— ZTE Company has introduced a major innovation in intelligent networking with the launch of the Differentiation-driven Generative Network solution at MWC Barcelona 2026. This development highlights a new stage in the integration of AI and 5G-Advanced technologies. It also reflects a strong industry shift toward intelligent and adaptive network systems.
At the event, ZTE partnered with China Telecom to unveil the DGN solution. This solution is designed to deliver differentiated connectivity experiences for both consumer and industrial users. It provides a strong foundation for the growth of multi-modal AI services and supports the evolution toward full-scenario intelligent networks.
A New Milestone in Intelligent Network Evolution
The release of the DGN solution represents a critical milestone in network innovation. It builds on earlier advancements and marks the next phase in the development of intelligent communication systems.
ZTE and its partner have been working to integrate AI deeply into network architecture. This effort began with earlier solutions that focused on improving user-centric performance. The DGN solution now expands this approach by introducing more advanced capabilities.
The solution combines native intelligence with multi-user distributed MIMO technology. This integration allows the network to deliver precise and efficient connectivity. It also ensures that different services receive tailored performance levels based on their requirements.
Addressing Challenges in the Mobile AI Era
As AI applications continue to evolve, network demands are becoming more complex. New use cases such as AI glasses, cloud gaming, and embodied intelligence require high performance and low latency. These applications also demand consistent user experiences across different environments.
At the same time, network traffic continues to grow rapidly. This creates pressure on existing infrastructure. Traditional methods of expanding capacity, such as adding new sites or deploying additional carriers, often involve high costs and long timelines.
ZTE addresses these challenges with a more efficient approach. The DGN solution focuses on optimizing existing resources rather than relying solely on expansion. It uses intelligent algorithms to manage traffic and allocate resources dynamically.
Core Technology Breakthroughs Behind the Solution
The DGN solution is built on two key technological advancements that improve both network efficiency and performance.
The first breakthrough is intelligent coordination across time, frequency, and space. By using multi-cell and multi-user joint scheduling, the system can allocate resources with high precision. It analyzes service requirements and traffic patterns in real time. This enables millisecond-level adjustments that match network resources to specific needs.
The second breakthrough is multi-cell joint signal processing. This technology enhances both uplink and downlink performance. It works with a distributed native intelligence architecture to improve spectrum efficiency and network capacity.
Real-World Performance and Validation
The DGN solution has already undergone field verification in the Yangtze River Delta region, including Zhejiang and Shanghai. The results demonstrate clear improvements in both efficiency and user experience.
Under unchanged network resources, spectrum efficiency increased by 21.5 percent. Network capacity improved by more than 20 percent. These gains highlight the effectiveness of the solution in optimizing resource utilization.
The impact is also visible in real-world applications. AI smartphone interaction response times improved by 50 percent. Cloud gaming performance saw a reduction in page latency by 43 percent. High-definition video streaming became significantly smoother, with a 68.45 percent improvement in fluency.
These results confirm that the solution can support diverse and demanding use cases. It also proves that intelligent resource management can deliver measurable benefits across different scenarios.
Enabling Multi-Modal AI Services
The rise of multi-modal AI services is transforming how networks are used. Applications now combine different types of data, including video, audio, and real-time interaction. This creates new requirements for network performance.
ZTE supports this transformation by providing a network foundation that can handle these complex demands. The DGN solution ensures that each application receives the appropriate level of service. It also maintains consistent performance even in challenging conditions.
For example, AI-powered industrial inspection systems require stable and low-latency connections. Cloud gaming platforms need high bandwidth and fast response times. The DGN solution can meet these varied requirements through intelligent resource allocation.
Strengthening Collaboration and Innovation
The development of the DGN solution reflects a strong commitment to collaboration. ZTE works closely with partners to drive innovation and accelerate deployment.
This partnership approach allows for the integration of diverse expertise and technologies. It also ensures that solutions are practical and aligned with real-world needs.
ZTE continues to focus on advancing core technologies and overcoming key challenges. By working with industry partners, the company aims to create a more robust and efficient network ecosystem.
Building the Future of Intelligent Networks
The introduction of the DGN solution is part of a broader vision for the future of communication networks. ZTE aims to create systems that are intelligent, adaptive, and capable of supporting a wide range of applications.
This vision includes the development of full-scenario intelligent networks. These networks can handle diverse use cases and provide consistent performance across different environments.
The focus is on creating a strong foundation for both intelligent life and intelligent production. This includes supporting advanced applications in various sectors and improving overall connectivity experiences.
ZTE continues to invest in research and development to achieve these goals. The company is also committed to expanding its ecosystem and driving continuous innovation.
Conclusion
ZTE Company has taken a significant step forward with the launch of the DGN solution at MWC Barcelona 2026. This innovation demonstrates the potential of combining AI and 5G-Advanced technologies to create more intelligent and efficient networks.
Looking ahead, ZTE will continue to drive innovation in intelligent networking. The goal is to build a strong and flexible foundation that supports the next generation of digital services and experiences.
