ZTE revealed on Tuesday it has signed an MoU with Indonesian telco XLSmart to expand their existing cooperation into the realm of AI-powered 5G networks and fixed wireless access (FWA). XLSmart said this will help it simplify network operations, improve service agility, and respond more effectively to changes in traffic demand. The MoU also calls for XLSmart and ZTE to add value to its 5G network by expanding network capabilities, enabling new digital services, and establishing a stronger foundation for the next generation of connectivity. That includes accelerating commercialization and growth of XLSmart’s 5G FWA offering in terms of network evolution and optimization, CPE innovation, enhanced broadband experiences, market expansion, and exploration of new commercial opportunities. “Through our collaboration with ZTE, XLSmart is strengthening its ability to build a more intelligent, automated, and efficient network while continuing to deliver reliable digital experiences for customers,” said XLSmart president director Rajeev Sethi in a statement.
