Huawei Technologies launched an AI-Centric Network solution during the opening of the 2025 Mobile World Conference (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain.
Mr. Yang Chaobin, Huawei’s Director of the Board and CEO of the ICT Business Group, said the emergence of high-quality, low-cost, and open-source AI models would give rise to a wide range of new innovation in applications and accelerate the advent of an intelligent world.
Mr. Yang was speaking at the Huawei Product & Solution Launch during MWC Barcelona 2025 in Spain.
MWC Barcelona 2025 opened on March 3 and is expected to end on March 6, 2025, on the theme “Converge. Connect. Create.
It is the global intersection of social policy, business leadership, and digital innovation.
He said essentially, AI-centric networks would allow carriers to go beyond traditional traffic-based monetization and start monetizing experience itself.
“This will unleash the full potential of connectivity and open up new revenue streams,” he added.
The director said advancements in AI would transform society at three levels, and they would enable a truly individualized experience for consumers, drive intelligent collaboration in organizations, and lay the groundwork for more inclusive intelligence for everyone.
He said that as for the ICT industry, while evolving technology and a more diverse range of application scenarios would create unprecedented growth opportunities, they would also raise the bar for network infrastructure.
To make the most of these opportunities, carriers need to make sweeping breakthroughs in network bandwidth, latency, coverage, and Operations and Maintenance (O&M).
He said Huawei’s AI-Centric Network solution was designed to address these needs.
“It revolutionizes network capabilities to enable all-domain connectivity. It will power a shift towards application-oriented O&M and will reshape telecom service and business models to take full advantage of new opportunities presented by AI,” Mr. Yang said.
He said AI-centric networks had a four-layered approach.
Mr. Yang explained Huawei’s solution could help carriers better prepare for a surge of new AI-powered applications since they faced some challenges moving forward with all-domain connectivity.
“With more in-depth collaboration between AI and networks, carriers will be able to optimize resource orchestration for routing, bandwidth, and so on,” he said.
This will provide intelligent applications with universal network access, ultra-high uplink and downlink, and service-level agreement (SLA) assurance.
The director said with application-oriented O&M, advances in AI applications would give rise to more complex service scenarios and massively diverse experience requirements.
This will necessitate a shift from traditional, resource-oriented network O&M to a more application-oriented approach.
He said Huawei’s Telecom Foundation Model supported predictive and proactive O&M, experience optimization based on application-level awareness, and tailored, more fine-grained operations.
“Carriers will be able to significantly enhance the efficiency of network O&M while taking user experience to entirely new levels,” he said.
On the Enhanced AI-to-X services, he said at the individual user level, AI-centric networks could deliver the right experience for different AI scenarios by assigning the exact levels of bandwidth, latency, and reliability needed.
“At the organizational level, they can break through bottlenecks in capacity and response times configured for person-to-person interactions, evolving networks to support person-to-agent and even agent-to-agent interactivity,” he said.
Mr. Yang said AI-centric networks would enable ubiquitous connectivity to speed up AI adoption in public services like education and healthcare, providing more inclusive value for communities around the world.
Innovative business models.
“We need to join hands and work together across the telecom industry,” Yang Chaobin added.
“By exposing network capabilities, collaborating with different industries, and engaging in scenario-specific innovation, we can make the most of new growth opportunities in the age of AI and bring the world one step closer to a brighter, more intelligent future,” he said
