• Featuring the world's first "Dual-Brain Dual-Screen · Fully Connected" architecture, ZTE's next-gen smart screen integrates cloud-based models and on-device computing power
• ZTE extends AI capabilities to home connectivity, entertainment, and caregiving 

Paris, France, October 20, 2025 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions,  announced that its next-gen smart screen has been honored with the "Most Innovative Smart Home Experience" award at Network X 2025 held in Paris, France. This prestigious recognition not only affirms ZTE's technological leadership but also highlights its pivotal role in advancing global smart home adoption and digital inclusion.

To address industry challenges such as limited intelligence in traditional home devices, insufficient senior-friendly experiences, and uneven digital development between urban and rural areas, ZTE has unveiled the world's first "Dual-Brain Dual-Screen · Fully Connected" smart screen.

Featuring a dual-brain architecture that integrates cloud-based models with on-device computing power, the product supports mixed dialect and English recognition. As an industry first, it combines the convenience of a mid-sized screen with the immersive experience of a large screen, delivering full-scenario smart home coverage, including communication, entertainment, security, and health and wellness — all from a single, integrated device. Through a "hardware + subscription" service model, users gain easy access to inclusive services like health management and educational companionship. This solution enhances safety monitoring efficiency for senior individuals living alone by 30% and doubles the response speed of community resource coordination.

Now, ZTE extends this AI-powered integration into key home domains. Its AI Wi-Fi 7 solution leverages intelligent antennas and seamless roaming technology to deliver stable and high-quality network connections, helping operators evolve from basic bandwidth offerings to high-value, experience-centric services. The AI set-top box (STB) transforms TVs from passive viewing terminals into participatory hubs for multi-device integration, effectively boosting operators' Average Revenue per User (ARPU). The AI home caregiving solution combines intelligent monitoring with cloud storage to enhance household security. Supported by the Smart Cloud Platform's (SCP) real-time topology visualization and unified device management, ZTE not only enhances user experience but also significantly reduces OPEX.

ZTE firmly believes that AI-driven innovation and scenario-based services are the core drivers of smart home development. By addressing diverse needs in connectivity, entertainment, caregiving, and operations and maintenance (O&M), the company is committed to deepening its product portfolio and building smarter and more inclusive digital home life for users worldwide. With this strategy, ZTE's annual shipments of home terminals have exceeded 100 million units, maintaining the company's position as the global market leader.

The Network X Awards 2025 is held by Informa, a leading international events, digital services and academic knowledge group, to recognize achievement, innovation and excellence across the Telco industry. This year, Network X is combining 5G World, BBWF (Broadband World Forum), and Telco Cloud to unite fixed and mobile markets in a single event.
