Bangkok, Thailand, July 10, 2026 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, announced the successful completion of the first service migration and automatic service activation of Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited (AIS)'s next-generation government and enterprise backbone network. This milestone marks a key technological breakthrough in the government and enterprise IP network domain, significantly enhancing AIS's service capabilities and competitiveness, while laying a solid foundation for Thailand's enterprise digital transformation and cloud-network convergence.

Evolving Industry Demands Drive AIS to Launch Systematic Government and Enterprise Network Optimization

With Thailand's digital economy rapidly expanding, enterprises increasingly require cloud adoption, cross-regional networking, and data center interconnection. These scenarios demand higher network capacity, transmission efficiency, stability, and flexible scheduling. To strengthen its government and enterprise service capabilities, AIS partnered with ZTE to upgrade and migrate its backbone network.

Full-Stack Collaboration Builds Intelligent, Efficient Network

To meet the demands of business upgrades, AIS has adopted ZTE's HI‑IPNet solution, driving a comprehensive transformation across hardware platforms, network architecture, and intelligent operations. This enables AIS to build a modern government and enterprise IP network system with ultra‑large capacity, high elasticity, simplified O&M, and long‑term scalability, unlocking business value in all dimensions.

- Ultra-High Capacity with Smooth Expansion Safeguards Long‑Term Investment: AIS deployed ZXR10 M6000-SE series routers across core, edge, and interconnection nodes. Each slot supports forwarding capacities of 3.6 Tbps, 7.2 Tbps, or 14.4 Tbps, meeting current traffic demands while providing scalability for future growth and avoiding redundant infrastructure investment.

- Refined Scheduling and Highly Reliable Transport Forge Strong Customer Loyalty: The network integrates Segment Routing with MPLS Data Plane (SR-MPLS), Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algo), and Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) technologies, enabling precise resource scheduling. AIS can deliver secure, uninterrupted services for high-value customers in finance, cloud, and manufacturing, boosting efficiency and customer loyalty.

- Fully Automated O&M Accelerates Service Launch Cycles: Leveraging the ZENIC ONE R22 management platform, AIS achieves centralized orchestration, one‑click activation, and full lifecycle visualization of government and enterprise services across the entire network. The previously complex manual configuration processes are replaced by automation, significantly shortening the delivery time of enterprise private lines, cloud interconnection, and other services. As a result, O&M complexity and overall costs are greatly reduced, enabling AIS to gain more agile market responsiveness and faster monetization of network capabilities into business revenue.

Seamless Service Migration Elevates Capability to New Heights

During the implementation of this project, AIS and ZTE's technical teams worked in close coordination, strictly controlling operational risks to ensure smooth network operations while efficiently completing the deployment. This fully validated the solution's scenario adaptability and the joint delivery capabilities of both parties. With the newly upgraded network system, AIS's core government and enterprise services, such as enterprise private lines, cloud interconnection, and data center connectivity, are strongly supported, elevating its overall service capabilities to a new level. This further consolidates AIS's leadership in Thailand's government and enterprise telecommunications market and marks a new stage of refined strategic cooperation between the two companies in the IP core network domain.

Looking ahead, AIS and ZTE will continue to deepen cooperation in cloud-network convergence, premium IP networks, and 5G enterprise innovation, driving sustainable digital economic growth in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
