Home » Top stories » Huawei Highlights 5G-A and AI Synergy at MWC Shanghai
Huawei announced key advancements in 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and AI integration at the Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) Top Talk Summit, held during MWC Shanghai 2025.
Over 150 guests, including telecom executives, AI innovators, and academic leaders, attended the event to explore the convergence of ICT and AI technologies.
David Wang, Huawei's Executive Director of the Board, opened the summit by emphasizing the transformative role of mobile AI. He noted three major shifts: Mobile devices are evolving beyond apps with AI agents.
AI-IoT convergence is creating a new portal to the intelligent world.
AI is optimizing networks across spectrum, energy, and O&M efficiency.
Wang urged the industry to collaborate and unlock the full potential of 5G-A. He revealed that Huawei and partners are focusing on five key areas to drive growth: large uplink bandwidth, robust device ecosystems, multimodal services, all-scenario IoT, and diverse business models.
The event highlighted how 5G-A is reshaping industries. In manufacturing, 5G-A enables real-time embodied AI for sensing and decision-making. In logistics, AI-assisted route planning and wide 5G-A coverage are improving delivery efficiency and reducing costs.
Technologically, 5G-A must evolve from a basic connectivity tool to an experience platform. It needs to support real-time interactions among billions of mobile AI agents.
Huawei reported that premium user experiences are driving 5G-A monetization. Applications like cloud gaming and immersive sports streaming benefit from low latency and high bandwidth, encouraging consumers to pay for guaranteed service quality.
Li Peng, Huawei's Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales & Service, concluded the summit by stating that 5G-A will bring stronger capabilities. It will help carriers monetize not just traffic, but also user experience.
He explained that AI agents are being used to deliver targeted services across user segments. These include individuals, homes, industries, and mobile users.
To achieve this, Huawei called for new AI-centric network standards. These would enable lossless 5G-A networks that support elastic scheduling and reliable, on-demand cloud-edge-device connections.
MWC Shanghai 2025 was held from June 18 to June 20 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Huawei showcased its latest solutions in Hall N1.
The company reported that the commercial adoption of 5G-A is accelerating in 2025. It continues to work with global carriers and experts to use AI innovations for transforming telecom services, infrastructure, and business models.

PUTRAJAYA, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2025 – Malaysia today launched the Startup ASEAN platform, marking the full-scale rollout of a bold, unified digital gateway to connect and empower startups across ASEAN. Spearheaded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) and executed by Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd (Cradle), the platform's regional launch underscores Malaysia's commitment under its 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship to fostering inclusive innovation and economic dynamism across the region. Unlike the earlier pre-launch phase, this official launch represents a fully operational rollout, equipped with critical capabilities to serve the ASEAN innovation ecosystem. The Startup ASEAN platform is designed as a comprehensive one-stop hub, offering startups direct access to regional market opportunities, funding, investor networks, talent development and ecosystem insights. YB Tuan Chang Lih Kang, Minister of MOSTI, said 'Malaysia is honored to chair ASEAN in 2025 and take the lead in building a truly integrated and empowered regional startup ecosystem. The Startup ASEAN platform is more than a digital gateway, it is a strategic enabler designed through collaboration with all ASEAN Member States to address fragmented access to market, funding, talent and data. ADVERTISEMENT This launch marks the first major deliverable under the ASEAN Startup Technology Ignite 2025, and I would like to commend Cradle for its focal role in driving this initiative with all other ASEAN Member States. Through this platform, we are not only unlocking new opportunities for collaboration across region but also creating greater access for Malaysian startups to expand, scale and thrive in ASEAN and beyond,' continued YB Chang. 'Today we witness the official launch of Startup ASEAN-a transformative initiative designed to serve as the centralised hub for all startups across our region. By seamlessly connecting entrepreneurs, investors, government institutions, and ecosystem builders across our Member States, this platform embodies ASEAN's unwavering commitment to deepening regional integration while unlocking unprecedented opportunities through technology and innovation,' said H.E. Dr. Kao Kim Hourn, Secretary-General of ASEAN. Norman Matthieu Vanhaecke, Group Chief Executive Officer of Cradle, emphasised 'Cradle is proud to lead this effort and contribute to ASEAN's growth through innovation. The platform is beyond technology itself. It is about creating opportunities within the startup ecosystem, strengthening partnerships and unlocking the potential of our ASEAN startups. In addition to the regional database, the platform will host regional programmes aimed at strengthening cross-border collaboration among all ASEAN Member States and dialogue partners such as South Korea and China,' continued Norman. The ASEAN Startup Initiative, approved in 2023, appointed Cradle under MOSTI's mandate to lead its implementation. The initiative focuses on developing startup friendly policies, enhancing ecosystem readiness and driving impactful regional programmes and partnerships. As ASEAN Chair in 2025, Malaysia's leadership under the ASEAN Technology Startup Ignite programme signals a strategic move to position the country as a regional innovation hub. The multi-phased implementation includes: Phase 1, 2024: Development and pre-launch of the Startup ASEAN platform, Phase 2, 2025: Launch of Startup ASEAN platform, ASEAN startup programmes, capacity-building efforts and Startup ASEAN Summit Phase 3, 2026 onwards: Establishment of the ASEAN Centre of Excellence for early-stage startups. The hybrid launch event featured an immersive Startup ASEAN video tour, highlighting unique startup success stories and cultural diversity from all member states. Coinciding with the launch, Cradle hosted the regional market access session, ASEAN CrossConnect, matching 10 successful global mentors from ASEAN countries with startups from all over the region.

Huawei Reveals Telecom Growth Strategy at MWC Shanghai
Home » Smart Sectors » Telecom » Huawei Reveals Telecom Growth Strategy at MWC Shanghai During MWC Shanghai 2025, Huawei revealed four strategic pathways to support telecom growth amid increasing market maturity and stagnating revenue. Eric Xu, Huawei's Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman, addressed industry leaders in a keynote speech. He acknowledged that while telecom has grown rapidly for decades, the sector now faces slower development as basic consumer needs are largely met in major markets. Xu outlined four approaches to drive sustainable growth. • He highlighted high-value user segments, such as food delivery riders and livestreamers. For example, delivery riders grew from 30 million in 2020 to 70 million in 2024, with projections reaching 160 million by 2030. These users consume more data and minutes, with ARPU 1.6 times higher than average. • Xu reported that livestreaming professionals now number around 50 million, up from 10 million in 2022, and may reach 130 million by 2030. These users consume five times more data and produce four times more ARPU than average. Next, Xu addressed video consumption. He noted that although video accounts for 50% of mobile traffic, high-definition video usage remains low. In top-tier Chinese cities, only 22% of mobile video traffic is 1080p or higher. He called for ecosystem collaboration with content providers, device makers, and equipment vendors to overcome pricing and technical barriers. Xu also discussed 5G-connected vehicles. He noted that only 30% of new cars sold in China by 2025 are expected to support 5G. He urged industry players to work together to reduce costs, especially those related to IP rights and T-Box components. He proposed a dual-connectivity model B2C for cockpit functions and B2B for T-Box systems. He emphasized that autonomous vehicles must operate independently without network reliance. Lastly, Xu revealed potential in expanding Fiber to the Room (FTTR) to small and micro businesses. He said over 500 million such businesses worldwide face challenges like poor Wi-Fi and limited connectivity. FTTR, already used by 75 million in China, could meet these needs. In contrast, only 500,000 FTTR users exist globally outside China. Xu concluded by emphasizing tailored strategies: each carrier must identify its own path based on unique market and competitive conditions. He stated that Huawei is ready to support carriers in building long-term, sustainable growth strategies.
