[Barcelona, Spain, March 1, 2026] During MWC 2026 Barcelona, Huawei is unveiling a new solution for core network intelligence to the industry.
Huawei’s current core network automation solution already delivers self-closed-loop capabilities in two key areas: fault management and change management. It is now commercially deployed across 14 leading operator networks worldwide. The next-generation solution will help operators evolve from scenario-specific automation to full core network autonomy, laying a solid foundation for 6G core network development.
With the new solution, the system prioritizes faults based on severity. For minor faults, it automatically provides root cause analysis and recovery suggestions. For major faults that impact services and traditionally take significant time to resolve, the system intelligently reroutes traffic to available service paths to restore connectivity first. This approach has slashed the average service recovery time from 90 minutes down to just 15 minutes.
This new solution also accelerates network changes. By using foundation models to automatically generate configuration commands and validating them in a digital twin environment, the solution dramatically speeds up service rollouts. What once took hours can now be done in minutes, allowing operators to respond to market demands with unprecedented speed.
Network intelligence
Looking ahead to 6G, Huawei’s vision for core network O&M is centered on two key concepts: the self-healing network and the generative network.
Self-Healing Network: A built-in agent performs 24/7 health checks, predicts risks before they become faults, and can automatically isolate and resolve issues as they occur. This proactive approach keeps users unaware of underlying issues. It shifts O&M from a traditionally reactive model to one of proactive immunity, ensuring a continuous and stable service experience.
Generative Network: With a growing number of service agents demanding diverse network experiences, Huawei is moving beyond traditional manual planning and complex commands. The goal is an intent-driven network where resources are automatically generated and combined based on natural language requests. This allows the network to flexibly meet the unique needs of different services, enabling service deployment in minutes.
Looking forward, Huawei is committed to collaborating with global industry organizations and operators to explore how AI can drive both high stability and efficiency in core network O&M. The shared goal is to build fully autonomous core networks that provide always-on services, ensuring that intelligent technologies better serve people and society in a fully connected, intelligent world.
MWC Barcelona 2026 will be held from March 2 to March 5 in Barcelona, Spain. During the event, Huawei will showcase its latest products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.
The era of agentic networks is now approaching fast, and the commercial adoption of 5G-A at scale is gaining speed. Huawei is actively working with carriers and partners around the world to unleash the full potential of 5G-A and pave the way for the evolution to 6G. We are also creating AI-Centric Network solutions to enable intelligent services, networks, and network elements (NEs), speeding up the large-scale deployment of level-4 autonomous networks (AN L4), and using AI to upgrade our core business. Together with other industry players, we will create leading value-driven networks and AI computing backbones for a fully intelligent future.
