en.Wedoany.com Reported - At MWC Shanghai 2026, Huawei showcased its latest advancements in connectivity and computing capabilities under the theme "Accelerating Towards an Intelligent World," and released the AI-Centric Target Network, aiming to build core competitiveness in Byte+Token operations. In his speech, Huawei Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman Wang Tao pointed out that the mobile communications industry is facing new opportunities in the intelligent era and proposed six core directions for development over the next decade.
Wang Tao emphasized that future mobile communication systems need to support new services and capabilities, achieve a three-layer intelligent integration of AI and mobile communications, build a space-air-ground integrated network architecture, conduct scientific and rational spectrum planning, and define an AI-native core network. During the exhibition, Huawei jointly released multiple innovative achievements with China's three major operators, covering areas such as 5G-A enhanced uplink and experience monetization, AI-driven transformation of core businesses, and Token operations. In terms of infrastructure, the AI-Centric Target Network released by Huawei shifts the basic communication network from traffic-driven construction to real-time interaction-driven construction, while the computing power network emphasizes a shift from traffic bearing to full-network scheduling of computing power, achieving network-as-computing.
As of now, the number of 5G-A users has exceeded 100 million. Huawei is deepening 5G-A experience monetization with global operators, integrating 5G-A into the existing operations system to promote the retention and value enhancement of mid-to-high-end users. With the development of AI applications, enhanced uplink capabilities have become critical. For example, real-time multimodal interaction scenarios such as AI glasses translation and exhibition browsing require an uplink experience of 20 Mbps. Huawei pointed out that in the era of the intelligent internet, U6GHz, as the next-generation gold spectrum, has a ready end-to-end industrial ecosystem. More than 20 countries and regions have explicitly designated U6GHz for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), covering nearly 80% of the global population. 2026 is regarded as the first year of U6GHz commercialization, with the Middle East expected to deploy the world's first 5G-A commercial network based on U6GHz, and operators in Hong Kong and Macau of China also set to initiate related deployments.
In terms of business innovation, Huawei, together with operators in Guangdong, Shanghai, Hebei, and other regions, is comprehensively restructuring core businesses for consumers (ToC) and households (ToH) through AI, while introducing Token consumption models for the future, such as smart home assistants, personal communication assistants, and CH convergence services. For the enterprise market (ToB), Huawei collaborates with operators to create AI computing services centered on "computing + network," achieving new business growth. Huawei also continues to apply AI-native technologies in the autonomous network domain, planning to accelerate the deployment of single-domain intelligence in areas such as wireless and transmission in key regions jointly with operators in 2026, to enhance network maintenance, optimization, and energy efficiency coordination, and provide differentiated products for scenarios such as high-speed rail, venues, and parks.
MWC Shanghai 2026 is being held from June 24 to 26 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Huawei stated that it will work with global operators and partners to explore practices such as 5G-A enhanced uplink, experience monetization, and AI-driven transformation of core businesses, seizing the opportunities of the Token operations era.
