The brochure "5G-A Leads in Mobile AI Era" highlights nine cases of 5G-A deployments and the benefits delivered:

Introduction to the brochure:

Advancements in open-source foundation models are accelerating society's access to AI services, driving us towards an intelligent world. By 2030, AI model traffic is projected to exceed five times today's mobile internet, fueled by 6 billion mobile AI agents. These agents will become ubiquitous companions and collaborators, anticipating needs at home and work. This pervasive AI demands faster, smarter networks.

The evolution to 5G-A delivers a 10X leap in capability – 10 Gbps downlink, 1 Gbps uplink, and 100 billion connections – enabling seamless connectivity for People, Homes, Vehicles, Things, and Industries. Mobile AI infuses these 5G-A connections with intelligence, unlocking new scenarios, applications, and business models, expanding the industry's potential and creating immense value.

• People: AI elevates human-machine interaction. Phones evolve into multi-modal AI agents, acting as smart personal assistants that streamline daily life.
• Homes: AI enables high-quality smart lifestyles. Devices interconnect beyond single functions, entertainment becomes immersive, and AI assistants evolve into multi-functional robots.
• Vehicles: AI reshapes travel, integrating ground and air transport via agent-centric interactions and progressing towards full self-driving (L5) for safer, more comfortable journeys.
• Things: AI powers an intelligent Internet of Everything (IoE), enabling real-time sensing everywhere and evolving from single-point sensing to all-domain digital twins for a more functional environment.
• Industries: AI embeds into operations for intelligent manufacturing, requiring ubiquitous 5G-A for seamless human-robot collaboration and autonomous operations enhancing safety and quality.

These intelligent connections demand ubiquitous high-downlink, low-latency, and high-reliability mobile networks. Simply put, the future of mobile AI hinges on 5G-A.

5G-A early adopters are scaling globally. Leading operators offer commercial packages in over 200 cities worldwide, enabling smart lifestyles. The fusion of 5G-A and AI empowers millions with HD intelligent conferencing, tens of millions with multi-angle sports streams, and hundreds of millions with optimized travel connectivity – driving double-digit DOU and ARPU growth for operators.
