Huawei Announces Key Developments in AI-Driven Mobile Networks at MWC Shanghai 2025

The Mobile AI Summit held by Huawei at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2025 gathered industry leaders, ecosystem partners, and researchers to brainstorm and reach a consensus on how artificial intelligence (AI) can be integrated into mobile networks to optimize and monetize user experiences. One of the key takeaways from the summit was the consensus that enhancing 5G-A uplink experiences is critical to the growth of mobile AI. Furthermore, the integration of networks and services is essential for effectively monetizing AI-powered mobile experiences.

During the summit, Wen Ku, president of the China Communications Standards Association (CCSA), articulated that "The integration of 5G-A and AI is a pivotal direction for the evolution of communications networks. Efforts should focus on establishing standards, building smart network integrations, and fostering cooperation through ecosystems to pioneer the future of mobile AI."

Industry pioneers from companies like Rokid, MiniMax, and Unitree Robotics discussed the potential of AI service providers to take the lead in differentiated competition and rapidly seize new market opportunities. AI agents are now expanding their capabilities to accommodate multimodal interactions, moving beyond just touch-screen engagements to include voice, video, and spatial computing. This trend has led to the achievement of higher audio-visual transmission speeds and model accuracy, utilizing 5G-A networks to reduce latency and enhance service delivery efficiency, ultimately enabling real-time interactions and high-quality AI video calls, which require uplink speeds of at least 20 Mb/s.

Prominent speakers, including Zhi-Quan Luo from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and representatives from Ookla, shared their findings on how AI can optimize network performance and offered insights into strategic plans for comprehensive AI technology utilization. AI is transforming the landscape of mobile networks and the entire telecommunications industry, helping operators achieve digital transformation through their networks, operations, and management.

This transformation is essential for providing differentiated services across various sectors and swiftly transitioning from operation monetization to enterprise monetization. The summit participants concurred that the key factors in assessing network capabilities for mobile AI include uplink performance, latency, and stability.

Huawei, a leading provider of 5G-A technology, introduced its GigaBand solution at the summit. This portfolio leverages Air Interface Resource Aggregation (AIR) and an optimization solver known as Optsolver, which orchestrates AIR to facilitate seamless development of 5G-A networks capable of supporting new AI-based services. This capability aids operators in constructing adaptive networks that ensure Service Level Agreements (SLAs) while being tailored for diverse, differentiated services such as live streaming, AI personal assistants, and cloud gaming.

For instance, the deployment of GigaBand in Hong Kong enabled the sharing of multiple 4G/5G bands for various service delivery purposes, leading to a remarkable increase in 5G throughput by as much as 2.28 times while maintaining a stable user experience akin to 4G. This progression is a significant advantage for operators striving to establish efficient, smart, and low-carbon 5G networks.

With ongoing innovations in 5G-A fueled by GigaBand and other cutting-edge technologies—coupled with cooperative ecosystem innovations across different industries—mobile AI is emerging as a new growth engine for revenue in the mobile industry, fostering a new digital lifestyle filled with ubiquitous smart services. The MWC Shanghai 2025 took place from June 18 to 20, showcasing Huawei's latest products and solutions at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). The deployment of 5G-Advanced technologies is expected to accelerate significantly throughout 2025 as Huawei collaborates with global operators, industry experts, and influential stakeholders to explore how AI innovations can reshape telecommunications services, infrastructure, and operations to generate new revenue streams and expedite the transition to a smart world.
