NEW
YORK, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ZTE
Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of
integrated information and communication technology solutions,
recently announced that Summer Chen,
Vice President at ZTE, was invited to participate in SDG Digital
and delivered a keynote speech at "A Digital Future for All" at
United Nations Headquarters. During her speech, Ms.Chen shared
ZTE's global efforts to leverage digital technologies for
biodiversity protection, and articulated the company's strong
commitment to advancing meaningful global connectivity and digital
transformation, while actively promoting initiatives aligned with
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
"A Digital Future for All" is the digital track of the Summit of
the Future Action Days. Convened by the Office of the Special Envoy
on Technology (OSET), the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the
digital track has brought forward-looking commitments from all
stakeholders to harness innovation, science and data in a more
inclusive, safe and sustainable manner, advancing a collective
vision for leveraging digital technologies to deliver a more
sustainable, inclusive, and responsible future.
In Summer Chen's address, she
emphasized that ZTE, in collaboration with Sanjiangyuan National
Park, China Mobile Qinghai Branch, and China Tower, navigated extreme natural
conditions and technical challenges to deliver a comprehensive
telecommunication solution for Kekexili Nature Reserve, featuring
high-capacity microwave technology, base stations and long-distance
coverage. This initiative successfully established the first 5G
base station at Zhuonai Lake Protection Station, enabling real-time
monitoring of Tibetan antelope births and enhancing communication
for guardians in challenging environments. The advancement also
opens new possibilities for future environmental protection,
ecological monitoring, scientific expeditions, and innovative
management of protected areas.
"ZTE is actively engaging in biodiversity protection initiatives
worldwide," Ms. Chen stated. "In Austria, we partnered with
Drei Austria and IoT40 on the 5G
Bee-o-Meter project to enhance the survival environment for bees.
In Sichuan Province, China, we
have rolled out Panda's Coming, the world's first panda protection
5G Messaging application to aid in habitat conservation and the
daily work of rangers. Furthermore, as one of the first ITU P2C
Champions, ZTE is dedicated to promoting digital transformation and
meaningful connectivity in least developed countries (LDCs),
landlocked developing countries (LLDCs), and small island
developing states (SIDS), helping to bridge the global digital
divide."
Additionally, Summer Chen was
invited to attend the "SDG Digital GameChangers Award Ceremony" and
"SDG Digital Debrief Session: Moving the Mission Forward". During
these events, she further shared ZTE's initiatives in leading
digital transformation worldwide. One notable initiative is ZTE's
recent collaboration with Orange Liberia to successfully complete
its first rural network project, "Enhance Rural Area". This project
has established 128 Rural EcoSites in Liberia, providing low-cost, easy-to-deploy
and environmentally friendly (solar-powered) network services to
locals, and effectively addressing connectivity issues in remote
areas where conventional network solutions failed. As a result,
over 580,000 rural users now benefit from enhanced digital,
financial, and energy services, laying a solid foundation for the
digital future of Liberia and
Africa as a whole.
As a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the
Global Electronics Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), ZTE remains
committed to its vision "To Enable Connectivity and Trust
Everywhere". The company strives to bridge the global digital
divide by upholding the principle of Tech for All and driving
digital innovations, thereby contributing new momentum toward
achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
