At the 10th Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF 2024), James Chen, President of Huawei’s Carrier Business, gave a speech entitled “Network+AI, Unleashing More Business Value.” Chen said: “To realize the potential of AI, The strategy of the “FOUR NEW” – new hub, new services, new experiences and new operation – is crucial. It helps network operators expand their market boundaries, promote innovative services and improve their competitiveness, while optimizing network operations and increasing business success. Huawei is committed to working with global operators and partners to achieve greater business value through the “FOUR NEW” strategy and create a digital and intelligent future that benefits everyone.”
As the ultra-broadband (UBB) and AI industries continue to grow, the number of gigabit fiber broadband users worldwide has exceeded 300 million, and the average speed of residential broadband packages has reached 570 Mbps. There are over 1,300 AI startup models and more than 30,000 AI-related companies worldwide. The UBB and AI industries reinforce each other and drive the widespread adoption of gigabit broadband.
Huawei believes that the “FOUR NEW” strategy is the key to unlocking more business value through Network+AI.
New Hub: The new hub is the AI hub for home services. The heart of the AI Hub is the development of AI agents. AI agents need to connect people, things and applications, understand and respond to family members’ needs, control smart devices to meet family needs, and connect AI applications to expand the boundaries of home services. The new hub will help airlines achieve a business breakthrough in the domestic market.
New services: Providers enable new services and aggregate high-quality content with AI to gradually build an ecosystem of home AI applications. Artificial intelligence can not only enhance traditional services such as interactive fitness and exercise games, but also innovate home services such as household robots, healthcare, education, etc. It improves the quality of life and gradually builds a domestic AI ecosystem.
New experience: New services such as cloud gaming, live commerce, AI search for photos and videos are gradually emerging. These services have high network quality requirements, including latency, uplink and downlink bandwidth, and jitter. This opens up new network monetization opportunities for network operators. Carriers can leverage monetization opportunities through new business models, such as: E.g., latency-based billing, upstream bandwidth-based billing, and AI feature-based billing. High-quality services require high-quality networks. Network operators build high-quality premium vertical and horizontal networks to support a high-quality service experience and business monetization. The key to building a “premium vertical and horizontal network” is to build 1 ms connections between data centers and 1 ms access to a data center.
New operation: As transport companies’ networks continue to grow, the autonomous driving network is becoming increasingly important. AI supports autonomous driving at a high level and improves the efficiency of network operations. Huawei’s L4 autonomous driving network, based on the Telecom Foundation Model, helps operators reduce customer complaints, shorten complaint resolution time, improve service delivery efficiency, reduce the number of site visits and the to speed up troubleshooting.
In the wave of digital intelligence transformation, the “FOUR NEW” strategy is not only the embodiment of network technology innovation, but also the important driving force for the continuous release of network business value. New hub, new services, new experiences and new operations support each other and together form a complete path to Digital Intelligence success.
Going forward, Huawei will continue to remain customer-centric, work with global operators and partners to explore the era of digital intelligence, accelerate the release of network and AI business value, and create a prosperous intelligent world.
