ZTE Showcases Full-Stack AI Capabilities at MWC Shanghai 2026, Empowering New Era of Token Operations
As AI agents become more widespread, competition in the industry shifts from the scale of computing power to the efficiency of tokens. Leveraging its comprehensive AI capabilities, ZTE is creating a complete value chain spanning token production, services and circulation, to enable operators, enterprises and industry partners to unlock the value of AI at scale.
Building an AI factory with optimal TCO for more efficient and economical token production
Token efficiency is the major competitive advantage in the era of inference. AI factories with optimal TCO are the key to increasing token efficiency and achieving “token freedom”.
At MWC Shanghai2026, ZTE unveiled solutions that improve token efficiency and reduce cost per token through the deep synergy of various elements, including the SuperPod, an extremely cost-effective inference, and an AIDC solution with maximum energy efficiency.
With 41 years of accumulated expertise in R&D and engineering of very large-scale complex systems, ZTE launched its SuperPod solution. Leveraging multi-chip open collaborative design and innovative Orthogonal Electrical eXchange (OEX) architecture, it enables plug-and-play deployment and rapid provisioning. A single rack supports 128GPU, with high scalability of up to 16000GPU, laying the foundation for high-efficiency computing in model training and inference.
Through the synergy between networking, storage and computing, as well as hardware and software, ZTE achieves extremely cost-effective inference. With non-blocking networking and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB), ZTE’s solution enables efficient coordination between computing clusters ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of GPUs, further improving overall inference efficiency.
Additionally, ZTE developed its AIDC solution with ultimate energy efficiency, which integrates 800V HVDC power supply, full-stack liquid cooling and intelligent IT-power synergy, enabling highly efficient and low-carbon operations.
Whether it’s building computing clusters, optimizing inference efficiency, or green mining, ZTE enables AI factories that previously focused on computing to now prioritize efficiency to deliver a more economical and sustainable token production system.
Developing an Innovative AIOS Technology Foundation for Smarter Scheduling of Closed-Loop Tokens and Services
The AI Factory addresses the challenge of low-cost token production, while AIOS plays a critical role in token planning, orchestration, and service-oriented production.
ZTE launched AIOS NewStart, positioning it as the “technology foundation of the AI era”. Built on AIOS, Co-Claw, an enterprise agent platform, is fully integrated with ZTE devices and extends AI services to production and daily life.
Pour businessesthe focus is on improving office and R&D efficiency and enabling intelligent operations, to achieve scalable workflows and closed-loop decision-making.
Pour the homesZTE has launched innovative terminals with screens of different sizes, which serve as access points to a fully connected smart home. It can be an AI home assistant, an AI entertainment companion and an AI security guard – always up and running for a smart lifestyle.
Pour individualsthe company launched a new AI-native paradigm spanning AI Phones, AI Cloud PCs, AI Smart Displays, FreeScreen and more, enabling personalized recommendations, contextual responses and immersive interactions across travel, everyday and work domains. AI has the right answers and delivers delightful intelligent experiences anytime, anywhere.
Leveraging AIOS technology foundation, Co-Claw agent platform and a full range of AI devices, ZTE transforms tokens into scheduled, usable and monetizable assets. This allows operators and businesses to develop a closed-loop model for token-based services.
AI + network, co-construction of a future of intelligent and omnipresent 6G connectivity
6G is more than a generational leap in connectivity. It also serves as essential infrastructure that enables efficient circulation of tokens in the AI era.
As a major player in global research and standardization in the field of 6G, ZTE focuses on “AI+” and “SAGIN” aspects, accelerating the evolution of 6G from research to commercial use.
Regarding SAGIN, ZTE has launched cutting-edge LEO satellite communication payload solutions compatible with various application scenarios of SAGIN for 5G-A and 6G, promoting the essential connectivity foundation for a smooth evolution from 5G-A to 6G.
Regarding AI-native communications, ZTE demonstrated its GigaMIMO solution as well as the first 256 TR U6G prototype in the 6G area at this event. With GigaMIMO, a core technology for 6G, the solution leverages architectural innovation, computing synergy and algorithmic breakthroughs to systematically overcome critical bottlenecks in future network capacity, coverage and spectral efficiency, thereby accelerating 6G deployment and industry evolution.
Leveraging native AI capabilities, ZTE has promoted the deep integration of AI into existing networks—through architecture upgrades and innovations in key scenarios—to build a next-generation communications network.
La solution AIR MAX comprehensively upgrades the network architecture by integrating AI at its core and provides a three-tier capability system including AI native infrastructure, autonomous operations and monetization engine. Together, they enable operators to scale capabilities, transform services, reorient operations and reshape the ecosystem for the AI era.
La solution YOU HAVE HI-NET offers three key capabilities: a solution designed for AI, ultra-high speed and lossless, and inherently secure, establishing a solid network foundation for ubiquitous intelligent computing access, extensive lossless connectivity and the integration of computing, network, security and service.
La solution 10G AI-Optical Network has been deployed at scale in homes, campuses, small businesses and other key scenarios, increasing value for fully fiber cities.
At the same time, ZTE continues to promote applications in key scenarios through innovations such as new AI assistant calling feature, “class one” mobile network services, ISAC for low-altitude economy and highly autonomous networks. These efforts aim to build a more intelligent, efficient and trustworthy connectivity foundation for the AI era.
From AI factory to AIOS, agent platform and future networks, ZTE demonstrated an end-to-end capability system at MWC Shanghai2026. The system covers token production, planning and circulation, integrating computing, networks, terminals and agents to accelerate AI’s journey from technological breakthroughs to large-scale deployment.
The AI industry is rapidly entering the era of inference, where tokens have become a key indicator of AI-driven value creation. Looking ahead, ZTE will collaborate with industry partners to build more efficient, inclusive and sustainable AI infrastructure and ecosystems. Together, we aim to deploy AI across diverse industries, to drive new growth momentum for the AI era.
