Huawei Unveils AI-Powered SmartCare: The Future of Telecom Network Management
Barcelona, Spain – March 4, 2026 – Huawei is reshaping the future of telecom network operations with the launch of its SmartCare Intelligence solution at MWC Barcelona 2026. This recent offering, built on an AI-native architecture, promises to unlock significant value from network experience and data, driving business growth for operators worldwide.
The Rise of Agentic Networks and Autonomous Operations
The telecom industry is rapidly evolving towards fully intelligent operations. Huawei’s SmartCare Intelligence solution is designed to accelerate this transition, enabling operators to quickly apply AI to critical areas. This shift aligns with the broader industry trend towards agentic networks – networks capable of autonomous decision-making and self-optimization.
The solution’s architecture centers around “1 unified AI entry + 2 key technology foundations + N scenario-based intelligent services.” This framework allows for a streamlined approach to AI integration, focusing on practical applications and tangible business outcomes.
DataChat: A Unified AI Entry Point
At the heart of SmartCare Intelligence lies DataChat, a unified AI entry point for the telecom Customer Experience Management (CEM) domain. DataChat leverages long-term memory and domain-specific knowledge to proactively understand network status – user behavior, traffic patterns, and overall experience quality. It can then access various intelligent agents and tools to provide optimal solutions and recommendations, acting as a sophisticated decision support system.
Key Technological Foundations: Digital Twins and SRCON2.0
Huawei’s solution is underpinned by two key technological foundations: upgraded domain-specific professional models, including network digital twins and SRCON2.0. These advancements facilitate a “new function paradigm of experts + digital employees,” enabling faster issue resolution and value creation. Digital twins, in particular, allow operators to simulate network changes and predict potential problems before they impact customers.
Four High-Value Scenarios for Immediate Impact
Huawei is launching SmartCare Intelligence with four initial high-value scenarios designed to address pressing operator challenges:
- Complaint Management: Streamlining the resolution of customer complaints through AI-powered analysis and automated solutions.
- Network NPS Improvement: Enhancing Net Promoter Score (NPS) by proactively identifying and addressing network issues impacting customer satisfaction.
- High-Value Customer Experience Assurance: Providing a superior experience for key customers through personalized monitoring and proactive support.
- Hyper-Personalized Marketing: Delivering targeted marketing campaigns based on individual customer needs and preferences.
These scenarios emphasize seamless collaboration between domain experts and AI agents, accelerating the closed-loop process of business value creation.
The Path to 5G-A and 6G
Huawei is actively collaborating with carriers and partners globally to unlock the full potential of 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and pave the way for the evolution to 6G. The company is also focused on creating AI-Centric Network solutions to enable intelligent services, networks, and network elements (NEs), accelerating the deployment of level-4 autonomous networks (AN L4).
Did you know? Level-4 autonomous networks represent a significant leap forward in network management, requiring minimal human intervention for routine operations.
Looking Ahead: AI-Driven Network Evolution
The launch of SmartCare Intelligence signals a pivotal moment in the telecom industry. By embracing AI and automation, operators can unlock new levels of efficiency, improve customer experience, and drive sustainable business growth. Huawei’s commitment to innovation positions it as a key player in this transformative journey.
