• ZTE was awarded the "Catalyst Innovator: Voyager" award at TM Forum's Innovate Asia 2025 for its pioneering contributions to autonomous networks and AI-driven digital transformation
• Leveraging Agentic AI as a core technological driver, ZTE has achieved breakthroughs and end-to-end validation in high-value scenarios of AN L4

Bangkok, Thailand, December 3, 2025 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, was honored with the "Catalyst Innovator: Voyager" award for its outstanding contributions to the Catalyst Project at Innovate Asia 2025. Established by the TM Forum, this award celebrates visionary leaders in the global telecommunications industry who drive digital transformation, lead industrial evolution, and create significant impact through technological innovation and collaboration.

The accolade not only highlights ZTE's leadership in cutting-edge domains such as autonomous network architecture, AI-native design, and multi-agent cross-domain collaboration, but also underscores its expanding influence within the global ICT ecosystem.

ZTE adheres to the philosophy of "continuous innovation and open collaboration", accelerating the evolution of highly autonomous networks (AN). As a key enabler of global digital transformation, ZTE has partnered with leading global operators and industry players—including China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Telenor, AIS, MTN, and Omantel— to initiate and lead multiple TM Forum catalyst projects. Leveraging Agentic AI as a core technological driver, ZTE has achieved breakthroughs and end-to-end validation in high-value scenarios of AN L4. 

Project outcomes span critical domains such as agentic AI for customer-centric O&M, multi-level multi-agent system network fault healing, smart 5G with intelligent computing, muti-agent based 5G toB services, establishing a new paradigm of networks with perception, decision-making, execution, and self-evolution. These practices not only enhance operational efficiency and user experience but also mark a pivotal shift in communication networks transitioning from process automation to decision autonomy.

Building on this foundation, ZTE continues to lead industrial standardization efforts, actively advancing the multi-agent collaboration standard A2A-T and collaborating with industry partners to establish the AI for Vehicle (AI4V) standards framework. Looking ahead, ZTE will further integrate AI with communication networks, drive technological inclusivity and industrial synergy, and contribute core capabilities to building a smarter, more efficient, and greener digital world.
