At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei unveiled its Agentic Core solution, a groundbreaking AI-native core network architecture designed to accelerate the commercial deployment of agentic networks and redefine how communications networks operate in the AI era. This initiative reflects Huawei’s strategic push to integrate AI deeply into core telecom infrastructure, enabling operators to move beyond traditional connectivity toward intelligent, service-centric networks.
What Is the Agentic Core Solution?
The Agentic Core solution combines three core intelligence engines — NE intelligence, network intelligence, and service intelligence — to help operators tackle key challenges posed by the rapid rise of AI-connected devices, complex service demands, and differentiated network experiences, Huawei said at the Mobile World Congress 2026 event.
NE Intelligence lays the foundation for large-scale physical AI deployment by managing digital identities, agent registration/discovery, and agent-to-agent (A2A) session management. This capability supports the anticipated surge in connections from humans to physical AI systems such as robots and autonomous vehicles, ensuring low latency, reliability, and scalability.
Network Intelligence represents a shift from rule-based networking to intent-driven networks, where intelligent agents dynamically understand and match network resources to diverse service needs. For example, AI robots may require consistent bandwidth and ultra-low latency, and network intelligence helps deliver these requirements in real time.
Service Intelligence empowers operators to innovate new intelligent services, going beyond simple connectivity. With AISF (Service Intelligence), carriers can evolve from basic interactive service portals to full-featured personal digital assistants that integrate communications, content, and AI-driven experiences. This transforms communication experiences into immersive interactions and unlocks new avenues for monetization.
Driving 7×24 Intelligent Connectivity
Huawei’s Agentic Core solution aims to provide 24/7 inclusive intelligent connectivity, enabling operators to deliver efficient, convenient, and intelligent digital services around the clock. By embedding AI throughout the core network, Huawei positions telecom providers to evolve from conventional network operators into enablers of the intelligent Internet era as the industry moves toward 6G and large-scale AI adoption. This innovation comes amid industry-wide efforts to create AI-centric networks that support massive agent ecosystems, dynamic service experiences, and new business models — signifying a major leap in how networks function and how operators can create value in an AI-driven digital economy.
