At the GSMA IoT Summit during Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2025, Huawei Wireless Solution Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Eric Zhao delivered a keynote speech titled “5G-A powers all-scenario IoT, turbocharging a new AIoT era for all”.

In his speech, Zhao discussed how IoT and AI are converging and mutually enabling to make intelligent connections ubiquitous for all. “Three elements are key to achieving full AIoT. They are: all-scenario IoT that expands IoT connections to all scenarios, ultra-broadband networks that link all data to the cloud and computing resources, and intelligent applications that are driven by industry-specific models,” said Zhao.

AI and cellular IoT are becoming more deeply intertwined, which means more and more things that are helpful in everyday lives will be connected, such as intelligent vehicles and embodied AI robots. This also means, an increasing number of intelligent applications will leverage these connections across diverse scenarios, like production lines and smart ports, to transform industries with intelligent technology. Moreover, the previously unconnected spaces will become connected, and this will enable a plethora of innovative applications, including drone-based power grid inspection, to boost smart urban governance.

There are three key things that make these connections intelligent. First, all-scenario IoT expands connections to all scenarios, enabling the collection of all production data. Second, 5G-A ultra-broadband networks transport these data from the physical world to models in the cloud in real time. Third, industry-specific and scenario-specific models transform core production processes across industries by making applications intelligent.

Zhao concluded his speech by calling for industry-wide efforts to promote the development of cellular IoT. “We will continue to work with industry partners to develop more converged applications of cellular IoT and AI. We will develop a thriving ecosystem to usher in a new age of full intelligent IoT connectivity,” said Zhao.

MWC Shanghai 2025 was held from 18 to 20 June at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. During the event, Huawei showcased its latest products and solutions.

The commercial adoption of 5G-Advanced is accelerating in 2025. Huawei collaborates with global carriers, industry experts, and opinion leaders to explore how innovations in AI can be used to reshape telecom services, infrastructure, and operations to generate new revenue sources and accelerate the transition towards an intelligent world.
