5G-A Users Reach 10 Million in China: Huawei Showcases 5G-A Development and Value of Scenario-based AI
SHANGHAI, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- During MWC Shanghai 2025, Huawei showcased new developments in 5G Advanced (5G-A) experience monetization and scenario-based services powered by AI agents. The company's exhibition at this year's event has been titled "Accelerating the Intelligent World" as they intend to meet with global carriers, industry partners, and opinion leaders to discuss new paths for carrier development that focus on creating value using AI. Huawei's showcase is focusing on their latest innovations in three areas: Commercial 5G-A adoption is expected to accelerate in a number of regions in 2025, including China, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Carriers in these regions are actively exploring experience monetization models. Eric Xu, Huawei's Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman, gave a keynote on pathways for driving growth in the telecoms industry. Xu began his speech by sharing observations about the current status of the telecoms industry: "After nearly four decades of rapid growth, the industry has entered a period of steady development, while facing some challenges to new growth." He proceeded to expand on four potential pathways to growth: "Of course, every carrier is different," concluded Xu. "Their markets are different, their business environment is different – and so is their competitive landscape. So the pathways to growth are different, too. We're ready and willing to work together, helping carriers explore opportunities unique to them and carve out the right pathways to long-term, sustainable growth." China has emerged as a global pioneer in 5G-A, with 5G-A already available in over 300 of its cities. Carriers now offer 5G-A mobile plans in more than 30 Chinese provinces and the country currently has over 10 million 5G-A users. Carriers in China, the Middle East, and other regions are also exploring the new value framework for experience monetization by introducing premium upgrade initiatives. 5G-A offers users ultra-fast networks and fuels intelligent transformation in multiple sectors, including smart living, transportation, and manufacturing. The communications industry is facing significant disruption thanks to AI-driven innovation. The success of new experience monetization models also indicates the industry will soon enter a new era of growth. Carriers are uniquely positioned to embrace this surge in AI and explore new AI applications because of their inherent strengths in cloud, network, intelligence, and computing. They are using AI to transform their services, infrastructure, and operations, which is unlocking new drivers for business growth. Many carriers are rebranding themselves as providers of personalized and integrated, AI agents that are accessible to consumers. Within the smart home market, they are upgrading existing services by enabling coordination between various smart devices to enhance smart home companionship. Carriers are also moving into the in-vehicle services market by integrating AI agents with vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies to create smart, mobile third spaces. For businesses, they are upgrading their capabilities by enhancing computing-network services and model-based services to empower operations.

At the Mobile Broadband Forum MBBF Top Talk Summit held during MWC Shanghai 2025, 150 guests, including top-tier executives from leading telecommunications firms, AI innovators, and academic pioneers, gathered to explore the huge opportunities emerging from the deep convergence of ICT and AI industries. David Wang opening the MBBF Top Talk Summit in Shanghai Li Peng closing the MBBF Top Talk Summit Shanghai David Wang, Huawei's Executive Director of the Board, opened the event by saying, 'The rapid adoption of mobile AI is bringing new vitality to the mobile industry in three brand-new ways. First, mobile devices are no longer just about apps, as they begin to host AI agents that will improve every aspect of our life and work. Second, AI's deep convergence with IoT is making AI-IoT a new portal to the intelligent world. Third, AI is now powering networks. Previously, we mainly focused on O&M efficiency when it came to network management. But today, AI is allowing us to maximize spectrum, energy, and O&M efficiency at the same time.' He went on to call on the entire industry to pursue shared success in the mobile AI era by unlocking the potential of 5G-Advanced (5G-A). To this end, Huawei and other industry stakeholders are already working together on five areas that can act as levers to drive 5G-A growth, including large uplink bandwidth, rich device ecosystems, multimodal intelligent services, all-scenario IoT capabilities, and diverse business models. Cross-Sector Tech Symbiosis: Redefining Omni-Scenario Innovation: The deepening convergence of 5G-A and AI is profoundly transforming industries. In manufacturing sectors, 5G-A's low latency and high bandwidth are critical enablers for high-precision sensing and decision-making based on embodied AI. Powered by 5G-A networks, embodied AI can collect and process vast amounts of data in real time to complete the 'sensing > decision > execution' cycle, minimizing production risks while maximizing efficiency. In the supply chain industry, 5G-A's wide coverage and AI-assisted route planning can collectively boost efficiency and slash costs. For instance, smart logistics based on 5G-A and AI-empowered-devices stands for more efficient route planning, which translates into greater distribution timeliness and lower OPEX. Technologically, 5G-A must evolve beyond its conventional role as a connectivity pipe to function as an experience platform capable of supporting real-time interaction among billions of active mobile AI agents. 5G-A advancement transcends mere technological improvements, requiring fundamental reinvention of network infrastructure and operational paradigms. From a commercial perspective, premium experiences are driving 5G-A monetization. 5G-A's ability to deliver flawless experiences for low-latency and high-bandwidth applications (like cloud gaming and multi-view immersive sports streaming) is also creating more user-friendly payment patterns. This experience-first approach is establishing business growth opportunities as consumers demonstrate increased willingness to pay for quality-of-service guarantees. Li Peng, Huawei's Corporate Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales & Service, wrapped up the event with closing remarks. '5G-A will deliver much stronger capabilities', said Li. 'It will equip carriers to provide a guaranteed network experience across multiple factors. 5G-A will spur innovative new business models, and help carriers expand beyond traffic to begin monetizing experience itself.' Li went on to explain how carriers are using AI agents to help drive AI adoption while delivering a targeted, guaranteed experience for a wide range of users, including individuals, homes, and industries – as well as people on the go. 'This transformation will help carriers truly elevate their brand, create new value, and better monetize experience. To get there, we need to develop new AI-centric network construction standards to guide the ongoing evolution of infrastructure. This will be crucial for developing wide-area lossless 5G-A networks that support deterministic access, elastic scheduling, and on-demand, reliable connections between the cloud, edge, and devices.' Li Peng closing the MBBF Top Talk Summit Shanghai: MWC Shanghai 2025 took place from June 18 to June 20 in Shanghai, China. During the event, Huawei showcased its latest products and solutions in Hall N1 of the Shanghai New International Expo Center SNIEC. The commercial adoption of 5G-Advanced is accelerating in 2025. Huawei collaborates with global carriers, industry experts, and opinion leaders to explore how innovations in AI can be used to reshape telecom services, infrastructure, and operations to generate new revenue sources and accelerate the transition towards an intelligent world. About Huawei: Founded in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. We have more than 208,000 employees, and we operate in more than 170 countries and regions, serving more than three billion people around the world.
