At the Top Talk Summit, held as part of MWC Shanghai 2025, Huawei brought together over 150 guests — including senior executives from leading telecom operators, AI innovators, and academic leaders — to explore the transformative power of the deep integration between ICT and AI, DKnews.kz reports.
David Wang, Huawei’s Executive Director of the Board, opened the summit with a clear vision of how mobile AI is revitalizing the mobile industry in three groundbreaking ways:
“First, mobile devices are evolving beyond apps — they are becoming platforms for AI agents that enhance every aspect of our lives and work. Second, the convergence of AI with the Internet of Things is creating AIoT — a new gateway to the intelligent world. And third, AI is now powering the network itself. In the past, we focused on O&M efficiency. Today, AI is enabling us to optimize spectrum usage, energy consumption, and operations all at once.”
He urged the entire industry to pursue shared success in the mobile AI era by unlocking the full potential of 5G-A. Huawei and its partners are already advancing in five key areas driving 5G-A growth:
- large uplink bandwidth,
- a rich ecosystem of intelligent devices,
- multimodal AI-powered services,
- all-scenario IoT applications,
- and diverse, flexible business models.
Cross-Industry Synergy: How 5G-A and AI Are Reshaping Global Industries
The integration of 5G-Advanced and AI is more than a technological milestone — it’s a foundational shift in how industries operate and grow.
Manufacturing: The Rise of Embodied AI
In manufacturing, ultra-low latency and high bandwidth from 5G-A networks are enabling the deployment of embodied AI — intelligent machines capable of sensing, decision-making, and real-time execution.
Chang Lin, CEO of Leju Robot, emphasized:
“As robots become essential in both industry and daily life, connectivity needs to evolve from stable to truly intelligent. Latency will no longer be the challenge — collaborative decision-making will be the real game-changer.”
This shift allows robots to complete the full cycle of sensing, decision-making, and action in real time — minimizing risks and dramatically increasing efficiency on the production floor.
Logistics: Smarter, Faster, Leaner
In supply chain and logistics, 5G-A’s broad coverage and AI-powered route optimization unlock new levels of efficiency. Intelligent devices using real-time data can optimize delivery routes dynamically, reducing costs and ensuring timely distribution — a crucial edge in today’s fast-paced global economy.
5G-A as a Platform for Experience, Not Just Connectivity
From a technical perspective, 5G-A is no longer just a fast pipe for data. It is evolving into a real-time experience platform capable of supporting billions of mobile AI agents simultaneously.
Commercially, this shift is creating new monetization models focused on user experience. Cloud gaming, 360° sports streaming with dynamic viewing angles, and immersive XR applications are driving user willingness to pay for guaranteed quality of service, not just volume of data.
This experience-first business model is becoming a growth engine, as users place greater value on performance, reliability, and responsiveness.
Huawei: Elevating Networks, Brands, and Business Models
Li Peng, Huawei’s Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales & Services, delivered the closing remarks at the summit:
“5G-A brings capabilities far beyond what we’ve seen before. Operators will now be able to deliver guaranteed experiences across multiple performance dimensions. We’re not just expanding traffic — we’re unlocking entirely new business models where experience itself becomes a product.”
Li also highlighted the role of AI agents in this transformation. Operators are using them to deliver personalized, reliable network services for individuals, homes, businesses, and even people on the move.
“This shift empowers operators to grow their brand value, deliver new kinds of user-centric experiences, and fully monetize their networks. To get there, we must establish new AI-native network construction standards — ones that support wide-area, lossless 5G-A networks with deterministic access, elastic resource scheduling, and on-demand connections between cloud, edge, and device.”
5G-A and AI: Not the Future — the Present
MWC Shanghai 2025 is taking place from June 18 to 20 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). Huawei is presenting its latest innovations in Hall N1, offering a real-world look at the future of intelligent connectivity.
With commercial 5G-A deployment accelerating across the globe, Huawei continues working closely with carriers, industry experts, and technology leaders to explore how AI innovations can reinvent telecom services, modernize infrastructure, and unlock new revenue streams.
The convergence of 5G-A and AI is already reshaping telecom, industry, and everyday life. Huawei isn’t just showcasing technology — it’s building the foundation for an intelligent, connected world.
