ZTE Corporate Prepares for Industry Shift to 5G with Red Hat

To help network operators and enterprise clients in more than 160 countries navigate the ever-changing communications industry, ZTE sought to establish an integrated information and communications technology (ICT) platform.

ZTE can now better prepare for industry changes—particularly the shift to the new 5G telco standard—as well as take advantage of flexible technology and a collaborative DevOps approach to build and deploy products faster.
