Barcelona, Spain, March 11, 2026 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of information and communication technology solutions, today unveiled its innovative "Telco Service Agent" at MWC Barcelona 2026. This AI Agent-driven 5G personalized experience solution presented a systemic vision for transforming telecom networks from passive connectivity to active service, marking the industry's entry into a new era of intent-driven intelligent networking.

 

The core innovation lay in an intelligent interaction layer capable of comprehending natural language. Moving beyond complex service plans, users can directly express their scenario-based needs, and the system interpreted this intent in real-time to orchestrate 5G/5G-A network resources, delivering dynamic and tailored service assurance.

 

Powering this capability was ZTE's pioneering system architecture. The solution had achieved deep integration with the AI-enhanced 5G core network through the MCP Server, eliminating the configuration delays of traditional OSS systems and realizing end-to-end automation. This enabled the network to proactively sense user context, predicting service demand, and executing fully automated processes to assure optimal experience. This intelligent orchestration had demonstrated significant potential in early deployments, directly translating into measurable user experience gains in MOS for latency-sensitive services like live streaming.

 

The "Experience as a Service" model pioneered by the Telco Service Agent provided a clear pathway for global operators to unlock network value in the AI era. It signaled that future network differentiation will rely not only on speed and coverage but, more critically, on the ability to understand and fulfill personalized, on-demand user needs.

 

ZTE expressed its commitment to collaborating with global operators and industry partners to advance the evolution and ecosystem of network agent technology, enabling intelligent, personalized, and high-quality connectivity experiences for all industries.
