GTI Awards 2026 Ceremony

Innovative Technology Breakthrough Award: China Mobile and Huawei for their multi-agent system for mobile networks

This solution incorporates three major innovations: A2A-T interface protocol, single-domain agents powered by hybrid models, and RAN ultimate suppression of hallucination (RUSH), based on which the industry's first carrier-grade mobile multi-agent system has been made possible. Featuring high efficiency and performance and rock-solid reliability, the system has enabled China Mobile to improve O&M, optimization, energy saving, and user experience across more than one million cells. The achievements are remarkable, typically including 5.5% additional energy-saving gain per site in Henan, an up to 90% provisioning accuracy for experience boost packages in Fujian, and 20% shorter time on average in fault recovery.

Innovative Technology Breakthrough Award: Turkcell and Huawei for their 50 Gbps full-duplex radio links in Türkiye

Full-duplex enables simultaneous data transmission and reception over microwave links on the same frequency, significantly raising spectrum efficiency and performance, which is instantiated by 50 Gbps over just 2 GHz of spectrum. Hailed as a next-gen technology, it is a breakthrough in wireless data transmission, greatly facilitating 5G developments. Recently, a commercial full-duplex 50 Gbps microwave link has been put into use for users across the Bosphorus strait in Istanbul.

Innovative Product and Solution Award: Zain KSA and Huawei for their Mobile-Homestar solution

This solution provides seamless connectivity for flexible access to home-based computing, storage, and applications without public cloud or Internet. It fully taps into 5G-A to provide dedicated connections between homes and device's eUPF. Combined with the intelligent Easy FWAi algorithms, it allows for precise service identification and deterministic guarantee, offering a futureproof intelligent connectivity model that deeply integrates devices, homes, and mobile networks.

Innovative Product and Solution Award: stc and Huawei for their New Calling translation service

The service combines network's low latency and high security with a deeply optimized speech model for Arabic and English to provide real-time translation between the two languages for voice calls. As a state-of-the-art New Calling feature, this service is independent of device hardware, ensuring universal accessibility, including from common phones. Now offered as a pilot towards users in Riyadh, the service is on track to upgrade voice service experiences.

Mobile AI Application Award: China Mobile and Huawei among other partners for their intelligent collaborative assurance and scaled experience-oriented operations

Huawei's IntelligentRAN technology features cross-domain synergy to enable real-time risk visualization and prediction of experience, while adding intelligence to network scheduling. This positions it as an ideal option for guaranteeing service quality for HD livestreaming and gaming. To date, it has assisted China Mobile in digitally transforming over 400,000 5G base stations to incubate a paradigm shift in operational models from network-first to experience-centric, setting a new benchmark for the mobile AI era.

Honorary Award: Huawei Mobile AI OpenLab for its pioneering exploration and collaborative innovation in mobile AI

Jointly launched by GTI and Huawei, the Mobile AI OpenLab focuses on addressing the evolving needs of the mobile AI industry. Partnering with key players like China Mobile and Leju Robot, it delves into innovative applications, including multi-model and embodied AI, to pave the way for transformative advancements in the field. The lab was the first to identify differentiated uplink requirements for human-like interaction in mobile AI, diving deep into AI service traffic models, AoNR, and standardized AI-MOS evaluation, which are key to scaling up mobile AI applications, particularly in industrial settings.

MWC Barcelona 2026 takes place from March 2 to March 5 in Barcelona, Spain. During the event, Huawei will showcase its latest products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.

The era of agentic networks is now approaching fast, and the commercial adoption of 5G-A at scale is gaining speed. Huawei is actively working with carriers and partners around the world to unleash the full potential of 5G-A and pave the way for the evolution to 6G. We are also creating AI-Centric Network solutions to enable intelligent services, networks, and network elements (NEs), speeding up the large-scale deployment of level-4 autonomous networks (AN L4), and using AI to upgrade our core business. Together with other industry players, we will create leading value-driven networks and AI computing backbones for a fully intelligent future.
