ZTE Launches Linkpro® plus Wi-Fi 8 Solution

• ZTE debuts Linkpro® plus Wi‑Fi 8 home solution at MWC Barcelona 2026, F8849Q integrates XGS‑PON and Wi‑Fi 8, marking a pivotal step in ZTE's "optical access + wireless intelligence" innovation
• ZTE Linkpro® plus solution leaps in four dimensions, upgrading home networking from "best effort" to deterministic intelligent connectivity

Barcelona, Spain, March 4, 2026 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, announced the debut of its groundbreaking Linkpro^® plus Wi-Fi 8 home networking solution at MWC Barcelona 2026. Centered on the industry's first CPE product, F8849Q, which integrates XGS-PON 10G optical access with Wi-Fi 8 technology, this launch marks a pivotal step in ZTE's innovation across "optical access + wireless intelligence". By fusing proprietary AI capabilities with next-generation Wi-Fi standards, ZTE aims to redefine a "perceptible certainty" in smart home connectivity worldwide.

Facing the four extreme challenges of coverage, latency, interference, and security posed by ultra-HD video, VR/AR, and whole-home intelligence, the ZTE Linkpro^® plus solution is not a simple iteration. Instead, it achieves a leap across four dimensions from the underlying logic, elevating home networking from "best effort" to a new stage of "deterministic intelligent connectivity at will".

AI Perception: Signal Follows the User, Seamless Roaming Without Awareness

Traditional Wi-Fi struggles with disconnection during mobility. ZTE's solution leverages Wi-Fi 8's native Single Mobility Domain (SMD) technology to build a seamless roaming foundation equivalent to a unified virtual base station. On top of this, ZTE's proprietary AI terminal positioning engine and beamforming technology deliver "dual intelligent gains", dynamically sensing terminal location and adjusting antenna arrays in real time. This enables precise signal tracking, achieving roaming latency of less than 10ms and extending coverage distance by 50%, ensuring smooth 8K video conferencing and immersive viewing from anywhere in the home.

AI Scheduling: Dedicated Service Channels, 10G Concurrent Without Congestion

To address congestion caused by multiple concurrent devices, the solution leverages Wi-Fi 8's native Dynamic Sub-band Operation (DSO) technology, finely partitioning channel resources to create independent "data highways" for each device. ZTE's innovative AI smart antenna technology further enhances performance, dynamically matching optimal antenna units and transmission paths for each data stream. This hardware-software synergy greatly expands concurrent access capacity while ensuring high-quality transmission, enabling bandwidth-intensive scenarios such as gaming, online classes, and remote work to coexist seamlessly—delivering "HD movies in seconds, zero lag for critical tasks".

AI Anti-Interference: Rock-Solid Stability in Complex Environments

In interference-heavy residential settings, the ZTE Linkpro^® plus solution demonstrates strong adaptability. By integrating ultra-reliability features of Wi-Fi 8, P-EDCA (priority deterministic slot allocation) ensures low-latency transmission, while enhanced LDPC coding strengthens data immunity against interference. More importantly, ZTE's proprietary AI "spectrum brain" senses interference sources (neighboring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices) in real time and dynamically optimizes channels and air-interface parameters. This combination of native technology and intelligent tuning improves signal stability by 60% and reduces critical packet transmission delay by 25%, effectively eliminating service lag during peak hours.

AI Safeguard: Quantum-Level Full-Link Encryption, Cloud-Edge Security Immunity

With the surge of smart home devices, privacy and security have become core concerns. The solution introduces Wi-Fi 8's quantum-level full-link encryption and privacy-enhanced transmission protocols, providing hard protection from device access to data transmission. Additionally, ZTE's proprietary cloud-edge collaborative AI security engine identifies and blocks potential threats within milliseconds, creating exclusive "security immunity" channels for privacy- and security-sensitive devices such as cameras and smart locks. This proactive firewall eliminates privacy risks at the source, safeguarding digital households.

As a standard setter and core patent holder of Wi-Fi 8 technology, ZTE is leveraging its "standards, patents, and technology" advantages to elevate home networking from "consumer-grade" to "industrial-grade" reliability, meeting the needs of large apartments, duplexes, and future smart homes.

Looking ahead, ZTE will continue to deepen the integration of AI and communication technologies, while proactively deploying next-generation integrated sensing and connectivity. Together with global industry partners, ZTE will build an open and win-win smart home ecosystem, injecting strong momentum into the development of the digital economy and jointly shaping the future of the intelligent world.
