ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, in partnership with China Telecom Shanghai, AgiBot, Donghao Lansheng (the operator of the exhibition and venue), and Shanghai Academy of Next Generation Information and Communications Technology, successfully deployed the cutting-edge 5G-A EasyOn·Robot private network at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC).
The WAIC 2025 is imperative to ensure that the network services were both reliable and efficient for the tens of thousands of participants and exhibitors who attended the conference. The 5G-A EasyOn·Robot private network guaranteed a high-reliability and low-latency wireless connection, which supported a variety of AI applications in the whole exhibition halls including the vital area known as "Shanghai Longtang-themed Robotics Street".
This year, the exhibition hall saw a significant increase in demand for services such as high-definition video transmission, real-time human-machine interaction, and intelligent device collaboration due to the proliferation of intelligent devices. However, Wi-Fi encountered interference issues in high-density scenarios, resulting in slower speeds or failed connections, while traditional wired solutions were complex and limited in mobility.
The exhibition operator Donghao Lansheng turned to the 5G-A minimalist private network, to meet the stringent requirements of applications such as embodied intelligence collaboration and AR demo, which require high reliability, low latency, and high traffic. The 5G-A EasyOn·Robot private network supplied by China Telecom Shanghai and ZTE guarantee an uplink rate of over 100 Mbps per user, a deterministic RTT latency of ≤10ms, and ultra-high reliability of 99.99%, thereby satisfying the requirements of a variety of intelligent terminals and applications. Effectively supporting the diversified innovative applications at WAIC 2025, on-site tests revealed uplink rates of 2 Gbps, downlink rates of 6 Gbps, and air interface latency of below 10ms for 5G-A terminals.
The "Shanghai Longtang-themed Robotics Street", a standout feature of the exhibition, showcased the remarkable capabilities of AgiBot's robots through captivating performances. These robots masterfully blended artificial intelligence with traditional Chinese culture, skillfully writing the Chinese character "Fu", performing dynamic drumming, and executing robotic dragon dance. Audiences engaged in real-time conversations with the robots, experiencing how humanoid intelligence seamlessly integrates into daily life, offering innovative services and transformative possibilities for the future.
The 5G-A minimalist private network powers exhibitions with high-performance wireless connectivity, offering swift deployment, strong anti-interference features, and exceptional mobility. It transforms exhibitions by enabling swarm intelligence through cloud-edge-device synergy, delivering captivating AR experiences, and providing seamless access to computing power. As a robust connectivity backbone for the conference, it drives cutting-edge, scalable digital and intelligent enhancements to exhibition experiences. Looking ahead, the 5G-A minimalist private network will catalyze smarter, more efficient industries, paving the way for a transformative digital future.
This year's theme for WAIC is "Global Solidarity in the AI Era". The exhibition area spans over 70,000 square meters, drawing the attention of over 800 enterprises and showcasing more than 3,000 products.
