The severity of COVID-19 has hit an all time high. In addition to the human toll that the virus has accumulated, the significant commercial impact on various global businesses has been unprecedented. As a result of the pandemic and its consequences on industry operations, companies worldwide have been forced to adapt and adopt new ways of handling the crisis in order to maintain business continuity and cater to the changing needs of their customers.
While the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing in Europe, China has already won the staged victory with scientific method to fight against COVID-19. According to the latest official data, the infection situation in China has been initially controlled and only a few or even no new cases have been reported over the past several days. Meanwhile, Chinese researchers have started to share China's experience of "Anti-COVID-19" at multiple countries' request.
The ZTE corporation has long been a global pioneer in the telecommunications and information technology industries, so much so it is without question that it would play a pivotal role in the growth and development of fixed network capabilities and solutions. The success of ZTE’s fixed network and multimedia products, which include CPE, OAN, MSAN, IPTV, OTT and integrated CDN/cache, is wholly attributed to its Vice President and General Manager of Fixed Network and Multimedia Products, Mr Fang Hui.
The telecoms industry is on the fast track towards global digital transformation and, by the looks of it, isn’t planning on slowing down anytime soon. With the arrival of 5G and a list of other emerging technologies into the ecosystem, it is no surprise that data analytics and network security will play a critical role in protecting and optimizing mobile network operations in the future.
As the world continues to grapple with the deadly consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tech and telecoms industries have been dealt a massive blow as telecom operators struggle to seize control over what could only be an inevitable decline in its revenue for 2020.
For over two years now, the American authorities - starting from the FCC to the White House and the whole President Trump administrative team – have been keeping Huawei away from the American telco market for security reasons.
Dear esteemed partners,
In these critical times we’re facing due to the coronavirus pandemic, we must stand together to overcome all the ensuing challenges. As always, we are here to support you now more than ever.
We have recognized the importance of digital transformation long before this health crisis and built a strong digital presence. Our media platforms are covering the latest measures that telcos are taking to serve customers and the impact that COVID-19 is having on the telecoms and ICT industry.
In order to abide by the instructions of the World Health Organization and local governments, we will temporarily stop the publication of special print editions while maintaining our newsletters sent to our large database. Interview opportunities with ICT leaders are still available through email exchanges, phone calls or video calls with our editorial team.
We are confident that these hard times shall pass and we will resume normal business activities with more perseverance and dedication. Until then, we are executing remote working policy and conducting regular meetings via video conferencing calls.
Stay safe and we hope to see you again soon

The age of 5G is upon us, and with it comes a host of complex applications that promises unbridled communication and seamless connectivity across the globe. As such, mobile operators and the telecommunications industry are being faced with the daunting task of readying themselves for the advent of the first 5G commercial networks. Out of all the novelty applications within the 5G architecture, network slicing will undoubtedly form the framework upon which operators will build their specific consumer use cases such as autonomous driving, smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT), just to name a few.
With 5G deployment fast becoming a reality in many parts of the world, mobile operators are scrambling to get their hands on the latest products and solutions that will catapult their businesses to greater heights. Advancing right alongside this 21st century digital phenomenon is ZTE, who is not only leading the way towards a 100% software-based, end to end mobile network infrastructure solutions, but also smashing through traditional telco methods and welcoming a new generation of continued innovation and market proliferation.
5G is unlike previous generations of mobile technology in many ways. It achieves higher speeds and lower latency, it enables a broader range of use cases and expands cellular services to more vertical industries and enterprise customers. It is also more hyped. While there are some unrealistic public expectations around use cases like remote surgery or fully autonomous cars, the performance, flexibility and efficiency of 5G networks create real opportunities for mobile service providers to deliver unique services and attract new customers.
