On September 10, at the 2026 China Unicom Partner Conference, ZTE President Xu Ziyang said that with the evolution of networks in the AI era, connectivity targets are shifting from “human networking” to “intelligent networking”, value scales are shifting from bits to tokens, and network capacity requirements are shifting from traditional downloads to large upside and determinism. Xu Ziyang explained that facing the connectivity needs of the AI era, ZTE is promoting connectivity upgrades in all aspects and building a solid computing network foundation: consolidating network capabilities with large uplink bandwidth, deterministic guarantees, and synesthetic intelligence; expanding connectivity boundaries with integrated space-space upgrades; improving operational efficiency through intelligent operation and maintenance; and transforming differentiated services into commercial value to form a business model that can be replicated on a large scale. He pointed out that computing power is the core productivity in the AI era, and the network is the “artery” that allows computing power to flow efficiently. To this end, ZTE proposed “forcible calculation on the Internet.”
