Huawei Unveils Transport Solutions Aimed at Digital Transformation and Mobility

At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026, Huawei presented its vision for the future of transport through a forum titled "Accelerating Transportation Digital Intelligence." The company gathered industry clients, partners, and experts to discuss innovative pathways for intelligent transport, introducing five groundbreaking solutions designed to enhance mobility and logistics in the intelligent world.

David Shi, Vice President of ICT Marketing and Solution Sales at Huawei, emphasized the company's commitment to collaboration and shared success, stating, "Huawei is dedicated to openness and is willing to work with clients and partners to establish a robust digital and intelligent foundation that connects passenger, freight, business, and information flows." He highlighted the integration of AI across various sectors, including railways, automotive, logistics, aviation, and ports, aimed at improving safety and operational efficiency.

One notable guest speaker, Dr. Reha Çetin, IT Director at Istanbul Airport and CEO of IST Systems, stressed the importance of digital transformation in aviation. As Europe's fastest-growing aviation hub, Istanbul continues to implement advanced digital technologies to enhance its airport services, leveraging Huawei’s expertise in ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

Zaiming Ren, Deputy General Manager at CRSC International, discussed how the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) enhances train traffic management efficiency and overall operational capabilities. He pointed out the necessity of AI as the nervous system for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), illustrating how it improves connections with infrastructure and reliability.

Carlos López Gutiérrez, Director of Transport for SICE, noted the collaboration between SICE and Huawei to utilize AI and edge computing in various transport scenarios. This partnership significantly enhances connectivity with transport infrastructure, increasing efficiency and reliability.

Port operations were also a highlighted area of discussion, with Yang Rong, Chief Engineer at Tianjin Port, emphasizing the critical role ports play in stabilizing economic cycles and ensuring continuity in industry and supply chains. He mentioned Tianjin Port's implementation of ICT integration such as 5G, AI, cloud computing, and autonomous driving to streamline its services.

Rachad Nassar, Huawei's Global Business Director for Intelligent Transportation, revealed that Huawei has created a comprehensive digital foundation for the global transportation industry. By deploying an integrated architecture for intelligent probing, connectivity, digital platforms, and applications, Huawei collaborates with ecosystem partners to launch five specialized solutions tailored for four key scenarios. These innovations offer substantial benefits, including:

Transportation Operations Coordination Center (TOCC)

Huawei introduced a solution based on ITS that enhances efficiency across multiple scenarios, including integrated transport monitoring, holiday travel support, and multimodal logistics. This sets a new standard for integrated urban transport management and control.

Next-Gen Bearer Network for Railways

Aimed at optimizing train operations, this solution provides reliable, high-bandwidth, and low-latency communication services, advancing the railway sector towards digitalization and smarter technologies.

Big Data Risk Management for Customs

In collaboration with partners, Huawei launched a solution that effectively integrates heterogeneous data from various sources and responds to risks within seconds, overcoming traditional issues like limited scope and manual dependencies.

Industry’s First Full-Function Planning Agent for Ports

Using reasoning chain technology (CoT), this planning agent coordinates the entire port operation process, drastically reducing planning time from hours to minutes while improving the efficiency of cargo movement.

The company also announced a landmark collaboration with Surge for the world's first deployment of a 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network at a frequency of 1.4 GHz for railways in Indonesia. This paradigm shift in railway communication promises to deliver next-generation connectivity along Indonesian railways, reaching national coverage.

Furthermore, Huawei highlighted significant breakthroughs collaboratively achieved with global partners, promoting a digital and intelligent transportation ecosystem. A prime example is the global Smart Port showcase developed in partnership with Shandong Port Group, integrating big data and advanced technologies for enhanced operations and intelligent planning.

Huawei’s involvement in the transport sector spans over 100 ports, 210 airports and airlines, 300 urban rail lines, 180,000 kilometers of railways, and over 200,000 kilometers of road networks globally. Looking ahead, Huawei remains focused on developing transport hubs, networks, and systems to build a digital foundation for mobility and logistics, aligning with its vision to integrate mobility and logistics into the intelligent world.
