On March 3 and 4, 2026, during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) telecommunications trade fair in Barcelona, the Chinese tech giant Huawei held a series of presentations and press conferences. The main theme of the speeches was the tight integration of artificial intelligence with telecommunications infrastructure and outlining the direction for the development of future network generations. The company presented a range of new products and solutions, with the updated Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0 platform taking center stage. Its goal is to build an AI-oriented "all-optical" network, which is intended to improve end-user experiences and enable new business applications. One of the key premieres was the Level 4 ADN (Autonomous Driving Network) campus network solution, which Huawei describes as an industry first. It is intended to be a breakthrough in campus network operations and management through the introduction of advanced automation. Furthermore, the company presented a new generation of green solutions for base stations and optical fiber detection technologies, which are intended for use in sectors such as mining or the oil and gas industry. Together with partner Bittel, the company also announced the Xinghe AI SafeStay network solution dedicated to hotels. The Mobile World Congress is the world's largest telecommunications and mobile technology trade fair, organized annually in Barcelona by the GSMA. The event serves as a platform for presenting the latest trends, products, and strategic visions of the sector's largest companies, shaping the future of global connectivity. In the area of mobile network development, Huawei focused on promoting 5G-Advanced technology and charting the path towards the future sixth-generation network. Company representatives, including President of Product Management Li Peng and President of Sales and Marketing for the EMEA Region Yang Chaobin, emphasized the need to accelerate entry into the "agentic era," in which intelligent, autonomous systems will be widespread. A key element of this vision is the use of the U6GHz band for optimizing 5G-A. „We need to accelerate into the agentic era with 5G-A and AI” — President of Product Management Li Peng – said Li Peng during one of the presentations. The company also showcased the new-generation SuperPoD and the iFTTO solution, intended to accelerate the intelligent transformation of campuses. In addition to technological presentations, Huawei announced that it had exceeded its commitment under the Partner2Connect initiative led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The company had previously pledged to provide digital connectivity to 120 million people in under-connected regions, and during MWC 2026 announced that this goal had been exceeded, reaching 170 million people. This is part of the company's broader strategy aimed at reducing global digital exclusion. At the same time, other companies from the Chinese technology ecosystem, such as OPPO and MediaTek, which presented joint achievements in on-device AI, and the brand HONOR, whose CEO appeared on the main stage, also made their presence felt at the congress.
