Huawei Unveils Token Monetization and 5G-A Solutions in Shanghai

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — At the international exhibition MWC Shanghai 2026, Huawei presented a complex of technological solutions aimed at integrating services, network infrastructure, and computing resources. The main emphasis is placed on developing monetization models for digital services under the conditions of accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence and autonomous AI agents.

Under the theme "Advancing All Intelligence," Huawei, together with international telecom operators and industry partners, is discussing new approaches to the development of the telecommunications industry. This includes expanding the capabilities of 5G-Advanced (5G-A) networks, increasing the efficiency of the uplink data transmission channel, and forming new business models based on the monetization of user experience and tokenized services.

Transition to Intelligent Networks and New Growth Models

As part of the event, David Wang, Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman of Huawei, presented a strategic vision for the transformation of mobile networks under the influence of artificial intelligence. According to him, the evolution of mobile technologies over recent decades ensured a consistent increase in spectral efficiency and the expansion of service capabilities, while the transition to the AI era shapes new requirements for network architecture and operators' business models.

The company highlights six key directions for industry development in the next phase:

• Creating new services and capabilities for future mobile communication systems
• Integrating artificial intelligence into mobile networks and forming a multi-layered intelligent architecture
• Developing hybrid terrestrial-satellite networks
• Improving approaches to radio frequency spectrum allocation
• Forming standards for AI-native networks
• Developing new monetization models for digital services

Infrastructure and AI-Oriented Networks

Huawei presented the concept of an AI-centric target network focused on the transition from traditional traffic transmission to the integrated management of network and computing resources. Within this architecture, the development of three interconnected layers is envisaged:

• Basic communication networks focused on ensuring low latency and guaranteed connection quality
• Computing networks uniting network infrastructure and computing capacities
• AI-computing infrastructure with an emphasis on performance, open standards, and the development of the open-source ecosystem

According to company data, the number of 5G-Advanced network users in the world has already exceeded 100 million. Huawei, together with telecom operators, is developing user experience monetization models aimed at increasing operator profitability and retaining the subscriber base.

Growing Role of the Uplink and AI Service Development

Separate attention is paid to the development of a high-speed uplink data transmission channel, which is becoming a critically important element of infrastructure amid the growth of AI services and AI agents. It is noted that the use of multimodal devices, including AI glasses and real-time interactive services, requires stable data transmission with high speed and minimal latency.

Huawei also emphasizes the importance of the frequency band above 6 GHz (U6 GHz) as a promising spectrum for the development of next-generation networks. According to the company's estimates, more than 20 countries and regions have already designated this band for the development of IMT mobile communications, covering a significant portion of the global population.

Commercialization Prospects and New Application Scenarios

As part of its development strategy, Huawei is looking at expanding services for the B2C and B2B segments, including intelligent assistants, smart home services, and corporate AI solutions based on the integration of computing and network capabilities.

The company also plans the further development of autonomous networks using AI, including the implementation of solutions to increase energy efficiency, optimize network operations, and improve the quality of user service in various scenarios—from transport hubs to mass events and corporate campuses.

Summary

MWC Shanghai 2026, taking place from 24 June to 26 June 2026 in Shanghai, became a platform for demonstrating Huawei's strategic technological initiatives aimed at shaping a new development model for the telecommunications industry based on the integration of networks, computing, and artificial intelligence. The company declares its intention to continue cooperation with international telecom operators and partners in order to accelerate the digital transformation of the industry and develop monetization models for digital services during the transition to an intelligent network economy.
