Huawei Outlines Vision for Agentic Internet with 5G-A and AI

At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei's Li Peng emphasized the transformative potential of combining 5G-A with AI to usher in the agentic Internet era. Through this convergence, carriers can redefine connectivity by integrating AI into their services, creating new revenue streams beyond traditional traffic and experience monetization.

The mobile industry is poised to enter a ten-trillion-dollar market as networks evolve to support communication between countless agents, not just people. Li stressed that this shift necessitates a move from traffic offerings to high-value services.

With more than 300 carriers currently leveraging 5G technologies, this evolution enables unprecedented business model upgrades, enhancing brand value and user engagement. AI's integration into consumer, home, and enterprise services is set to drive significant growth by improving service offerings and operational efficiencies.

Huawei's vision includes partnering with carriers to unlock opportunities with 5G-A and AI, paving the way for future applications like massive IoT. Li encouraged carriers to adapt their infrastructure and service strategies to capitalize on AI's full potential.
