AI is transforming our world and the networks that tie it together. But each industry and each geography is affected differently.

We caught up with Hu Kun, ZTE president of Western Europe and CEO of ZTE Italy, at at the vendor’s Global Summit and Congress in Milan, to discuss how service providers and customers worldwide are dealing with these challenges, and how ZTE is helping them.

And Hu also discussed the increasing importance of the edge in the AI age, and the particular challenges European companies face around data sovereignty and sustainability.

To hear what this means for the core, cloud, the edge, and sustainability in general, watch the interview here.
