• ZTE's 5G-A technology enables the first commercial wireless live streaming of a national event at SUKMA 2024
• ZTE's 5G-A minimalist private network delivers ultra-high performance, supporting multiple Ultra-HD live broadcasts with each link exceeding 2Gbps uplink data rate
• End-to-end transmission latency is kept within 100 milliseconds, ensuring seamless transitions between wireless and wired camera feeds

Sarawak, Malaysia, 26 August 2024 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, provided its 5G-Advanced (5G-A) minimalist private network wireless live broadcasting solution for the 2024 Malaysia Games (SUKMA 2024), which gained recognition and attention from multiple parties. 

The grand opening ceremony of SUKMA 2024 took place on August 17, 2024, at Stadium Sarawak, marking a significant milestone in Malaysia's broadcasting history. ZTE, CelcomDigi and U Mobile collaborated to deliver a 5G-A wireless Ultra-High Definition (UHD) live broadcast solution. This groundbreaking broadcast utilized SumaVision¡¯s shallow compression codec technology to provide a high-quality live stream of the event through Radio Television Malaysia (RTM). 

Harnessing the large bandwidth and low latency of millimeter wave technology, this 5G-A solution enabled the use of wireless live cameras, allowing photographers to move freely within the stadium and easily capture the best video angles. The integration of ZTE's NodeEngine solution further enhanced the system by creating a highly reliable, low-latency minimalist private network. This significantly improved network deployment efficiency and reduced end-to-end latency, ensuring seamless switching between wired and 5G-A powered camera feeds. 

At Stadium Sarawak, ZTE introduced the industry's first millimeter wave AAU, capable of supporting 1.6GHz bandwidth, providing comprehensive and high-quality 5G-A signal coverage. The 5G-A powered cameras could be deployed at any point throughout the stadium, with audio and video streams transmitted directly to the RTM OB-Van via the base station, bypassing the public network. Post-testing results demonstrated that the 5G-A minimalist private network was capable of supporting multiple Ultra-HD live broadcasts with each link exceeding a 2Gbps uplink data rate. The end-to-end transmission latency was kept within 100 milliseconds to ensure seamless transitions between wireless and wired camera feeds.

The successful commercialization of the 5G-A minimalist private network marks the first time that 5G-A wireless technology has been applied to the live broadcasting of a major international event. This achievement underscores the potential of 5G-A to revolutionize the development of the new media industry and offers a highly flexible and reliable solution for future live broadcasting endeavors.
