ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile internet, today announced that it has been rewarded with the 2022 Global Telecom DC Power Product Leadership Award, according to the Frost & Sullivan’s assessment of the global telecom DC power industry.
ZTE offers holistic telecom power products and solutions that provide a superior customer ownership experience throughout each product’s lifecycle. ZTE creates highly efficient, modular, intelligent, and green telecom power solutions that address current customer pain points and evolving future 5G requirements. The Zero Carbon Energy Network, an advanced DC power system, addresses carbon emission challenges based on 5G networks and evolving hyper-scale data center architecture. The system transforms highly interconnected and intelligent energy infrastructure to offer a complete shift from traditional network energy solutions.
ZTE’s Zero Carbon Energy Network enables seamless energy management and scheduling, from power generation to power consumption of the entire energy power supply chain. The energy network improves and optimizes energy efficiency and O&M efficiency. The level of intelligence embedded in the energy network’s components, such as lithium-ion batteries, solar, power distribution and transformation, and thermal control, sets it apart from competing solutions. The network has the following three layers:The product technology layer drives low-carbon and zero-carbon initiatives. This first layer includes the following:
- The product technology layer drives low-carbon and zero-carbon initiatives. This first layer includes the following:
