Shenzhen, Wednesday, 12 March 2025.
Huawei announces AI-centric 5.5G technology including GigaGear, GreenPulse, and GainLeap at MWC 2025, aiming to enhance network performance and enable diverse AI-driven applications in telecommunications.

Revolutionary Network Transformation

In a landmark announcement at MWC Barcelona 2025, Cao Ming, Vice President of Huawei and President of Huawei Wireless Solution, unveiled the company’s groundbreaking AI-centric 5.5G solutions on March 8, 2025 [1]. The introduction marks a fundamental shift in mobile network architecture, addressing three critical transformations: enhanced user experiences, advanced operations and maintenance, and evolved business models [2]. This technological leap responds to the growing demands of AI applications, which are reshaping network requirements from traditional human-to-human communications to more complex human-to-AI and AI-to-AI interactions [3].

Three Pioneering Solutions

The innovation suite comprises three key solutions: GigaGear, GreenPulse, and GainLeap [1][2]. GigaGear introduces intent-driven resource collaboration across time, frequency, spatial, and power domains, enabling efficient network scheduling for diverse scenarios [1]. GreenPulse focuses on maximizing spectrum and energy efficiency through intentional automation, pursuing the ambitious goal of ‘0 bits, 0 watts, 0 waste’ while ensuring high network autonomy [2]. The GainLeap solution leverages the intelligent RAN service engine (RISE) for dynamic service orchestration, enabling operators to monetize network value effectively [1].

Real-World Impact and Implementation

Early implementations have already demonstrated significant results. MTN South Africa, utilizing Huawei’s AI WAN solution across more than 7,000 base stations, achieved a remarkable 25% increase in dataflow in the KwaZulu-Natal region [3]. The technology’s practical applications extend to enhanced security measures, with carriers potentially increasing revenue by up to 35% through advanced security protection services for enterprise customers [6].

Future Outlook and Industry Implications

The introduction of these AI-centric 5.5G solutions represents just the beginning of a broader transformation in telecommunications. Huawei has committed to continued innovation alongside industry partners to meet evolving mobile AI demands [1][2]. This commitment aligns with the industry-wide recognition of Net5.5G as a crucial development, particularly as commercial 5G-Advanced deployment accelerates throughout 2025 [3]. Leon Wang, President of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, emphasizes the company’s dedication to remaining at the forefront of network intelligence innovation, working closely with partners to advance toward the Net5.5G intelligent network era [6].
