PRESS RELEASE: ZTE Corporation launched the industry’s first intelligent 400GE base station router, the ZXCTN 6120H-SE, at its “Ultra-Efficient Mobile Network” exhibition area during MWC Barcelona 2025.

Amid the global wave of digital transformation, the rapid rise of AIGC services and surging data traffic are placing higher demands on network infrastructure. Designed to address this challenge, the new router leverages innovative technologies and exceptional performance to provide operators and enterprises with intelligent, efficient, and sustainable network solutions for the future.

Focusing on key scenarios and driving network evolution

The ZXCTN 6120H-SE is designed to address the core demands of network construction such as 5G-A, 6G evolution, and fixed-mobile convergence,catering to  the long-term development needs of operators and enterprises. It supports 50G interfaces with SFP56 packaging and the industry’s highest-density 100G interfaces, laying a solid foundation for future 6G networks. Additionally, in fixed-mobile convergence, the router enables 100GE access for 25G PON and 50G PON devices, delivering faster and more stable network experiences for both home and enterprise users. With the ability to seamlessly manage increasingly complex network environments and rising traffic demands, the ZXCTN 6120H-SE offers a future-proof solution with an evolution potential of over 15 years.

Four core advantages, setting a new industry benchmark

  • Rich interface design, flexibly meeting diverse demands

The ZXCTN 6120H-SE features powerful networking capabilities, supporting 2×400GE uplink networking and up to 8×100GE QSFP28 interfaces—the industry’s highest 100G density. It also accommodates 50G interfaces with SFP56 packaging to meet 6G BBU access demands and 100G interfaces for 25G/50G PON access. Additionally, the device offers various interface options, including 25GE, 10GE, and GE, ensuring seamless integration with 5G-A base stations and existing services. This flexible interface design reduces network deployment complexity, providing users with efficient and adaptable solutions.

  • Efficient power consumption control, advancing green networks

As a compact 1U device, the ZXCTN 6120H-SE doubles switching capacity to 2.4T within limited equipment room space. Leveraging innovative AI energy-saving technology, it achieves an ultra-low power consumption of just 0.12W/Gbit—50% lower than traditional equipment—setting a new benchmark for sustainable network construction.

  • Outstanding performance, ensuring efficient and stable transport

With its advanced architecture, the ZXCTN 6120H-SE enables high-speed forwarding of large-scale data and supports network slicing to guarantee low-latency, high-reliability data transmission. Whether handling large-scale service transport or high-concurrency traffic, it delivers exceptional performance.

  • Intelligent AI evolution, ushering in a new era of network O&M

Powered by an integrated AI computing model, the ZXCTN 6120H-SE offers two key advantages. In network O&M, it enhances operational efficiency by 30%, dynamically predicting faults, issuing early warnings, and resolving potential issues automatically. Additionally, as AI-driven large models like DS propel network architecture toward greater intelligence and efficiency, the device facilitates new opportunities for business expansion and service optimization. By integrating computing power, it enables efficient network access and edge inference services, particularly for government and enterprise private lines, enhancing competitiveness in the 2B sector.

With the rapid evolution of technology and growing demands for network performance, network equipment is advancing toward higher capacity, simplified deployment, and lower energy consumption. Committed to continuous innovation and product R&D, ZTE remains dedicated to the ideology of “efficient, intelligent, and green networks”. ZTE is eager to collaborate with industry partners to drive the development and adoption of next-generation network technologies, support customers in network upgrades and business innovation, and jointly embrace the limitless possibilities of the digital era.
