Huawei leads innovation in AI optical networks and autonomous networks at MWC Barcelona 2025
At MWC Barcelona 2025, Huawei and industry leaders showcased significant advancements in network technologies designed for the AI era. Two major initiatives took centre stage: AI Optical Networks (AI ON) and Level 4 Autonomous Networks (AN). The Evolution Towards AI-Powered Networks Bob Chen, President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, proposed the evolution of optical networks towards AI Optical Network (AI ON), designed to provide 5A-quality connectivity as a foundation for AI growth and prosperity. The AI era, characterised by ubiquitous AI applications, computing power, and AI-native capabilities, demands networks that can sense service types, deliver differentiated connectivity, and ensure optimal service experiences. These networks must provide deterministic connectivity to support flexible computing power scheduling while integrating AI capabilities to enhance both service quality and network efficiency. Building on the target network framework for the AI era released in 2024, Huawei has collaborated with global customers to define the next-generation evolution of optical networks. The AI ON concept is characterised by five key features: Awareness: Future optical networks will accurately identify service types based on traffic patterns and flow directions, ensuring that bandwidth, latency, and reliability requirements are met. Always On Demand: Networks will provide real-time, differentiated connectivity tailored to specific service demands, such as offering a gaming user a three-hour 1 Gbps bandwidth package. Assurance: Optical networks will guarantee high-quality connectivity regardless of network changes or service fluctuations, ensuring deterministic latency and zero packet loss. Autonomous O&M: Moving beyond reactive maintenance, future networks will proactively identify and mitigate potential risks before they impact users. AI Native: Full-stack AI capabilities will be embedded across network terminals, devices, and management systems, accelerating network intelligence. 'L4 is ON' – Advancing Autonomous Networks In a complementary development on March 4, TM Forum hosted the Autonomous Networks (AN) Summit with the theme 'Advancing Autonomous Networks Level 4 Innovation and Commercialization.' Industry leaders from Telefonica, Orange, Telenor, Huawei, and other partners gathered to discuss and plan the development of Level 4 Autonomous Networks. The AN industry experienced rapid growth in 2024 with the release of the L4 industry blueprint and 20 high-value scenarios. Large model technology has shown early success in telecommunications applications, with several leading operators already reaching L3.5 in key scenarios such as fault management. With 2025 being a pivotal year for L4 commercialisation, the AN Mission Board has jointly launched the 'L4 is ON' initiative focusing on three key areas: Refining the L4 industry blueprint: Improving implementation timelines for high-value L4 scenarios and enhancing the target structure based on copilots and agents. Developing standardised L4 solution packages: Creating solution packages that include scenario requirements, key effectiveness indicators, ANL evaluation standards, and E2E solutions. Promoting innovation and commercialisation: Conducting AN-level assessments, accelerating application innovation, unlocking new value, and fostering a sustainable business cycle. Aaron Boasman-Patel, VP, Innovation at TM Forum, emphasized that Autonomous Networks will deliver 'a step-change in customer experience, business velocity, profitability and new services by unlocking the power of seamless end-to-end autonomous operations'. Dang Wenshuan, Huawei's Chief Strategy Architect, highlighted the importance of defining solution packages that serve as guides for implementing AN Level 4 from end to end for high-value scenarios, enabling efficient implementation and driving large-scale commercial adoption. Industry Collaboration for an Intelligent Future Industry leaders agree that achieving Level 4 Autonomous Networks requires concerted, long-term efforts across the industry. Technological innovation and real-world projects focusing on high-value scenarios are essential to create more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable network services. As Bob Chen noted, AI represents a transformative shift in human society, offering unprecedented opportunities for the ICT industry. Premium connectivity will be essential to seize these opportunities, with Huawei committed to collaborating with the industry to advance optical networks towards AI ON, deliver 5A-quality connectivity, and drive new growth. MWC Barcelona 2025 is being held from March 3 to March 6 in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei is showcasing 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, operations, and maintenance. Huawei continues to work actively with carriers and partners worldwide to accelerate the transition towards an intelligent world. For more information, please visit: Image Credit: Huawei

Huawei: Towards AI ON for New Growth in the AI Era
BARCELONA, Spain, March 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- During the MWC Barcelona 2025, Bob Chen, President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, proposed the evolution of optical networks towards AI Optical Network (AI ON) in the AI era. This transformation aims to provide 5A-quality connectivity, laying a robust foundation for AI growth and prosperity. The AI era is defined by three key characteristics: AI application is everywhere, AI computing power is everywhere, and AI native is everywhere. These trends demand networks that can sense service types, deliver differentiated connectivity, and ensure optimal service experiences. Additionally, networks must provide deterministic connectivity to support flexible and efficient computing power scheduling, while also integrating AI capabilities to enhance both service quality and network efficiency. Bob Chen emphasized that since the release of the target network for the AI era in 2024, Huawei has collaborated with global customers to drive continuous innovation. The next-generation evolution of optical networks, termed AI ON, is now clearer and is characterized by the following features: Awareness: In the past, optical networks did not sense service types. Future optical networks need to accurately identify service types based on traffic patterns and flow directions, ensuring that bandwidth, latency, and reliability requirements are met. This enables networks to better understand and adapt to service needs. Always On Demand: Unlike the past, where networks offered undifferentiated connectivity, future optical networks need to provide real-time, differentiated connectivity tailored to specific service demands. For instance, a gaming user can be offered a three-hour 1 Gbps bandwidth package. Assurance: In the past, many factors such as network congestion, fault, and service increase may degrade the connectivity quality. In the future, optical networks need to guarantee high-quality connectivity regardless of network changes or service fluctuations, ensuring deterministic latency and zero packet loss for all services. Autonomous O&M: In the past, network O&M was reactively performed after a fault occurred. Moving beyond the traditional mode of reactive maintenance, future networks need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks before they impact users, achieving self-healing and optimization. AI Native: Full-stack AI-native capabilities need to be embedded across network terminals, devices, and management systems, accelerating network intelligence. For example, AI computing power in ONTs/FTTRs will identify application types and enhance device performance using small models on terminals. In closing, Bob Chen remarked that the AI represents a transformative shift in human society, offering unprecedented opportunities for the ICT industry. Just as 5A signifies the highest service quality in industries like hospitality and tourism, premium connectivity will be essential to seize these opportunities. Huawei is committed to collaborating with the industry to advance optical networks towards AI ON, deliver 5A-quality connectivity, and drive new growth in the AI era.
