• ZTE showcases its intelligent broadband monetization strategy at AGC2026, empowering Brazilian ISPs and operators to transform into comprehensive digital service providers via FTTx, FTTR-B, Wi-Fi 7, and converged network solutions
• By advancing 10G PON, Light OTN, edge computing and integrated energy offerings, ZTE accelerates Brazil's fixed broadband modernization, helps lower O&M costs and unlocks sustainable revenue growth for local industry players

São Paulo, Brazil, May 8, 2026 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, participated in the ABRINT Global Congress 2026, presenting a comprehensive and forward-looking portfolio of solutions tailored to internet service providers (ISPs), telecom operators, and enterprise customers in Brazil. The event, held from May 6 to 8 in São Paulo, served as a strategic platform for ZTE to demonstrate its vision for intelligent broadband monetization and digital infrastructure evolution.

Aligned with the ongoing digital transformation of Brazil, ZTE is committed to enabling customers to enhance revenue generation capabilities, accelerate network modernization, and strengthen the foundation for sustainable growth.

According to Leo Lu, Vice President of ZTE, President of ZTE Brazil, Brazil continues to represent one of the most dynamic and strategically important fixed broadband markets globally.

"Brazil remains a highly dynamic broadband market with strong growth potential. ZTE has established a solid and long-term presence in the country, working closely with operators and over one thousand ISPs to promote large-scale FTTx deployment and industry advancement," he stated.

A central pillar of ZTE's strategy is to support ISPs in transitioning from traditional connectivity providers to integrated digital service providers. This transformation is driven by expanding FTTx capabilities into service-oriented and experience-centric offerings. In this context, ZTE highlights its FTTR-B (Fiber to the Room for Business) solution, designed to address enterprise scenarios such as SMEs, commercial environments, and industrial parks.

In parallel, ZTE provided intelligent experience management and precision marketing solutions based on user profiling and behavioral analytics, enabling operators to enhance customer engagement, improve retention, and increase ARPU.

ZTE continues to advance core broadband technologies, including 10G PON, FTTH, and fully optical networks, establishing a robust, high-performance, and future-ready network foundation.

"ZTE remains focused on driving the evolution of fixed broadband networks by promoting high-speed, stable, and sustainable infrastructure capabilities," added Leo Lu.

Enhancing Network Efficiency and Infrastructure Modernization

In the transport domain, ZTE introduced its Light OTN solution, designed to address the needs of cost-sensitive operators while maintaining high efficiency and scalability. By integrating optical and service layers into a compact architecture, the solution enables simplified deployment, plug-and-play operation, and flexible capacity expansion aligned with traffic growth.

Within the IP network domain, ZTE presented a converged architecture aimed at streamlining multi-layer network operations, reducing O&M complexity, and accelerating service rollout. The solution supports automated service migration and is designed for long-term evolution, including readiness for 800GE.

Expanding Capabilities: Wi-Fi 7, Computing, and Energy Integration

ZTE also showcased its latest Wi-Fi 7 solutions, addressing both residential and enterprise application scenarios, alongside advanced server infrastructure and edge data center solutions. Leveraging local manufacturing and supply chain capabilities in Brazil, ZTE is able to optimize delivery efficiency, reduce operational costs, and strengthen local ecosystem support.

These capabilities enable ISPs to expand into higher-value services, including cloud computing, localized content delivery, video services, and AI-driven applications.

"ZTE is accelerating its strategic transition from traditional connectivity toward 'connectivity + computing', empowering customers to evolve into comprehensive digital service providers," emphasized Leo Lu.

In addition, ZTE presented integrated energy solutions, including power systems and energy storage for telecom sites, data centers, and edge nodes. These solutions combine photovoltaic generation, energy storage, and intelligent energy management, contributing to improved energy efficiency, cost optimization, and operational resilience.

Strengthening Industry Collaboration and Future Vision

During the event, ZTE hosted an industry engagement session to exchange insights with ecosystem partners, focusing on key themes such as ISP business transformation, revenue growth through FTTR-B, cloud and computing integration, Wi-Fi 7 deployment, and cost optimization through lightweight network architectures and energy-efficient solutions.

Looking ahead, ZTE reaffirmed its long-term commitment to the Brazilian market and its role in supporting the development of next-generation digital infrastructure.

"ZTE will continue to deepen its presence in Brazil, strengthen collaboration with industry partners, and jointly build fully optical, intelligent, and sustainable networks to support the development of the digital economy in the AI era," concluded Leo Lu.
