Huawei’s David Wang Highlights Role of Ultra-Broadband Networks in Advancing AI at Istanbul Forum
At the opening of the 10th Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF) in Istanbul, Huawei's Executive Director, David Wang, highlighted the transformative impact of ultra-broadband (UBB) networks in ushering in an era of comprehensive intelligence. In his keynote, Wang emphasized Huawei’s omni-intelligence strategy, underscoring the importance of advanced digital infrastructure, cross-industry collaboration, and AI-driven innovation to accelerate the development of smart solutions across industries.
Wang detailed how the Fourth Industrial Revolution, fueled by artificial intelligence (AI), has driven economic growth and redefined the telecommunications landscape. AI applications now span diverse sectors, from individual use to corporate environments and smart homes, fostering a new demand for robust network structures with high capacity and low latency.
Huawei is investing in UBB for AI—leveraging ultra-fast broadband to meet AI’s high-bandwidth, low-latency requirements—and AI for UBB, which integrates AI technologies into network operations for improved efficiency and autonomous network management. According to Wang, these innovations are paving the way for intelligent networks that will enhance telecom operations and support industry-wide digital transformation.
Huawei’s comprehensive intelligence strategy, powered by Pangu AI models, aims to foster interconnected, digitally transformed environments where AI and advanced digital infrastructure enable smarter decisions, higher efficiency, and sectoral growth. The strategy's impact is particularly significant in telecommunications, where Huawei’s AI-driven solutions help telecom companies build autonomous networks that simplify operations, expedite service deployment, and enhance user experiences.
Innovations in Ultra-Broadband for AI Applications
To support AI requirements, Huawei’s UBB for AI includes 5.5G technology and cutting-edge network solutions like Dragonfly+ DC-OXC for data centers and high-speed 800G connections. Smart home services, bolstered by technologies such as Wi-Fi 7 and 50G PON, further exemplify how UBB enables real-time applications in increasingly interconnected environments.
AI-Driven Network Autonomy for Telecom Providers
Wang also introduced Huawei’s AI-powered operation and maintenance (O&M) architecture, built on digital twins and the Telecom Foundation Model. This design enables autonomous network management through role-based “operation assistants” and scenario-specific “agents” that streamline on-site operations and remote maintenance. Companies using Huawei’s autonomous driving network (ADN) solutions report improved network performance, faster fault detection, and a 57% reduction in customer churn.
In closing, Wang called for the broadband industry to embrace 5.5G innovations and adopt new AI-enabled services to stay competitive in the digital age. He highlighted the potential for new partnerships and job opportunities in AI as sectors leverage advanced network capabilities for sustainable growth.
