July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leader in integrated information and communications technology solutions, unveiled the TCO-Optimal AI Factory, an AIOS-powered ecosystem that includes scenario-based applications and innovative end devices, as well as cutting-edge breakthroughs in AI-powered networks, at MWC Shanghai 2026. Through the extreme synergy between computing, network, storage, energy and software as well as system architecture innovations, ZTE has fully unlocked new impetus for token operations.
ZTE Showcases Full-Stack AI Capabilities at MWC Shanghai 2026, Empowering New Era of Token Operations
As AI agents become widespread, the industry’s competitive focus is shifting from computing power scale to token efficiency. Leveraging its end-to-end, full-stack AI capabilities, ZTE is building a seamless value chain spanning token creation, services and circulation – enabling operators, enterprises and industry partners to realize the value of AI at scale.
Building a TCO-optimal AI factory for more efficient and cost-effective token production
Token efficiency is the core competitiveness in this era of inference. TCO-optimal AI factories are the key to increasing token efficiency and achieving “token freedom”.
At MWC 2026 in Shanghai, ZTE presented solutions that increased token efficiency and minimized cost per token through the comprehensive synergy of various elements – including SuperPod, highly cost-effective inference and AIDC with the highest energy efficiency.
Building on 41 years of accumulated expertise in research and development and the development of ultra-large, complex systems, ZTE has brought its SuperPod solution to market. Leveraging an open multi-chip collaboration design and innovative Orthogonal Electrical eXchange (OEX) architecture, the system enables plug-and-play deployment and rapid provisioning. A single rack supports 128 GPUs with high scalability of up to 16,000 GPUs, laying the foundation for highly efficient computing in model training and inference.
Through the synergy of network, storage and computing, as well as hardware and software, ZTE achieves extremely cost-effective inference. With a non-blocking network and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB), ZTE’s solution enables efficient coordination between computing clusters of thousands to tens of thousands of GPUs, further increasing overall inference efficiency.
In addition, ZTE has developed its AIDC solution with the highest energy efficiency, integrating 800V HVDC power supply, full-stack liquid cooling and intelligent synergy between computing power and power, enabling high-efficiency and low-carbon operations.
From building compute clusters to optimizing inference efficiency to green operations, ZTE is moving AI factories away from a compute-centric approach to an efficiency-focused model, creating a more cost-efficient and sustainable token production system.
Developing an innovative AIOS technological foundation for smarter token scheduling and closed-loop services
The AI factory addresses the challenge of low-cost token production, while AIOS plays a critical role in token scheduling, orchestration, and service-oriented issuance.
ZTE has launched NewStart AIOS, positioning it as the “technological foundation in the AI era.” Co-Claw – an enterprise agent platform based on AIOS – is fully integrated into ZTE’s endpoints, extending AI services to the production floor and everyday life.
For Pursue The focus is on increasing office and R&D efficiency and enabling intelligent operations to achieve self-evolving workflows and a closed-loop decision-making process.
For households ZTE has launched innovative devices with different screen sizes that serve as entry points into a fully connected smart home. They can be AI household assistants, AI entertainment companions and AI security guards that are always on and constantly active for a smart lifestyle.
For Individuals The company introduced a new AI-native paradigm that spans AI Phones, AI Cloud PCs, AI Smart Displays, FreeScreen and more, enabling personalized recommendations, contextual responses and immersive interactions across travel, life and work. AI knows better and delivers entertaining, intelligent experiences anytime, anywhere.
Using AIOS technology, the Co-Claw Agent platform, and a full range of AI devices, ZTE transforms tokens into predictable, operable, and monetizable assets. This allows operators and companies to develop a closed model for token-based services.
AI + Network, co-building a future of intelligent, ubiquitous 6G connectivity
6G is more than a generational leap in connectivity. It also serves as critical infrastructure that enables efficient token circulation in the AI era.
As a key participant in global 6G research and standardization, ZTE focuses on “AI+” and “SAGIN” and accelerates the development of 6G from research to commercial use.
Regarding SAGIN, ZTE has introduced industry-leading LEO satellite communication payload solutions that are compatible with various application scenarios of SAGIN for 5G-A and 6G, promoting the critical connectivity foundation for smooth evolution from 5G-A to 6G.
ZTE introduced its GigaMIMO solution and the world’s first 256 TR U6G prototype in the 6G zone at this event. With GigaMIMO, a cornerstone technology for 6G, the solution leverages architectural innovations, computational synergies and algorithmic breakthroughs to systematically overcome critical bottlenecks in future network capacity, coverage and spectral power, accelerating 6G deployment and industry development.
Focusing on AI-native capabilities, ZTE has advanced the deep integration of AI with existing networks through architecture upgrades and key scenario innovations to build a next-generation communications network.
Die AIR MAXSolution comprehensively updates the network architecture with AI at the core, providing a three-tier capacity system with AI-native infrastructure, autonomous operations and monetization engine. Together, they empower operators to develop capabilities, transform services, shift operations, and transform the ecosystem for the AI era.
Die KI-HI-NETsolution offers three key capabilities: AI-native, ultra-fast and lossless and intrinsically secure capabilities, forming a solid network foundation for ubiquitous intelligent computing access, lossless wide-area connectivity and the integration of computing, network, security and service.
The solution 10G AI-Optical Network has been widely used in homes, college campuses, small businesses and other key scenarios, providing greater value for all-optical cities.
Meanwhile, ZTE continues to advance applications in key scenarios through innovation, including New Calling with AI assistants, world-class mobile network services, integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) for the low-altitude economy, and highly autonomous networks. These efforts are being undertaken to build a smarter, more efficient and more 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 Shanghai 2026. The system spans token production, scheduling, and circulation, integrating computing, networks, endpoints, and agents to accelerate AI from technological breakthroughs to large-scale deployment.
The AI industry is accelerating into the inference era, where tokens have become an important measure of AI-powered value creation. Looking forward, ZTE will work with industry partners to build AI infrastructure and ecosystems that are more efficient, inclusive and sustainable. Together we want to bring AI to various industries and unleash new growth impulses for the AI era.
