PRESS RELEASE: ZTE Corporation has unveiled the innovations of its RAN multi-agent collaboration solution with China Mobile during the China International Information and Communications Technology Exhibition (PTEXPO) in Beijing. The multi-agent collaboration solution introduces AI large models into the end-to-end operation and maintenance of mobile networks for the first time, yielding impressive performance and efficiency improvements across various locations in China. This represents a significant leap forward in network digitalization and intelligence.

Through the extensive deployment and development of 5G, China Mobile has built the world’s largest mobile network. This expansion has led to increasingly complex network structures and diverse applications, demanding higher efficiency in network operations and maintenance. With the deep integration of 5G with AI+, the introduction of large models is revolutionizing the telecom industry.

The innovations of RAN multi-agent collaboration solution, unveiled at this event, are built upon the latest AI large model tailored for the telecom industry. By harnessing multi-agent collaboration, the solution leverages the network’s native AI atomic capabilities, empowering the network operation and maintenance platform, and exploring a new paradigm for intelligent network management.

The RAN multi-agent collaboration solution seamlessly integrates telecom knowledge, structured data, and network capabilities, enabling accurate understanding and intelligent decision-making in complex operation and maintenance scenarios through multi-agent collaboration and orchestration. This transformation shifts from the traditional “people+tools” model to a new self-orchestrating intelligent service model. The new approach improves the network’s adaptive capabilities and self-service levels, promotes the synergy among various intelligent technologies, and drives the overall advancement of network intelligence. Furthermore, this solution explores new business models and application scenarios, fostering effective integration of 5G-A and AI, expanding the 5G-A industrial ecosystem and enhancing overall industrial value.  

In the journey of network transformation driven by “5G+” and “AI+”, ZTE and China Mobile collaborate closely to address the challenges posed by ultra-large-scale mobile networks, complex structures, stringent professional requirements, and high performance and security demands, aiming to establish a new paradigm in mobile network operation and maintenance. Since 2023, ZTE and China Mobile have actively promoted the AI multi-agent collaboration solution for network operation and maintenance, showcasing its effectiveness at major events across China, including the Wuzhen Internet Conference, concerts at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, the Jin’an International Tennis Open, the Xi’an Great Tang All Day Mall, and various events in Beijing. At a concert held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, the solution achieved a 30% reduction in manpower required for network performance assurance. Similarly, at the Xi’an Great Tang All Day Mall, it facilitated a 20% increase in network traffic while significantly enhancing user experience. These improvements highlight the solution’s capability to enhance operation and maintenance efficiency while improving network performance and user perception.

The unveiling of the multi-agent collaboration innovations marks a significant milestone in the network intelligence strategies of ZTE and China Mobile. Moving forward, both companies are committed to deepening their partnership to drive breakthroughs in key intelligent technologies, explore diverse application scenarios, provide robust technical support for the advancement of telecom industry, and facilitate digital transformation across various sectors.
