China Tower Corp

China Tower has joined the GSMA as a new member, bringing the world's largest telecommunications tower company into the global industry association's ecosystem. The company recently completed a national upgrade in China, converting its 5.6 million base stations and 2.1 million tower sites into intelligent edge-computing hubs for the AI era. China Tower's membership builds momentum behind the GSMA Tower Forum, a new initiative that convenes mobile network operators and tower companies to collaborate on energy efficiency, policy, permitting, and technology evolution. The forum is structured around knowledge sharing, industry outreach, advocacy, and technology and innovation, covering research, benchmarking, and engagement on sustainability, energy, and policy. China Tower Chairman Zhang Zhiyong said the company stands ready to deepen cooperation with global partners in technological innovation, standard-setting, and the integration of digital and real economies through the forum.
