  • 5G-Advanced and AI Unite to Drive Intelligent IoT for Every Scenario

    5G-Advanced and AI Unite to Drive Intelligent IoT for Every Scenario

    At the GSMA IoT Summit held during Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2025, Eric Zhao, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Wireless Solution, delivered a keynote speech titled “5G-A Powers All-Scenario IoT, Turbocharging a New AIoT Era for All.” In his address, Zhao emphasized the powerful convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), and how this synergy is rapidly making intelligent connections accessible and applicable across all areas of life and industry. He highlighted three essential components that make full-scale AIoT possible: all-scenario IoT for broad device connectivity, ultra-broadband networks that move data swiftly to the cloud, and intelligent applications built with industry-specific models.

    Zhao explained that AI and cellular IoT are becoming increasingly integrated, enabling smart systems in daily life from AI-powered robots and vehicles to industrial applications like automated production lines and smart ports. As previously unconnected spaces gain network access, new possibilities emerge, such as drone-enabled power grid inspections and next-gen urban management systems. This evolution promises to reshape traditional industries by bringing intelligence into core operations.

    The vision for full AIoT connectivity relies on three foundations. All-scenario IoT connects a diverse and growing range of devices using technologies such as 5G RedCap, Ambient IoT, and NB-IoT. These networks are essential for applications that demand real-time data, low latency, and minimal energy use, such as AI-driven quality inspections or embodied robots. Second, 5G-Advanced networks deliver high-speed, low-latency, wide-area data transport, making it possible for a single network to support multiple industrial applications by pushing vast volumes of data from physical devices into cloud-based AI systems for training and analysis.

    Third, the rise of intelligent applications is unlocking significant industrial transformation. The proliferation of industry-specific AI models depends on large volumes of quality data. In a manufacturing facility in Guangdong, China, Huawei has integrated AI into 5G-connected HD cameras to automatically detect product defects. This innovation has improved quality control, lowered repair costs by 20%, and saved over CNY1 million annually.

    Eric Zhao closed his speech with a call to action for the global industry to come together in advancing cellular IoT. He expressed Huawei’s commitment to working with partners worldwide to build integrated applications that merge AI and cellular IoT. Together, he believes, the industry can foster an ecosystem that supports widespread intelligent connectivity.

    MWC Shanghai 2025, held from June 18 to June 20, provided a platform for Huawei to unveil its latest wireless solutions at Hall N1 of the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). As 5G-Advanced adoption accelerates globally this year, Huawei continues to collaborate with international carriers, thought leaders, and industry players to explore how AI can revolutionize telecommunications and support the shift toward a smarter, more connected world.

    Huawei Unveils AI-Driven UBB Breakthroughs to Accelerate the Future of Connectivity

    At the Broadband Development Conference (BDC) held in conjunction with MWC Shanghai 2025, Huawei once again captured industry attention by unveiling its latest AI-powered ultra-broadband (UBB) solution. Delivered during a keynote titled “AI Reshapes UBB for New Growth”, David Wang, Huawei’s Executive Director of the Board, introduced a transformative approach that leverages artificial intelligence to redefine the architecture, capability, and efficiency of broadband networks. The new solution is divided into four integrated sub-solutions AI FAN, AI OTN, AI WAN, and ADN each aimed at empowering different layers of modern digital infrastructure, from home networks to backbone connectivity and intelligent network control.

    The rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and the explosive evolution of large language models (LLMs) into multi-modal agents have accelerated the need for robust, intelligent network infrastructure. Innovations such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A) are rapidly maturing, driving industrial adoption of AI while demanding more agile, responsive, and secure data networks. Moreover, with the cost of AI inference dropping by 99% over the past two years, fueled by breakthroughs like Mixture of Experts (MoE) and model distillation, Huawei’s move to embed intelligence directly into broadband networks is timely and strategic.

    Huawei’s AI UBB solution addresses this digital transformation head-on. By integrating intelligence into network hardware, the company offers carriers enhanced capabilities for data transport, computing interconnection, and AI application performance. AI FAN transforms home gateways into unified AI hubs, enabling seamless interaction via voice, gesture, and video, and delivering 50G PON access paving the way for ubiquitous 10 Gbit/s connectivity. Enhanced edge computing in OLTs facilitates improved synergy between devices, edges, and the cloud, laying the groundwork for a smarter digital home ecosystem.

    For enterprise-grade performance, Huawei’s AI OTN offers high-speed, low-latency optical transmission ideal for urban compute centers and cloud-edge-device workloads. Its sub-wavelength optical switching and built-in digital twin simulation enable flexible spectrum allocation and predictive service management optimizing end-to-end performance with extreme precision. Meanwhile, the AI WAN component focuses on transforming IP bearer networks. Using AI models that recognize encrypted and elephant flows, this layer ensures lossless, high-throughput transmission while embedding advanced real-time threat detection for intrinsic network security.

    The ADN (Autonomous Driving Network) element provides the intelligence core, based on a three-layer architecture that leverages AI agents, digital twins, and Huawei’s proprietary Telecom Foundation Model. From network elements to the service layer, ADN orchestrates real-time performance monitoring, automated troubleshooting, and AI-assisted decision-making. By achieving L4 autonomy, these networks significantly reduce human intervention, lowering operational burdens on managed service teams and ensuring superior end-user experience.

    David Wang emphasized that the coming AGI era brings transformative potential and unparalleled challenges for UBB operators. He urged the global broadband industry to join hands in building AI-native UBB networks, calling for collective efforts in business model innovation, industry standardization, and the nurturing of AI-centric application ecosystems. “Together, we can unlock new growth for the UBB industry while building a more intelligent, connected future,” he said in his closing remarks.

    Held from June 18 to June 20 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, MWC Shanghai 2025 provided the perfect backdrop for Huawei’s latest innovations. The company’s showcase in Hall N1 drew strong interest from global telecom players, reinforcing its commitment to working alongside industry leaders to advance 5G-Advanced commercial deployment, AI integration, and intelligent infrastructure.
