Huawei Drives 5G-A Monetization and AI Integration for Next-Gen Telecom Growth

Huawei Advances 5G-A and Scenario-Based AI at MWC Shanghai 2025

June 18, 2025 | Shanghai, China

At MWC Shanghai 2025, Huawei is presenting key developments in 5G Advanced (5G-A) experience monetization and AI-driven scenario-based services. The company's theme, "Accelerating the Intelligent World," highlights its commitment to partnering with global carriers and industry leaders to identify new growth paths centered on AI.

Focus Areas of Huawei's Latest Innovations

• Services: Huawei will disclose successful 5G-A monetization projects and AI-to-X applications developed with China's three main carriers. These projects demonstrate practical use cases where AI enhances network value and user experiences.
• Infrastructure: Presentations by carrier partners will cover their progress in building AI-centric networks. Huawei will also introduce a comprehensive AI Ultra-Broadband (AI UBB) solution, integrating computing power across all network layers—from home broadband to transport networks. This approach aims to advance network autonomy and improve AI application performance.
• Operations: Huawei and Chinese carriers will share best practices in intelligent wireless and home broadband operations, plus AI computing services for training and inference—critical for managing and optimizing AI workloads.

Commercial adoption of 5G-A is set to accelerate in China, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific throughout 2025. Carriers in these regions are actively exploring new monetization strategies for premium 5G experiences.

Industry Outlook and Growth Strategies

Eric Xu, Huawei's Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman, delivered a keynote outlining four growth pathways for the telecom sector:

• Responding to evolving user demands with high-potential services
• Enhancing HD video supply and consumption through ecosystem collaboration
• Integrating 5G into vehicles to drive intelligent connected car growth
• Expanding fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) solutions for micro and small businesses to leverage AI opportunities

Xu emphasized that each carrier's market, environment, and competition differ, so growth strategies must be customized. Huawei is committed to collaborating with carriers to identify and develop their unique growth paths.

5G-A: Expanding Access and Enabling Intelligent Transformation

China leads as a pioneer in 5G-A, with availability in over 300 cities and mobile plans offered in more than 30 provinces. The country has surpassed 10 million 5G-A users. Carriers in China and other regions are applying premium upgrade initiatives to unlock new revenue streams through experience monetization.

5G-A networks deliver ultra-fast connectivity that supports intelligent transformation across sectors including smart living, transportation, and manufacturing. The integration of AI is reshaping how people and organizations interact with technology and services.

Carriers and AI: New Opportunities Across Services and Markets

Carriers have unique advantages in cloud, networking, intelligence, and computing, positioning them well to adopt AI-driven applications. They are evolving from traditional service providers to offer personalized, integrated AI agents accessible anytime and anywhere.

In the smart home sector, carriers enable coordination among devices to improve user experience. In automotive, they combine AI agents with vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology to create new in-car services and monetization opportunities. For enterprise customers, enhanced computing-network services and model-based solutions empower production and operations.
