With mobile connectivity remaining a substantial challenge and registering hiccups intermittently, Zong and ZTE Corporation have announced a partnership to deploy ZTE's AI Reshaped RAN (AIR RAN) solution to ensure Pakistan's first AI and autonomous network.
With the help of ZTE Corporation, a well-established information and communication technology provider, this initiative will help establish Pakistan's first autonomous network using the industry's first native-AI BBU and the intelligent big data platform VMAX.
This revolution comes on the heels of a persistently growing demand for data-demanding services such as short videos, social media, and immersive applications, exerting immense pressure on existing networks.
Owing to insifnificant data coverage, mobile data users in Pakistan are bound to face performance issues, with long buffering times for videos and high latency in online gaming being the biggest reasons behind this digital deadlock.
To tackle these challenges, telecom operators need to develop intelligent RANs that can adaot various service demands while ensuring optimal user experiences. Thanks to advancements in AI technology, operators can now enhance wireless network operations, improving user experience, energy efficiency, and operational efficiency.
ZTE's AIR RAN solution is capable of optimising operational efficiency and energy consumption by intelligently identifying user scenarios and adjusting network strategies.
This partnership not only drives technological innovation but also paves the way for new business models and market opportunities, solidifying their leadership in intelligent connectivity in Pakistan.
