[Barcelona, Spain, March 3, 2025] At MWC Barcelona 2025, George Gao, President of Huawei Cloud Core Network Product Line, announced the launch of the industry’s first AI Core Network, marking a transformative leap from AI-powered to AI-native infrastructure. The AI Core Network will be an autonomous generative network capable of self-optimization and self-O&M, enabling the whole industry to evolve from connecting everything intelligently to seamlessly interlinking AI-driven agents, terminals, and scenarios.

As AI reshapes industries, intelligent terminals and services demand core networks that transcend traditional connectivity. To address this issue, the core network need deliver a future-proof foundation with integrated capabilities in connectivity, computing, perception, memory, and digital twin simulation. Designed to serve individuals, households, enterprises, and AI agents, it addresses multi-dimensional demands for personalized intelligent services.
Huawei’s AI Core Network rollout will come true in two phases:
- 5G-A Intelligent Core (phase 1): The network integrates AI agents to enhance intelligent network capabilities. Additionally, by introducing computing-network convergence, the network can boost intelligent computing capabilities for terminals while overcoming their computing power and energy efficiency bottlenecks.
- Agentic Core (phase 2): Leveraging the AI-based architecture (AIBA), the network will be an autonomous generative network capable of self-optimization and self-O&M, dynamically adapting to diverse real-time service needs.
Gao emphasized that Huawei’s 5G-A Intelligent Core equips operators with three types of AI agents to claim three intelligence entries and monetize intelligence. In addition, Huawei is building intelligent distributed computing infrastructure featuring low-latency and high-bandwidth, to provide computing and network convergence services to terminals and industries.
- Calling agents process multi-modal inputs (voice, video, gestures) to transform traditional dial pads into intent-driven task managers, facilitating one-stop closed-loop of service tasks and capturing service entry opportunities.
- Personalized experience agents dynamically schedule network resources for differentiated user experiences, redefining user experience, providing operators with an entry to experience monetization.
- Digital expert agents resolve complaints and alarms via natural language interaction and AI inference, streamlining O&M through a unified portal.
To further empower these agents, Huawei also introduces Telco Intelligent Converged Cloud, upgrading traditional infrastructure with unified hardware management. It introduces an AI engine, and builds the FusionMind AI enablement platform, to deliver robust computing resources and high-performance training/inference services, ensuring powerful intelligence.
In his speech, Gao stated, “The AI core network will become a critical telecom infrastructure in the mobile AI era. Huawei will work with telecom operators and industry partners to seize the opportunities of digital and intelligent development, go beyond from introducing AI to the core network to leveraging AI and the core network for innovative services, and accelerate the transition to an intelligent world.”
MWC Barcelona 2025 will be 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.
