ZTE Corporation Showcases AI-Powered Broadband Monetization Solutions in Latin America
ZTE Corporation, a global provider of integrated ICT solutions, recently held its Broadband User Congress under the theme “Monetize Your Intelligent Broadband.” The event brought together more than 300 leaders from internet service providers, telecom operators, government agencies, industry organizations, and ecosystem partners across Latin America. Focused on reducing network costs, improving operational efficiency, and advancing home service innovation, the congress introduced intelligent broadband monetization strategies designed to help operators and ISPs expand beyond traditional connectivity services, increase ARPU, diversify revenue streams, and strengthen market competitiveness.
Fang Hui highlighted ZTE’s long-standing presence in Latin America, noting that the company has completed numerous flagship projects over the past two decades and now serves more than 100 million users in Brazil. He emphasized that ZTE aims to enhance premium digital experiences through innovation, encourage industry growth through collaborative partnerships, and support AI-driven transformation. By leveraging its integrated “Connectivity + Computing” capabilities, the company seeks to develop an open and intelligent digital ecosystem alongside regional partners.
During the congress, ZTE demonstrated upgraded product portfolios and operational strategies that turn intelligent broadband monetization into practical and scalable business opportunities.
For broadband infrastructure, ZTE showcased solutions designed to build high-performance networks tailored to operator requirements.
Within access networks, the company’s FTTx monetization offerings simplify deployment through lightweight OLT technology. By integrating CEM and AI, operators can conduct more accurate quality analysis and targeted marketing while expanding into enterprise opportunities with AI-powered all-optical campuses and interactive flat-panel solutions. An intelligent end-to-end ODN system was also introduced to provide complete lifecycle network assurance.
In transport networking, ZTE unveiled its AI-enhanced C+L full-band 1.6T OTN solution, which improves single-wavelength transmission rates, spectrum utilization, and intelligent operations and maintenance. The company also launched a 28.8 Tbps single-slot core router along with advanced 100GE and 400GE aggregation routers, supporting the creation of ultra-broadband, energy-efficient, secure, and intelligent next-generation IP networks.
For smart operations and maintenance, ZTE introduced its AIOps platform, designed to accelerate fault diagnosis, reduce operational expenses, and support the evolution toward L4 autonomous networking.
In the home broadband sector, ZTE emphasized AI-driven innovations aimed at optimizing total cost of ownership.
Its smart connectivity portfolio centers on AI-powered Wi-Fi 7 technology, combining strengths in coverage, hardware, software, and supply chain management to help operators improve efficiency and optimize deployments.
For smart home value-added services, ZTE demonstrated AI-powered applications including intelligent operations tools, smart cameras, and AI Smart View technologies. These solutions create integrated home experiences covering entertainment, fitness, automation, and security, allowing operators to move from basic connectivity services toward premium offerings.
The company’s SCP smart operations platform enables centralized management of home devices, offering features such as remote diagnostics, one-click optimization, stolen-device locking, and targeted value-added service marketing. These capabilities are intended to lower maintenance costs, stabilize revenue streams, and improve long-term monetization efficiency.
ZTE also introduced solutions aimed at helping ISPs accelerate revenue growth through lightweight and efficient deployments.
Its Light PON technology supports rapid and affordable network rollouts, helping providers reduce time-to-market. Meanwhile, Light OTN combines a high-density 12.8T-in-2U design with simplified WebGUI management, supporting single-wavelength 1.6T transmission, plug-and-play functionality, and zero-touch deployment to reduce operational complexity and costs.
The Light IP Network solution delivers streamlined IP convergence from customer premises equipment to backbone infrastructure using an open architecture, AI-powered simplified O&M, and flexible product evolution capabilities that support heterogeneous network integration.
At the congress, ZTE also launched its next-generation TV 3.0 set-top box, signaling a new stage in Brazil’s digital television transformation. The company partnered with MediaTek to introduce Wi-Fi 7 and 10G PON solutions for premium home and SMB applications, helping operators target higher-value customers. In addition, Qualcomm and ZTE announced collaboration efforts focused on AI-era networking infrastructure, combining Qualcomm’s AI-native Wi-Fi and fixed wireless access technologies with ZTE’s networking expertise.
Lu Maoliang described Brazil as one of ZTE’s key strategic markets. He noted that over 25 years of localized operations in Latin America, ZTE has supported more than 100 operators and ISPs, deployed over 60,000 kilometers of optical fiber, and connected more than 30 million households. He added that the congress was designed to address regional market needs while helping customers achieve long-term commercial growth through advanced technologies and solutions.
