Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Technology Leadership Award to 
companies that demonstrate leadership in developing and leveraging new 
technologies that offer significant customer value. 

ZTE established its leadership in 5G by investing heavily in 5G standardization 
and product R&D, and subsequently deriving profound insights into 5G 
technologies. Working in 5G deployment for years, ZTE has launched a series of 
commercially oriented all-band 5G AAU, 5G transport, 5G core network, 5G 
devices, and other end-to-end 5G solutions to prepare for large-scale 5G 
commercialization. 

ZTE's full series of 5G base stations can be deployed in various 5G scenarios, 
helping operators build wide-coverage, high-capacity, rapid-deployment, and 
cost-effective 5G networks. 

In terms of architecture, ZTE's flexible solutions are capable of satisfying 
operators' requirements at different stages of 5G deployment, from SA 
(stand-alone) mode to NSA (non-stand-alone) mode. 

In December 2018, in association with Qualcomm and China Mobile, ZTE completed 
the world's first 3GPP R15-compliant SA 5G data connection at 2.6GHz by means 
of commercial 5G base stations and 5G devices.  

In the core network field, ZTE's Convergent Common Core solution, based on 3GPP 
R16 SBA+, adopts the advanced technologies of CUPS, distributed resource pool, 
and network slicing to help operators quickly build an agile, efficient, and 
converged core network, fully addressing diversified requirements of 
2G/3G/4G/5G/fixed networks and vertical industries.

In the transport field, ZTE's 5G Flexhaul solution covers all scenarios ranging 
from front-haul to back-haul, leading in latency, high-precision clock 
synchronization, and network slicing. At present, the full series of ZTE's 
end-to-end transport products are ready for commercialization.

So far, ZTE has declared over 1000 families of 3GPP 5G Standard Essential 
Patents (SEP) to the European Telecommunications Standardization Institute 
(ETSI). In addition, the company initiated and played a leading role in 
fostering Non Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) by guiding the core project 
research needed to establish the NOMA standard.

"ZTE clearly understands the 5G requirements of mobile operators and is poised 
to lead next-generation network enhancements," said Vikrant Gandhi, industry 
director at Frost & Sullivan. "ZTE's complete product portfolio for 5G, 
commitment to sustained innovation, and track record of successful 
commercialization of new technologies present a strong case to establish it as 
a vendor of choice in future 5G infrastructure deployments."

"ZTE has been constantly committed to technological innovation. Leveraging the 
rich experience acquired through practice, ZTE has great advantages in massive 
MIMO commercialization, end-to-end commercial verification, and independent 
networking SA deployment," said Bai Yanmin, vice president, general manager of 
TDD & 5G products at ZTE. "ZTE is fully prepared for the large-scale deployment 
of 5G commercial networks, and is confident about promoting the maturity of the 
5G industry in collaboration with operators and partners." 

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in regional and 
global markets that demonstrate outstanding achievements and superior 
performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer services, and 
strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants 
and measure their performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and 
secondary research to identify the best practices in the industry.
