[Barcelona, Spain, March 5, 2025] At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025, Huawei held its Mobile AI Network Summit. In attendance were a broad lineup of partners, including representatives from leading analytics firms Ookla, Omdia, and ABI, AI technology developers like Zhipu AI, and AI device innovators like SHARGE. Together, they discussed a long list of topics of industry-wide interest, from mobile AI industry upgrades to network construction best practices. They proposed the construction of a mobile AI infrastructure to accelerate network evolution to 5G-Advanced and high-level autonomy for the mobile AI era.
Dang Wenshuan, Huawei’s Chief Strategy Architect, speaking at the summit
Huawei Chief Strategic Architect Dang Wenshuan presented insights into the global AI boom. AI is creating business opportunities in many domains, from full-process experience operations to AI New Calling, AI homes, and services and products for SMEs. According to Dang, “to make the most of mobile AI, 5G-Advanced is essential for creating new business value for operators and their vertical partners.” Networks are improving quickly to support 10 times faster uplink speed and 10 dB better coverage with 10 times higher spectral efficiency. This means networks will become a strong foundation for the universal accessibility of AI. Conversely, AI has massive potential for improving networks. AI can make networks more productive by increasing O&M efficiency by 30%, lowering energy consumption by 20%, and enabling the service assurance rate to exceed 90%.
Representatives from Ookla, Omdia, ABI, Zhipu AI, and SHARGE affirmed that the rapid progress of large language models attributes to the boom in mobile AI. The increasing popularity of AI phones, glasses, and many other intelligent devices is making multimodal interaction more available and useful. This amplifies the importance of real-time mobile connections and sets the stage for drastic data traffic increases in networks. For operators, this means new opportunities for business monetization and new tests for their mobile networks in uplink bandwidth, latency, and seamless coverage across indoor and outdoor areas. Networks are becoming increasingly complex as the mobile AI era fast approaches, so mobile operators share a common goal of using large language models, digital twins, and other cutting-edge technologies to develop agents for greater network productivity.
Operator guests shared the success stories of 5G construction and network architecture upgrade. They discussed spectrum convergence, multi-antenna improvement, and SA architecture evolution for rapid implementation of 5G across all bands. These innovations address the user experience requirements of diverse mobile AI services, while enabling lower energy consumption. By making full use of the respective strengths of AI and mobile networks, intelligent networks can achieve deterministic service experience and high-level network autonomy through greater human-machine collaboration. This is conducive to improving user experience and making O&M more efficient.
At this summit, Huawei highlighted two directions for adapting to the mobile AI era. To help operators improve networks to make the most of the AI boom, Huawei offers next-generation GigaGreen, GigaBand, and GigaSpot solutions that feature stronger frequency aggregation. These solutions enable operators to simplify network deployment for flexible network capacity increase and superior ubiquitous connection experiences while realizing green sustainability. To help operators maximize the benefits of AI for stronger networks and quickly advance to AN L4, Huawei has introduced an agentic choreography pipeline to its agent-based digital-person team. The agentic choreography pipeline enables elaborate radio resource orchestration to guarantee differentiated experience, and supports multi-agent orchestration for automated complex task execution. Furthermore, working with the RAN Intelligent Service Engine (RISE), which is an intelligent capability openness platform that is first launched by Huawei, the agentic choreography pipeline provides operators with end-to-end automation for orchestrating customer-oriented provisioning for new services, thereby accelerating their rollout in the market. This enables operators to make networks even more intelligent, flexible, and efficient.
MWC Barcelona 2025 is held from March 3 to March 6 in Barcelona, Spain. During the event, Huawei will showcase its latest products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.
In 2025, commercial 5G-Advanced deployment will accelerate, and AI will help carriers reshape business, infrastructure, and O&M. Huawei is actively working with carriers and partners around the world to accelerate the transition towards an intelligent world.
