ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, participated in the 5G Vertical Industry Summit held by Ooredoo Algeria (OA) in Algiers. The summit marked a major milestone for the North African telecommunications market and opened a new chapter for Algeria's digital economic and social development.
At the event, OA demonstrated the power of 5G through live speed tests that achieved dramatically faster downloads and ultra-low latency compared with existing networks, delivering a step-change user experience. Multiple interactive zones showcased real-world 5G applications, featuring robot dog that interacted with the audience and dynamically demonstrated capabilities, allowing attendees to experience how 5G will reshape lifestyles and work across industries.
The successful 5G launch was enabled by deep collaboration between OA and ZTE.
ZTE provided comprehensive technical support and assurance for the event, underscoring the strength of the partnership and shared commitment to advancing Algeria's digital future.
Zhang Zhe, CEO of ZTE Algeria, stated, "We are proud to partner with Ooredoo Algeria to accelerate 5G commercialization and empower the nation's digital economy."
Gao Song, CTO of ZTE Algeria, added, "Our efficient, future-ready 5G solution ensures superior experience today and a smooth path for continuous evolution."
The year 2025 marks the first year of 5G commercialization in Algeria. ZTE is providing OA with an efficient and high-quality 5G solution. The upcoming deployment of 5G dual-band AAUs fully supports the currently commercialized 3.5 GHz band and adopts an A+P configuration (active + passive integration) to streamline site design and tower-top layout, ensuring robust capacity and coverage for near-term needs. This leading solution helps reduce long-term investment costs for the operator, maximizes tower space utilization, and strongly supports the large-scale, efficient deployment of OA's 5G network.
Beyond consumer services, OA's 5G network will catalyze the upgrade and development of Algeria's vertical industries. In the years ahead, 5G is expected to be widely applied in smart manufacturing, smart agriculture, remote education, and more—injecting new vitality into Algeria's economic development through the empowerment of industrial upgrades.
