI-driven optimization, the SCP ensures superior service quality, stable connectivity, and an enhanced user experience. As operators expand high-value services such as smart security and whole-home Wi-Fi, the SCP serves as the cornerstone for building differentiated competitiveness – driving the shift from basic connectivity to intelligent service operations, ultimately increasing ARPU while delivering win-win growth in customer satisfaction and business value.
