BARCELONA, Spain, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, together with China Unicom and YunHuan Technology, has been awarded the “Best Mobile Innovation for Cities” for their innovative “5G-A Smart City Low-Altitude Blood Delivery” project at the Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards during MWC Barcelona 2025. The award recognizes their joint efforts in pioneering the commercial deployment of 5G-A Integrated Sensing and Communication technology in urban blood delivery.
China Unicom, YunHuan Technology and ZTE win the GSMA GLOMO “Best Mobile Innovation for Cities” award
To address the challenges of traditional blood delivery, such as traffic congestion and delayed emergency response, the partners have implemented an innovative drone-based solution in Anyang City. The project covers a 1,200-square-kilometer urban airspace, featuring 10 delivery routes that extend over 15 kilometers and serve multiple hospitals across the city. With over 50 flights operating daily, it has become the industry’s largest low-altitude drone delivery network for medical supplies, transporting blood products, laboratory samples, pathological sections, emergency medicines, and surgical supplies.
Operational data demonstrates remarkable improvements, with the average blood delivery time reduced from 40 minutes to 15 minutes, representing a 60% efficiency increase. This improvement directly enhanced hospital emergency response, optimized surgery scheduling, and reduced blood wastage, resulting in a 20% decrease in hospital blood costs and 10% reduction in patient blood expenses, delivering significant medical-economic and social benefits.
The solution leverages 5G-A Integrated Sensing and Communication technology to provide capability of comprehensive communication support and safety sensing for drone operations. Network performance tests have proven the system’s capability to simultaneously monitor multiple drones’ precise positions and flight status with zero detection miss rate, validating the commercial value of 5G-A Integrated Sensing and Communication technology in low-altitude economics.
Looking ahead, the three partners will continue to expanding 5G-A applications in urban management and emergency response, driving the development of low-altitude economy and bringing new momentum to global smart city initiatives.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On March 2, 2025 (UTC/GMT +8 hours), the Leverage Conference officially commenced at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a global academic powerhouse. The Leverage Consulting’s strategic consulting team was invited to host the China Enterprise Strategic Innovation Global Forum (North America) as part of the 2025 conference. This prestigious event, focused on corporate strategic innovation and the evolution of positioning theory, has garnered widespread attention from various sectors.
Leverage Consulting founder Rongjun Yao delivered a keynote speech at MIT.
Bringing together world-class scholars, leading entrepreneurs, and prominent industry figures, the conference fostered in-depth dialogue on corporate strategic transformation in the digital economy era, exploring solutions for breaking through in global business competition.
The forum’s successful inauguration at MIT—a world-renowned hub for business academia—signifies the increasing recognition of China’s positioning theory and its innovative real-world applications. It also highlights the evolving global influence of Chinese corporate strategies.
Positioning Equation: From Theoretical Inheritance to Global Innovation
With China’s rapid economic rise in recent years, an increasing number of Chinese brands are stepping onto the global stage. However, globalization presents its own set of challenges—many companies grapple with unclear brand positioning and a lack of market competitiveness. The Leverage Consulting has pioneered the Positioning Equation, a strategic framework designed to help Chinese companies carve out a distinct positioning in the global market, ultimately maximizing their brand value.
During the forum, the Leverage Consulting officially unveiled the Chinese Positioning Equation. As an original innovation rooted in positioning theory, this equation not only encapsulates the essence of Western management principles but also integrates Chinese insights and real-world expertise, forging a pioneering methodology for strategic positioning.
Rongjun Yao, Founder of the Leverage Consulting, explained: “The Positioning Equation emphasizes the synergy and alignment of strategies, campaigns, and operations, while also deconstructing and interconnecting the mindsets of consumers, entrepreneurs, and managers. This framework provides companies with robust strategic support in their journey toward globalization.”
At the forum, Rongjun Yao delivered a keynote speech titled “Transcending Operational Computing Power with Strategic Algorithms From Positioning Theory to Positioning Equation”. He highlighted that in today’s information-explosive and highly competitive market, traditional operational computing power are no longer sufficient for strategic positioning needs. The Positioning Equation, as an innovative strategic algorithm, enables companies to precisely grasp market trends and develop effective positioning strategies, helping them stand out in fierce competition.
Brands such as CHAGEE, Softide, recognized as billion-yuan brands, exemplify the successful application of the Positioning Equation. Through precise strategic positioning, these brands have achieved remarkable success in both domestic and international markets, and have successfully entered the global premium market. In his speech, Rongjun Yao shared these brands’ success stories, emphasizing: “In an era of homogeneous competition, when a consumer’s need arises, typically only two brands come to mind: one domestic brand and one foreign brand. This creates a binary choice that often shapes consumer preferences.”
Even before its official unveiling, the Positioning Equation had already captured the attention of the academic community. Its related research findings were published in the MIT Sloan Management Review and received authoritative endorsement from the China Management Science Society. This recognition not only affirms the academic value of the Positioning Equation but also underscores its practical contributions to Chinese companies’ strategic positioning on a global scale.
Rongjun Yao’s speech resonated strongly with attendees, who acknowledged that the Positioning Equation offers fresh perspectives and approaches for strategic positioning and provides robust theoretical support for companies striving for sustainable growth amid globalization.
Global Innovation: A Dialogue on the Future of Corporate Strategy
The forum also featured in-depth discussions with globally renowned professors from diverse fields, each bringing unique insights into innovation and strategic positioning.
Professor Neil Thompson of MIT delivered a presentation titled “AI and Data Value”, where he examined AI’s transformative impact on the strategy consulting industry. He discussed the competitive balance between established corporations and startups in leveraging data, emphasizing that AI’s rapid advancement is reshaping the landscape of strategy consulting. As Director of the FutureTech research project at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, Thompson stressed that effective utilization of data resources will be key for companies seeking a competitive edge in the future.
Another distinguished speaker, Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, CEO and publisher of MIT Technology Review, has successfully transformed the publication into a globally recognized multi-platform media brand. At the forum, she shared her expertise in corporate strategic transformation and trend evolution, emphasizing how global disruptive forces are reshaping corporate strategic positioning. She also highly praised the Positioning Equation, recognizing it as a groundbreaking innovation that provides strong theoretical support and practical guidance for corporate innovation.
In engaging discussions with these experts, Rongjun Yao elaborated on the core principles and real-world applications of the Positioning Equation, presenting a series of successful case studies spanning multiple industries. These cases demonstrated the equation’s effectiveness in refining strategic positioning and enhancing brand influence. The participating professors commended the Positioning Equation’s innovative approach and practical value, expressing optimism that more companies would adopt this framework to achieve greater success in the global market.
The Positioning Equation: Leading a Wave of Innovation
The forum received strong support from MIT and affiliated academic institutions, which expressed their commitment to continuing engagement with China’s corporate strategic innovations. Their goal is to contribute further expertise and insights to the evolution of global business strategy.
As globalization accelerates and market competition intensifies, Chinese companies face more opportunities and challenges. The successful hosting of this forum marks a significant breakthrough for Chinese companies in the field of global strategy. With its groundbreaking Positioning Equation, the Leverage Consulting is not only empowering Chinese brands in their international expansion but also introducing a fresh strategic framework that benefits companies worldwide. As Rongjun Yao stated: “In the future, more Chinese brands will go global, and more international brands will enter the Chinese market. The Positioning Equation by the Leverage Consulting will not only provide Chinese companies with strategic guidance for their global endeavors, but also provide valuable insights and support for the strategic breakthroughs of global companies.”

BARCELONA, Spain, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, announced that the AaaS Open Gateway solution, jointly developed by China Mobile, Alibaba Cloud and ZTE, was honored with the GSMA GLOMO “Open Gateway Challenge” award. This prestigious recognition signifies the large-scale commercial adoption of Open Gateway in key industry scenarios and underscores the global industry’s high regard for China Mobile’s collaborative efforts with its partners in advancing the GSMA Open Gateway initiative.
China Mobile, Alibaba Cloud and ZTE win the GSMA GLOMO “Open Gateway Challenge” award for capability exposure solution
China Mobile is one of the pioneering operators to join the GSMA Open Gateway global initiative. In recent years, it has actively championed the Open Gateway development philosophy, establishing the world’s largest Open Gateway platform. This platform not only empowers its own services but also continuously expands application scenarios, enriching the Open Gateway ecosystem. In collaboration with ZTE, China Mobile has developed the QoD (Quality on Demand) API based on CAMARA API standards, became the first to successfully pass 63 technical tests under the Open Gateway working group and achieve commercial deployment.
The capability exposure solution jointly developed by China Mobile, Alibaba Cloud and ZTE integrates the strengths of all parties across telecommunications and fintech. Leveraging China Mobile’s Department of Networks-operated CT middleware platform and its ‘QoS Acceleration Capability’, the solution ensures superior network quality for mobile payments. This collaboration is dedicated to delivering a more seamless, efficient, and innovative 5G service experience, redefining user engagement in the next-generation digital ecosystem.
Alipay, one of the world’s largest online payment platforms, integrates with China Mobile’s AaaS Open Gateway platform via Alibaba Cloud. When users access payment services in areas with weak network coverage, Alibaba Cloud leverages the API to dynamically enhance wireless network performance. This optimization reduces payment transaction time and decreases transaction failure rates, significantly enhancing the user payment experience.
Looking ahead, China Mobile will continue to collaborate with industry partners to contribute more advanced capability APIs and pioneering application scenarios. By driving the commercialization of 5G and accelerating the global adoption of the Open Gateway ecosystem, China Mobile remains committed to fostering innovation and shaping the future of intelligent connectivity on a global scale.
The Open Gateway initiative is a pivotal effort led by GSMA to drive the globalization of network capability exposure. As a universal open network API framework, it enables seamless and standardized access to carrier network capabilities for enterprises and developers worldwide. These functionalities are deployed through globally standardized APIs under the CAMARA framework—an open-source project jointly spearheaded by the Linux Foundation and GSMA, fostering innovation and interoperability across the global digital ecosystem.
