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.
