ZTE Releases 5GAxI UniMAX Deterministic Connectivity Solution

ZTE and China Unicom unveiled 5GAxI UniMAX at MWC Barcelona 2026, a deterministic connectivity solution built on on-base-station AI acceleration engines and a connection orchestration engine. The system uses Uni-PHY, Uni-Cell and Uni-Band technologies to reduce protocol overhead, mitigate inter-cell interference, lower latency and improve spectrum efficiency, addressing projected Mobile AI traffic growth to 50% by 2031. Company-reported field trials show improved cell-edge experience and scalable edge AI deployment.
