ZTE's RCS solution enables telecommunication carriers to build a diverse range of innovative and compelling digital services including multi-user voice and video calls, multimedia messaging and social networking.

'ZTE is committed to work with the industry partners to drive standardization, and deploy RCS technology for digital transformation.'

ZTE's world-class capabilities in telecommunications networks and VoLTE (voice over LTE) provide a strong platform for the company's leadership in RCS technology. With rising demand for social networking services across the world, ZTE's RCS solution supports carriers in developing innovative new communication services including Smart Home, Enterprise OA and Smart City. RCS technology provides carriers with an integrated gateway to optimize their service deployments, marketing and operations, and meet growing competition from OTT applications.

ZTE helped China Mobile build the world's largest vIMS based RCS network, with a capacity to serve 100 million users. New RCS services are in pre-commercial launch in more than 25 provinces in China.
