Huawei Unveils AI-Centric Network Solutions at MWC 2025

During the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Yang Chaobin, Chair of the Board and CEO of Huawei's ICT Business Group, introduced the company's new AI-Centric Network solution. This innovative network transformation aims to enable operators to seize emerging opportunities facilitated by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). The shift towards low-cost, high-quality, and open AI models is anticipated to drive a wave of innovation, propelling society towards a smarter future.

Transforming Telecommunications with AI

Yang emphasized that AI advancements will reshape society across three significant dimensions: offering personalized experiences for consumers, enabling intelligent collaboration within organizations, and establishing a more inclusive intelligence framework for all. For the telecommunications industry, the burgeoning technology landscape presents unprecedented growth opportunities but also challenges due to elevated demands on network infrastructures.

To capitalize on these prospects, operators must make fundamental progress in various areas, including network bandwidth, latency, coverage, and operational efficiency. "Our AI-Centric Network solution is engineered to meet these challenges," Yang asserted. He highlighted how this system will revolutionize network capabilities, ensuring comprehensive connectivity across domains and shifting operations toward application-oriented standards, thereby redefining telecommunications services and business models.

A Four-Layered Approach to AI-Centric Networks

Yang elaborated on the future challenges facing operators and how Huawei's solution is designed to prepare them for a surge in AI-driven applications:

1. Universal Connectivity: The deeper integration of AI with networking will enhance resource orchestration for routing and bandwidth management. This synergy will ensure seamless access to smart applications, facilitating ultra-high upstream and downstream connections with robust Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
2. Application-Oriented Operations and Maintenance: The evolution of AI applications will create intricate service scenarios with diverse experience requirements. This necessitates a paradigm shift from traditional resource-oriented operations to a more application-centric approach. Huawei's Telecom Foundation model supports predictive and proactive maintenance, facilitating knowledge-based experience optimization at the application level and allowing for more tailored operational processes. This transformation is poised to improve network operational efficiency and elevate user experiences.
3. Enhanced AI Services for Various Use Cases: AI-centric networks can provide customized experiences tailored to specific usage scenarios by precisely managing bandwidth, latency, and reliability. On an organizational level, these networks can alleviate capacity bottlenecks and response times for person-to-person interactions while evolving to support more sophisticated person-to-agent and agent-to-agent communications. Societally, such networks will achieve ubiquitous connectivity, boosting the integration of AI in vital public services like education and healthcare, fundamentally enhancing community value.
4. Innovative Business Models: Diverse experience requirements will allow operators to explore new business models that monetize a broader range of metrics. AI-centric networks will enable operators to step beyond traditional traffic-based monetization, allowing for the monetization of experiences themselves. This shift will unlock the full potential of connectivity and generate new revenue streams.

Call to Action for Collaboration

In closing, Yang Chaobin called on the telecommunications industry to unite in collaborative efforts. By showcasing network capabilities, partnering across different sectors, and engaging in scenario-focused innovations, the industry can fully leverage new growth opportunities in the AI era, ultimately bringing the world closer to a smarter, brighter future.

MWC Barcelona 2025 takes place from March 3 to 6, highlighting Huawei's latest products and solutions at booth 1H50 in Pavilion 1 of Fira Gran Via. The commercial implementation of 5G-Advanced will accelerate in 2025, with AI playing a crucial role in restructuring operators' businesses, infrastructures, and operations. Huawei is actively working with global operators and partners to hasten the transition towards an intelligent world.
