• The "Relieving the Pressure on Physicians" solution has claimed both the GSMA Foundry "Cross-Cutting Excellence" award and the GSMA Foundry Innovation GLOMO award, easing physicians' workload and advancing intelligent transformation of the healthcare industry

Barcelona, Spain, March 4, 2026 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of information and communication technology solutions, has won three prestigious awards at the 2026 GSMA Foundry ceremony held on March 1. Two innovative proposals jointly created with China Telecom stood out, winning top honors across the GSMA Foundry Excellence Awards 2026 and the GSMA Foundry Innovation GLOMO Award.

Among them, the proposal "5G-Advanced Facilitates Multi-Robot Collaboration" earned the "Enterprise Innovation & New Revenue Models" award. The "Relieving the Pressure on Physicians" solution claimed both the Cross-Cutting Excellence award and the GSMA Foundry Innovation GLOMO award. These achievements highlight ZTE's global leadership in 5G-A integrated industry applications, as well as its strengths in technological innovation, commercial feasibility and industrial value.

The two award-winning proposals focus on embodied intelligence and smart healthcare respectively. They are benchmark innovations for 5G-A industry integration developed by ZTE and China Telecom under the "Connectivity + Computing" strategy, and their technological breakthroughs and commercial deployment capabilities have been highly recognized by the global communications industry.

The "5G-Advanced Facilitates Multi-Robot Collaboration" Solution: Breaking Commercialization Barriers for Humanoid Robots

The "5G-Advanced Facilitates Multi-Robot Collaboration" solution, based on the 5G-A EasyOn・Robot minimalist private network, establishes integrated core capabilities of "fundamental connectivity + edge intelligence + ecosystem collaboration", meeting the rigid requirements of commercial deployment of humanoid robots and multi-robot collaborative operations.

The minimalist private network delivers an uplink rate of over 100 Mbps per robot, end-to-end network latency below 10 milliseconds, network reliability up to 99.99%, and a 50% reduction in deployment costs. To date, the solution has been showcased at multiple top-tier industry events, supporting leading robotics manufacturers including AGIBOT and DroidUp to demonstrate application scenarios such as multi-robot collaboration, stage performances, and retail shopping guidance. It drives the in-depth integration of embodied intelligence and the digital economy, and injects new vitality into the intelligent upgrading of industries.
