ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of 
telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile 
Internet, today announced that ZTE and China Mobile have launched China's first 
5G medical edge cloud platform. As a new-generation 5G information 
communication infrastructure for medical industry customers, it is the 
industry's first 5G intelligent edge cloud platform, employing a cloud-network 
integrated architecture.

Integrating 5G slicing and edge computing technologies, the 5G medical edge 
cloud platform can well satisfy the core capability requirements for 
connection, computing, storage, middle platform, service and security in the 
medical industry in a one-stop manner, thereby providing manageable and 
controllable cloud-network integrated services.

The 5G edge cloud deployed on the user side can effectively shorten the network 
route and greatly reduce network delay. In addition, the highly reliable 
connection guarantee capability of the 5G private network enables innovative 
medical applications, such as remote diagnosis and surgery, AI assistance, 
mobile medicine and surgical instruction. 

Moreover, the 5G medical edge cloud can effectively implement big data 
management of medical health care. The medical application systems on the edge 
cloud can be quickly interconnected, with their data being calculated, stored, 
and managed flexibly as required. 

The 5G medical edge cloud can also significantly reduce the cost of medical 
informatization by means of the unified cloud-based deployment of various  
medical application systems. The open architecture of the 5G medical edge cloud 
can provide various applications with standard interfaces and provide hospitals 
with integrated smart medical solutions, thus building a smart medical 
application ecosystem. 

To date, nearly 100 Internet medical applications have been deployed on China 
Mobile's 5G medical edge cloud, making it quite convenient for patients to 
access various medical services.

As strategic partners, ZTE and China Mobile (Chengdu) Industrial Research 
Institute have set up a joint 5G Innovation Lab where the two parties carry out 
in-depth cooperation in industry-dedicated network technologies and MEC 
(Multi-access edge computing). In addition, based on 5G slicing, MEC, XR, and 
other technologies, ZTE and China Mobile (Chengdu) Industrial Research 
Institute have explored innovative applications in healthcare and other fields, 
for instance, the 5G medical edge cloud.

China Mobile's 5G medical edge cloud will accelerate the large-scale 
applications of China Mobile's new-generation 5G smart hospital solutions, and 
facilitate the industry development of medical informatization. 

Moving forward, ZTE will continue to strengthen cooperation with China Mobile, 
and work with industry partners to provide better network services and smarter 
applications. ZTE will keep promoting the construction of new information and 
communication infrastructure in the healthcare sector while facilitating the 
development of the telemedicine industry, so as to create a new era of 5G smart 
healthcare.
