Thailand has become a frontier for innovation, thanks in large part to the contributions of Chinese tech firm ZTE. With their widespread use of 5G networks in the Southeast Asian country, ZTE has revolutionized network coverage, improved bandwidth efficiency, and even created personalized networks tailored for specific industries. Chen Zhiping, vice president of ZTE, recently spoke about the company’s efforts in an interview with Xinhua.
“Our focus is practical applications, contributing to the technological progress of Thailand,” Chen said. These practical applications have been showcased at the ZTE 5G Summit and User Congress 2023, held in Bangkok. The two-day event brought together telecom regulators, industry organizations, carriers, think tanks, partners, and analysts to exchange ideas and insights on 5G, future networks, and digital innovations, all under the theme “Embrace the Digital Nexus.”
ZTE’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region has been significant, as the company has evolved into a global player in the tech industry. Chen emphasized the importance of collaboration with local internet providers and telecommunication agencies in achieving this global success. “This is essential for our global operations, addressing challenges in self-development amid uncertainties,” she explained.
One area in which ZTE has excelled is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in their 5G networks. Chen highlighted the company’s commitment to exploring large-scale AI models in practical applications, such as countering phone scams. “AI models contribute significantly to societal wellbeing,” she said, emphasizing ZTE’s dedication to making technological advancements that have a positive impact on society.
Chen also emphasized the transformative power of 5G. “5G has done what was impossible in the past. For enhancing industrial capabilities, 5G is not just an additional enhancement but actually addresses past vulnerabilities,” she stated. She expressed her hope that various industries will increasingly adopt 5G, leading to commercial success and development across different fields.
ZTE’s contributions to Thailand’s innovation landscape have been undeniable. Through their practical applications and technological advancements, the company has played a crucial role in driving the country’s progress. As ZTE continues to expand globally and invest in digital infrastructure development, their collaborations with local partners will be integral to their continued success. With their focus on AI integration in 5G networks and commitment to the betterment of society, ZTE is shaping the future of innovation in Thailand and beyond.
