SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of

telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile

Internet, today announced at MWC Shanghai, the release of i5GC (industry 5GC)

network solution oriented to private 5G networks for industry.

The solution introduces 5G capabilities such as large bandwidth, low latency,

high reliability and multiple connections into various industries, and

integrates technologies such as AI, IoT, cloud computing, big data and MEC to

enable the digitalisation of whole industries and build fully-connected

intelligent private 5G networks for vertical industries.

At present, public 5GC is oriented to consumer applications, so it cannot meet

industry users' ultra-high requirements for security, latency, reliability,

network control rights, energy consumption and usage environment. ZTE i5GC

addresses this by deeply integrating and optimising 5GC functions. It uses 2U

general servers to achieve the integration of multiple network functions (NF)

and a plug-and-play one-stop deployment mode to achieve minimal space, minimal

energy consumption and minimal operation and maintenance (O&M).

This solution provides non-professional industry users with rapid and accurate

5G network access deployment and excellent service experience. In addition, ZTE

i5GC can be flexibly customised according to a user's diversified requirements

for security, traffic processing and autonomy, and provide different function

combinations and deployment forms for different scenarios. For instance, the

user plane function (UPF) is deployed to the edge, traffic is forwarded nearby,

and user data is locally managed. In addition, ZTE i5GC employs a 3GPP

service-based architecture (SBA) to seamlessly interconnect with a 5G public

network. It can integrate third-party multi-access edge-computing (MEC)

applications through open interfaces to achieve flexible expansion and rapid

iteration of edge applications, so as to explore and breed 5G killer

applications in the vertical field.

Towards the construction of business-grade 5G networks, ZTE has implemented

in-depth 5G applications for use in vertical fields such as mines, medical

treatments and ports. For example, for a 5G smart mine project, ZTE uses i5GC

to deploy a complete set of 5G networks underground, meeting the mine's compact

space and explosion-proofing requirements, and achieving full coverage from key

5G networks. ZTE i5GC will continue to focus on industry projects, promote the

understanding of industry requirements, work with enterprises and operators to

build a 5G application ecosystem, help expand the 'blue ocean market'

opportunity for 5G for business, and drive 5G large-scale commercial use and

value monetisation.
