Mobile AI Momentum Marks MBBF Top Talk Summit at MWC Shanghai 2025
The “Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) Top Talk Summit” was held as part of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2025, bringing together 150 guests, including top telecom executives, artificial intelligence (AI) innovators, and academics. The summit explored the immense potential emerging from the integration of information technology and artificial intelligence.
According to a press release issued by Huawei Bangladesh on Thursday, June 26, the event served as a platform to explore how AI is reshaping the mobile industry.
David Wang, Executive Director of the Board at Huawei, said at the summit, “Mobile AI is revitalizing the mobile industry in three transformative ways. First, mobile devices are no longer solely dependent on apps. Devices are now starting to host AI agents that can improve every aspect of our lives and work. Second, the integration of AI with the Internet of Things (IoT) is opening the door to a more intelligent world. Third, AI is now enhancing network technology. Previously, network management focused primarily on operational and maintenance efficiency. But now, AI empowers us to optimize spectrum usage, energy efficiency, and management simultaneously.”
He urged collaborative efforts to unlock the full potential of 5G-Advanced in the era of mobile AI. To this end, Huawei and its partners are already working in five key areas to accelerate the adoption of 5G-A. These include large uplink bandwidth, an advanced device ecosystem, multimodal intelligent services, all-scenario IoT capabilities, and diverse business models.
The increasing convergence of 5G-A and AI is driving profound transformation across industries. In particular, in the manufacturing sector, the low latency and high bandwidth of 5G-A combined with AI facilitates precise decision-making. AI-powered 5G-A networks can instantly collect and analyze vast volumes of data, enabling a rapid ‘perception > decision > execution’ cycle. This reduces industrial risks while significantly enhancing overall efficiency.
In commercial contexts, the push for improved customer experience is propelling 5G-A technology forward and making it financially viable. Applications that require low latency and high bandwidth, such as cloud gaming and multiview immersive sports streaming, are benefiting from the seamless performance of 5G-A, enabling more convenient payment models for users.
Li Peng, Huawei’s Corporate Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales and Services, said in his closing remarks, “5G-A will bring stronger capabilities, helping operators ensure more reliable network experiences across multiple dimensions. At the same time, 5G-A will unlock new, innovative business opportunities, shifting from a traffic-based revenue model to one centered on direct user experience monetization.”
He further explained how operators are now using AI agents to drive broader adoption of artificial intelligence while delivering targeted and dependable experiences across homes, industries, and individual users. “This transformation will elevate brand value, generate new utility, and help monetize directly from user experience. To achieve this, we must develop new standards for building AI-centric networks as part of infrastructure evolution,” he added.
As 5G-Advanced technology moves rapidly toward commercial deployment in 2025, Huawei continues to collaborate with global mobile operators, industry experts, and policy makers to reshape telecom services, infrastructure, and operations through AI-powered innovation.
