SHANGHAI, 28 June 2026 (The Capital Post) – Huawei has unveiled a suite of new technologies and solutions at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2026, aimed at helping telecommunications operators unlock new revenue streams through deeper integration of services, networks and computing capabilities.
Under the theme “Advancing All Intelligence”, the technology giant highlighted innovations designed to support the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), advanced connectivity and token-based digital economies.
Huawei Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman David Wang said AI is reshaping the telecommunications landscape and will play a pivotal role in driving industry growth over the next decade.
Speaking during a keynote address, Wang outlined six strategic priorities for the future of mobile communications, including AI integration, satellite-ground network convergence, sustainable spectrum planning, AI-native core networks and new business models for mobile services.
Among the key announcements was Huawei’s AI-centric target network, designed to help operators monetise both data traffic and AI-driven token services. The company said the next generation of communications infrastructure will move beyond traditional traffic transport to support real-time interactions, network-wide compute scheduling and seamless access to computing resources.
Huawei also introduced advancements in 5G-Advanced (5G-A) technologies, including high-uplink capabilities that support emerging AI applications such as smart glasses, real-time translation and multimodal interactions requiring significantly faster upstream data speeds.

The company revealed that global 5G-A adoption has surpassed 100 million users, with operators increasingly exploring premium service offerings and experience-based monetisation models to drive revenue growth and improve customer retention.
Huawei noted that the rapid rise of AI agents is expected to accelerate demand for token-based services, requiring ultra-broadband networks with high reliability, low latency and enhanced uplink performance. The company identified the Upper-6 GHz spectrum band as a key enabler for future 5G-A deployments, with several markets preparing for commercial implementation.
Looking ahead, Huawei said it will continue collaborating with telecommunications operators to integrate AI into consumer, home and enterprise services while advancing autonomous network capabilities that improve operational efficiency, service quality and user experience.
MWC Shanghai 2026 is being held from 24 to 26 June at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, bringing together global industry leaders to explore the future of telecommunications and digital innovation. – The Capital Post.
