en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 17, China Mobile Shanghai officially launched its Universal Token Service at the "Intelligent Empowerment, Sci-Tech Innovation in Shanghai" World Telecommunication Day conference. Targeting both consumer and office scenarios, the service is priced at 1 yuan for 400,000 tokens and supports payment via phone bills and compatibility with multiple models.
The core features of this Universal Token Service are "one account for all, cross-platform use, and phone bill payment." With a single purchase, users receive a unified token quota that can be used on China Mobile's self-developed "Jiutian" foundation model and freely chosen among other integrated third-party models. Meanwhile, the service supports payment through phone bills, lowering the barrier to entry for users. This model is summarized as "one quota, one price, any model of your choice," aiming to empower citizens and small and micro-enterprises in a low-cost, convenient way.
At the conference, Shanghai Mobile also jointly launched a co-branded WorkBuddy AI Agent Workstation with Tencent, serving as a key application scenario for the Universal Token Service. WorkBuddy comes with over 150 built-in industry skills, offering out-of-the-box AI agent services for office scenarios. Coupled with the pricing of 400,000 tokens for 1 yuan, users can directly utilize their token quota within the WorkBuddy platform to complete tasks such as document processing and data analysis, ushering in a new paradigm for AI-powered office life.
The launch of this Universal Token Service is built upon the large-scale commercial deployment of Shanghai Mobile's 5G-A Super Uplink network. Through three core technologies—"4.9GHz frame structure adjustment," "Supplementary Uplink (SUL)," and "Uplink 3-Carrier Aggregation"—Shanghai Mobile has achieved a peak uplink rate of 1Gbps and ubiquitous coverage stabilized at 20Mbps, with high-quality coverage completed in high-value areas such as core urban districts, key business circles, and transportation hubs. In terms of computing power, Shanghai Mobile has established a "2+N+X" three-tier computing power service system with an AI computing capacity of 11.2 EFLOPS. It has also launched the domestically-produced computing power base "Hu Xin He" and the MoMA Model Aggregation Intelligent Service Platform, which integrates over 300 mainstream AI models in the industry.
Released simultaneously with the Universal Token Service was the "AI Hui Shen Huo Upgrade Plan," which builds a "Space-Earth-Human" full-scenario digital livelihood experience. The "Tiantong + BeiDou" dual-satellite communication service enables stable communication in areas without terrestrial network coverage, while the construction of home 10-Gigabit optical networks makes "second-level downloads and buffer-free streaming" a household standard. The event also showcased multiple livelihood products such as the Super Portable WiFi, AI Smart Spectating, and the Ai Jia Ling Xi Screen, as well as embodied intelligence services like humanoid robots and robot dogs.
Shanghai Mobile's launch coincides with the 2026 World Telecommunication Day, as Shanghai is deeply advancing its construction as an international digital capital. Data disclosed by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization shows that this conference centrally released a series of achievements covering three major areas: digital infrastructure, industrial upgrading, and livelihood services. The Shanghai Communications Industry Data Innovation Laboratory was also inaugurated on the same day, with its first batch of implementations focusing on two core scenarios: pedestrian flow trend analysis in key areas and operational insights for industrial parks.
The launch of the Universal Token Service signifies that the operator is accelerating its transformation from a traditional communication service provider to an integrated AI service provider encompassing "computing power + models + platforms + applications." By driving the token price down to an industry low of 400,000 for 1 yuan, Shanghai Mobile aims to pursue growth through scale, rapidly cultivating user consumption habits for AI services and accumulating experience for Shanghai and the broader China Mobile Group's future nationwide token operations.
