ZTE debuted their Ultra Band Radio (UBR) tech — compact, green, and powerful. It’s designed to create fast, energy-efficient mobile networks that are easy to deploy even in remote areas. They also flexed their Minimalist Private 5G-A Solution, which won big at the 2025 GLOMO Awards.

📌 Real-World Impact in Sarawak

ZTE’s tech powered the 2024 SUKMA Games in Sarawak, with 4K AR streaming and ultra-reliable drone logistics. Think smart waterways, high-speed rural connections, and solar-powered base stations.

📌 Smart Homes Just Got Smarter

ZTE unveiled an entire AI-driven smart home ecosystem featuring:

• AI Home Media Center

• 4K AI Soundbar

• The first AI screen-equipped FTTR

• Wi-Fi 7 LinkPro series
  All aimed at levelling up home and SME digital lifestyles.

The Power of AI: Beyond Buzzwords

The spotlight was on AIR DNA Future Network, ZTE’s AI-native infrastructure that automates and upgrades mobile networks from the core. Add to that AiCube, their intelligent computing solution for smart cities, edge computing, and enterprise AI.

Gaming Just Got Real: Hello, nubia Neo 3 Series

For the gamers, ZTE introduced its nubia Neo 3 series, now the official co-branded gaming smartphone for Free Fire. With shoulder triggers, a massive cooling system, and an AI gaming buddy named Demi, this is a next-gen esports-ready beast in your pocket.

Big Moves for Malaysia’s Digital Transformation

Steven Ge, Managing Director of ZTE Malaysia, dropped a key flex — during a live 5G test in Sarawak, ZTE clocked 30.8 Gbps, earning a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records.

But this isn’t just hype. ZTE’s pushing for inclusivity by collaborating with national programs like JENDELA, helping close the rural coverage gap. They’ve already modernized over 10,000 sites and played a major role in Malaysia’s digital rollout.

What’s Next? A Call for Collaboration

With partners like CelcomDigi, Maxis, TM, and MCMC in the room, ZTE made it clear: they’re here to co-create Malaysia’s digital future. More speed, more access, and more AI-powered innovation.
