fingerprint" intelligent ODN solution addresses these issues by localization of optical path quality and faults. By employing
enabling precise identification of optical splitter port statuses, technologies like optical path identification, high-precision
intelligent topology restoration, and accurate identification and detection, and AI analysis, the solution transforms the "dumb"
ODN pipeline into a "smart" one. This transformation enhances
the accuracy of ODN resources, revitalizes idle resources, and
significantly boosts O&M efficiency, paving the way for an end-to-
end digital and intelligent optical access network. Moving forward,
China Mobile Shaoxing plans to deepen its collaboration with
ZTE by extending the application of the intelligent ODN solution
to broader scenarios, including businesses, industrial campuses,
and 10G migration. This will accelerate the integration of high-
quality productivity into all-optical networks.

MTN and ZTE Launch 5G-A Public Experience in South Africa, Achieving 9.2
Gbps Download Speed

ZTE Corporation, a global leading provider of
integrated information and communication
technology solutions, in collaboration with
MTN South Africa, has launched 5G-A
public experience at the MTN Store in V&A
Waterfront, Cape Town. The event achieved
an ultra-download speed of 9.2 Gbps,
further solidifying MTN's leadership in the
South African telecom market. The 5G-A
public experience attracted hundreds of
participants and featured several cutting-
edge applications namely an AI-generated
content (AIGC), and a robotic dog, and
nubia's glasses-free 3D tablet with cloud-
based rendering applications. During
the event, ZTE showcased the latest test
results of its 5G-A technology, leveraging
