5G-A Users Reach 10 Million in China: Huawei Showcases 5G-A Development and Value of Scenario-based AI
SHANGHAI, June 27, 2025 /CNW/ -- 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: Services: Huawei is expected to announce the success of a number of 5G-A experience monetization and scenario-based AI application (AItoX) projects they have carried out in collaboration with China's three major carriers. Infrastructure: Huawei is hosting presentations by their carrier partners on their recent experience in building AI-centric networks. The company also launches a new comprehensive AI Ultra-Broadband (AI UBB) solution that covers all network layers from home broadband to transport networks. The solution comes with end-to-end built-in computing power and comprehensive performance enhancements aimed at accelerating network evolution towards higher-level autonomy, which will in turn improve AI application experience and enable business growth. Operations: Huawei and China's three major carriers jointly share their latest best achievements in intelligent wireless network operations and intelligent home broadband operations. 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: Ramping up for changes in user needs and meeting new demands with high growth potential Boosting HD video supply and consumption through coordinated efforts across the ecosystem Bringing 5G to every car for new growth in intelligent connected vehicles Bringing FTTR to micro and small businesses to make the most of opportunities in AI "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.

QFIN Vs BYRN: Which Niche Tech Stock Belongs in Your Portfolio?
Both Qifu Technology, Inc. QFIN and Byrna Technologies Inc. BYRN are lesser-known tech companies. While QFIN is a Chinese AI-driven consumer finance company, BYRN operates in the non-lethal self-defense technology sector, offering innovations and high growth potential. Despite their obscurity, these companies cater to a significantly tech-savvy user base. The comparative analysis of these two companies could benefit investors interested in low-profile tech stocks. QFIN relies on technological advancements to power its risk management practices. The company's AI + Finance strategy is changing the whole dynamic of credit services. In the first quarter of 2025, QFIN reported 15.8% year-over-year growth in loan origination, and its registered user base increased 11.1%. This improvement is led by the company's industry-first Intelligent Agent for Core Credit Business — a system of smart modules that streamline operations, improve risk management and create bespoke financial services. The company utilizes AI models to evaluate vast datasets to identify creditworthy individuals and small and medium enterprises, expanding its customer base while reducing defaults. Qifu Technology has improved its risk metrics by upgrading application and collection scorecards with AI, including LLMs, for real-time user communication data analysis and refinement of partner management. AI and big data are huge parts of QFIN's user acquisition strategy. The company's AI-led marketing strategy has improved its user profiling accuracy across channels, with a conversion rate of new credit line users to new borrowers growing 33% from the year-ago quarter in the first quarter of 2025. Finally, Qifu Technologyutilizes intelligent credit engine technology to operate a light capital model, contributing to its profitability and scalability. BYRN's technological advancements contribute to enhancing its product performance and appeal. The company's patented 'first-shot, pull-pierce' technology ensures that the Byrna launcher is ready to use all the time, addressing major drawbacks of other CO2-led devices. Reliability as such is a massive selling point for personal safety, making the product more appealing to customers and law enforcement, improving brand trust. Byrna Technologies' blunt impact projectile, a patented energy absorption system, is less lethal yet efficient, which is crucial for the company's target markets and sets it apart from competitors. The company employs technology to create designs that are miniature and user-friendly, thereby expanding the market for its products. This strategy enhances accessibility and convenience for a diverse range of users, including those who are uneasy with traditional ammunition. Furthermore, the company is boosting production and is preparing the initiation of its Compact Launcher in mid-2025. Byrna Technologies has augmented launcher production by 33% in the first quarter of 2025, touching 24,000 units per month to meet the increasing market demand and fuel operational expansion. Shifting ammunition production domestically is improving its supply chain and is anticipated to enhance product margins. These technological investments and market initiatives are estimated to drive growth throughout 2025 and in the future, positioning the company for prolonged success. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Byrna Technologies' fiscal 2025 sales is pegged at $111.7 million, suggesting 30.2% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 35 cents, indicating a 12.9% rise from the preceding year's actual. Two estimates for fiscal 2025 have moved north in the past 60 days versus no southward revisions.
