Introduction
At the recent MWC Barcelona 2025, Yang Chaobin, the Director of the Board and CEO of Huawei's ICT Business Group, unveiled the company's innovative AI-Centric Network solution. This technology aims to reshape the telecommunications landscape, enabling operators to harness the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) within their networks.
The Vision for AI-Centric Networks
Yang emphasized that advancements in AI will transform telecommunications at multiple levels. The introduction of high-quality, cost-effective, and open AI models is anticipated to pave the way for various innovative applications, accelerating the transition to an intelligent world. In the realm of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the growing diversity of application scenarios presents both significant growth opportunities and increased demands on network infrastructure.
To effectively capitalize on these opportunities, telecom operators must focus on essential improvements in bandwidth, latency, coverage, as well as operations and maintenance (O&M) of their networks. "Huawei's AI-Centric Network solution is tailored to meet these critical needs", Yang stated, underscoring the solution's capability to radically enhance network operations for application-oriented management and transform telecom services.
Addressing Operator Challenges
Yang highlighted key challenges that telecom operators face as they adapt to the evolving landscape fueled by AI-driven applications. The AI-Centric Network seeks to provide robust solutions to help operators manage new demands effectively. Here’s how:
1.
Connecting All Domains: By strengthening collaboration between AI systems and networks, telecom operators can optimize resource orchestration for routing, bandwidth, and other needs. AI applications will gain universal access to networks, ensuring high uplink and downlink speeds and guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs).
2.
Application-Focused Operations and Maintenance: As AI applications evolve, they introduce complex service scenarios that demand a shift from traditional resource-centric O&M toward an application-oriented model. Huawei’s Telecom Foundation promotes predictive and proactive O&M, enhancing operational efficiency while elevating user experiences to unprecedented levels.
3.
Extending AI-to-X Services: AI-focused networks can tailor services to various user scenarios by precisely allocating necessary bandwidth, latency, and reliability levels. On an organizational level, they can overcome capacity and responsiveness challenges, ensuring seamless interactions across various platforms, thus enhancing service delivery in sectors like education and healthcare.
4.
Innovative Business Models: The changing user experience expectations provide operators with opportunities to explore new business models. AI-based networks will enable operators to monetize beyond traditional traffic-based methods, paving the way for enhanced revenue streams by monetizing user experiences.
The Call for Collaboration
In conclusion, Yang Chaobin urged stakeholders across the telecommunications industry to unite and collaborate. By unlocking the potential of these networks and engaging in targeted innovations, substantial growth opportunities in the AI era can be realized, moving towards a brighter, smarter future.
The MWC Barcelona 2025 running from March 3-6 is an ideal platform for Huawei to showcase its solutions, located at booth 1H50 in Fira Gran Via 1. As the rollout of commercial 5G Advanced speeds up, AI is poised to significantly transform operators' business models, infrastructure, and overall operations.
