        "content": "<p>ZTE Corporation, a leading global provider of integrated information\nand communication technology solutions, has won three prestigious awards\nat the Selular Award 2026, held on 8 June 2026 at the Hotel Menara\nPeninsula in Jakarta. The awards acknowledge ZTE\u2019s contribution and\ninnovation in advancing artificial intelligence (AI)-based network\ntechnology amid the acceleration of digital transformation and 5G\ndevelopment in Indonesia. ZTE\u2019s contribution to AI-based network\ninnovation was recognised by the Selular Media Network (SMN), a\nprominent telecommunications and technology media outlet in Indonesia,\nthrough three awards at the Selular Award 2026. ZTE won in the\ncategories of Best AI Technology Fixed Wireless Access, Best AI Network\nEcosystem, and Best Native AI Baseband. These awards reflect ZTE\u2019s\ncapabilities in delivering innovation in network access, ecosystem\ndevelopment, and core infrastructure, while strengthening its position\nas a technology partner supporting digital transformation and AI-based\nnetwork evolution in Indonesia. The Selular Award is an annual\nappreciation programme organised by Selular Media Network to honour\noutstanding achievements and contributions in Indonesia\u2019s ICT and\ndigital technology industry. As the first and most consistent\ntelecommunications industry award since 2003, the Selular Award serves\nas a benchmark of excellence, recognising companies and brands that\ndemonstrate innovation, superior performance, and tangible contributions\nto Indonesia\u2019s digital transformation. Through this award, the public\nand business players can identify industry leaders who continue to\ncreate value and drive the progress of the digital ecosystem. This year,\nthe Selular Award carried the theme \u2018Leading The Future: Building\nExponential Value in 5G-Advanced and AI Economy\u2019, highlighting the\nconvergence of AI and 5G-Advanced as key drivers of digital economic\ngrowth. Kevin Fang, Marketing Director of ZTE Indonesia, stated that\ndigital transformation is no longer solely driven by connectivity, but\nalso by the network\u2019s ability to operate more intelligently,\nefficiently, and adaptively. He added that through AI-based innovations\ndeveloped by ZTE, from broadband access to core infrastructure, the\ncompany is committed to delivering network solutions ready to meet\nconnectivity needs in the AI and 5G-Advanced era. The award serves as\nmotivation for ZTE to continue delivering meaningful innovation and\ncreating value for the industry, customers, businesses, and society.\nIndonesia\u2019s telecommunications industry is currently entering a critical\nphase in its digital transformation journey. According to the e-Conomy\nSEA 2025 report published by Google, Temasek, and Bain &amp; Company,\nrevenue from AI-based applications in Indonesia grew by 127%\nyear-on-year, the highest in Southeast Asia, with 80% of users\ninteracting with AI applications daily. This momentum reflects the\nincreasing need for network infrastructure that is not only fast and\nreliable but also capable of supporting AI workloads. On the\ninfrastructure side, GSMA Intelligence projects that 5G investment in\nIndonesia could contribute up to USD 41 billion to the national Gross\nDomestic Product over the 2024 to 2030 period. This projection\nunderscores the strategic role of 5G as a connectivity foundation\nsupporting digital transformation and economic growth. At the same time,\nthe increasing adoption of AI and data-based services is driving the\nneed for faster, more reliable networks capable of handling greater\ncapacity. As part of its commitment to supporting this development, ZTE\ncontinues to deliver innovation across the entire network technology\nvalue chain, from broadband access to core infrastructure. On the access\nside, ZTE provides AI-based Fixed Wireless Access solutions designed to\nexpand high-speed connectivity more efficiently and flexibly. This\nsolution represents a strategic approach to supporting equitable\nbroadband access while addressing the growing demand for connectivity\nacross various regions. ZTE is also building an open ecosystem that\nintegrates AI, connectivity, cloud computing, and other digital\ntechnologies within a collaborative framework involving operators and\nenterprises. At the core infrastructure level, ZTE integrates AI\ncapabilities natively into the baseband, the main component responsible\nfor network signal processing. By embedding AI directly into the\nbaseband from the design stage, the network can analyse, optimise, and\nadjust its operations more intelligently and in real time. This approach\nenables more autonomous and efficient network operations while preparing\nthe network to meet the demands of the 5G-Advanced era. Looking ahead,\nZTE will continue to deepen collaboration with operators, enterprises,\nand industry partners in Indonesia, while strengthening its technology\nportfolio encompassing wireless access solutions, optical transport,\ndata centre infrastructure, and telecommunications energy solutions. In\nline with Indonesia\u2019s vision to become a leading digital economy in\nSoutheast Asia, ZTE remains committed to accelerating national digital\ntransformation through AI-based innovation, intelligent connectivity,\nand next-generation network technology that benefits more industries and\nregions across Indonesia.<\/p>",
