During MWC Shanghai 2026, the AI-ON Summit, themed "Networks for AI, AI for Networks, " was held. The event to explore optical network trends in the new era of Token monetization. Participants shared practical experiences in new services like ultra-gigabit/10 Gbps packages and network-computing integration. At the summit, Huawei unveiled 10 AI-Optical Network (AI-ON) innovative products and solutions to empower operators to build AI-centric all-optical target networks and drive the widespread adoption of AI services.

In October 2025, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) released the ION-2030 vision for next-generation optical networks, charting the course for the future of AI-ON. The AI-ON will efficiently support widespread computing applications, while leveraging large models and AI agents to advance toward high-level autonomous networks. China is upgrading from 'gigabit everywhere' to '10G ramp-up, ' driving ultra-gigabit broadband services and exploring new paths for broadband quality enhancement. Millisecond-level computing is moving from 'system construction' to 'large-scale deployment, ' building a solid all-optical foundation for the digital economy."

China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Zain Jordan, and Shunwang Technology shared their latest practices in embracing AI opportunities. Building on improved bandwidth speeds, they are empowering home broadband services through upgrades in connectivity experiences, intelligent services, and proactive support. These innovations deliver best-in-class AI application experiences and premium broadband services to households, while upgrading private line connections and integrated computing-network service capabilities ensures high-quality computing access and usage for enterprises. Operators are entering a new era of value operations. By leveraging intelligent upgrades, they are maximizing the value of their installed base, expanding value-added services, and establishing new pathways for sustainable growth.

To help operators accelerate transition into the era of Token monetization, Huawei has comprehensively upgraded its 10 AI-ON innovative products and solutions.
