ZTE: Multi-Vendor Net Simulation: From Reactive to Predictive

ZTE’s Multi-Vendor Net Simulation provides a full-lifecycle simulation for network planning, deployment, operation, and optimization. The system addresses key challenges in transport network deployment and maintenance—such as low cross-vendor efficiency, high trial-and-error costs, and significant uncertainty—shifting operators from traditional reactive repairs to predictive maintenance. It provides core support for evolving toward a unified, efficient, and autonomous multi-vendor network. In its application with China Telecom Guangdong, the system has demonstrated significant reductions in deployment costs, including an 80% improvement in efficiency.

Judge’s comment: “Exciting use of digital twin technology across multi-vendor networks to identify, troubleshoot, and manage network hiccups.”
