ZTE Helps China Mobile Launch First 5G Medical Edge Cloud Platform

ZTE and China Mobile have launched China’s first 5G medical edge cloud platform. As a new-generation 5G infrastructure for medical industry customers, it is the industry’s first 5G intelligent edge cloud platform, employing a cloud-network integrated architecture.

Integrating 5G slicing and edge computing technologies, the platform can satisfy the core capability requirements for connection, computing, storage, middle platform, service and security in the medical industry in a one-stop manner, thereby providing manageable and controllable cloud-network integrated services. The 5G edge cloud deployed on the user side can effectively shorten the network route and greatly reduce network delay. In addition, the connection guarantees capability of the 5G private network enables medical applications, such as remote diagnosis and surgery, AI assistance, mobile medicine and surgical instruction.

Moreover, the 5G medical edge cloud can effectively implement big data management of medical health care. The medical application systems on the edge cloud can be quickly interconnected, with their data being calculated, stored, and managed flexibly as required. The 5G medical edge cloud can also significantly reduce the cost of medical informatization by means of the unified cloud-based deployment of various  medical application systems.

The open architecture can provide various applications with standard interfaces and provide hospitals with integrated smart medical solutions, thus building a smart medical application ecosystem. To date, nearly 100 Internet medical applications have been deployed on China Mobile’s 5G medical edge cloud, making it convenient for patients to access various medical services.
