MWC 2025: Revolutionizing Communication with 5G-Advanced and AI Synergy

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 set to take place from March 3 to 6 in Barcelona, Spain, is poised to showcase a significant advancement in mobile communication— the fusion of 5G-Advanced (5G-A) technology and artificial intelligence (AI). This groundbreaking integration is not merely an upgrade; it's a transformative step that signifies a new era in the communication landscape.

In 2024, we witnessed the first commercial adoption of 5G-A, notably in regions like China, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific. This new generation of technology is designed to bring intelligent solutions to telecom networks, thereby optimizing operational efficiency and enhancing user experiences. As we enter 2025, the 5G-A intelligent core network is set to implement three critical forms of intelligence: service intelligence, network intelligence, and operational management (OM) intelligence. These innovative features will provide telecom operators with strategic advantages in the AI-driven landscape.

Transformative Services Through Service Intelligence

One of the most prominent offerings is the innovative service intelligence, which introduces intelligent features such as the New Calling service. This service incorporates an intelligent calling agent that allows users to enjoy ultra-HD, interactive audio and video call experiences. By harnessing the immense computing power and bandwidth of the 5G-A network, the integration of AI provides a seamless and engaging calling experience while simultaneously helping businesses cut costs and improve efficiency.

A notable case study is China Mobile, which has incorporated this technology across its entire network. More than 40 million users in China now benefit from this elevated calling experience, underscoring the transformative potential of 5G-A technology in everyday communication.

Enhancing Home Services Through AI

Another remarkable innovation is the AI Home Hub, which merges AI capabilities with computing power to deliver comprehensive home services. Launched commercially in Beijing and Jilin in 2024, the AI Home Hub is set to expand to over 20 provinces in China by 2025, aiming to bring advanced technology into thousands of households. This service offers a broad spectrum of home utilities, enabled through continuous advancements in AI and network capabilities.

Advancing Network Intelligence

The second pillar of 5G-A is network intelligence. Utilizing the NWDAF-based intelligence plane, operators can enhance user interaction and support through real-time analysis of user experience data. This feature dramatically improves network resource usage by dynamically allocating resources and streamlining experience-related operations.

Specific solutions, such as the Intelligent Personalized Experience (IPE) and MyLogo service— which provides a designated service entry point at the top of the screen— have already been launched commercially in several Chinese provinces and are anticipated to become nationally available in 2025. These innovations pave the way for improved experiences and monetization strategies tailored specifically to user preferences, further enhancing the personalized mobile service offering.

Intelligent Operational Management

The third intelligence type being introduced is the new OM intelligence that fundamentally reshapes management modes. By integrating the innovative MDAF component, Huawei aims to streamline the operational management process into a unified portal. This implementation has already helped various telecom operators save significant operational costs and push towards the creation of Level 4 (L4) autonomous networks. For instance, by integrating this new component into the alarm and complaint handling processes, one operator in China managed to save over CNY 10 million.

MWC 2025 promises to be a landmark event that highlights the latest innovations in the 5G-A intelligent core network space. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness firsthand the groundbreaking products and solutions showcased by Huawei, which are designed to accelerate the development and commercialization of an intelligent future.

In conclusion, the convergence of 5G-Advanced and AI at MWC 2025 heralds a new chapter in mobile communication, providing telecom operators with the tools to redefine their operational strategies and enhance user experience significantly. Join us in Barcelona as we embark on this exciting journey into the future of intelligent connectivity.
