Chinese ICT giant Huawei concluded its prominent participation as the Principal Sponsor of MWC Doha 2026, held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center from November 8 to 10. During the event, the company unveiled an integrated suite of innovations in artificial intelligence, next-generation networks, and digital infrastructure, reaffirming its commitment to driving digital transformation across Qatar and the wider region.
Operating under the theme "Advancing All Intelligence and Resilience," Huawei focused on empowering enterprises and business sectors to boost operational efficiency, modernize digital services, and build robust infrastructure capable of meeting the growing demands of an AI-driven economy.
AI and Building Future Infrastructure
During the conference, Liu Kang, President of ICT Marketing and Solution Sales at Huawei, delivered a keynote speech titled "Architecture of Intelligence." He highlighted the profound transformations that rapid AI development imposes on digital infrastructures and the promising opportunities this unlocks for telecom operators.
Kang explained the core equation governing this evolution, stating that computing power determines the depth of intelligence, while network connectivity dictates its reach. He emphasized that next-generation networks serve as the fundamental pillar for unleashing the full potential of AI and scaling smart services.
Accelerated Steps Toward the 6G Era
In support of Qatar's telecom sector development, Huawei participated as a technical partner in advanced trials led by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) in collaboration with Ooredoo Qatar and Vodafone Qatar. Hosted at the State of Qatar Pavilion, the trials demonstrated significant leaps in mobile network speeds and capacity using the advanced RetinaMIMO U6GHz VitaAAU technology with a 256T256R antenna configuration. This marks a pivotal milestone paving the way toward 6G networks, building upon the national 6G testbed initiative launched by the CRA.
For his part, Lin Jincan, President of Huawei Gulf North, praised Qatar's ambitious digital vision, affirming the company's dedication to bringing global innovations and expertise to the Qatari market through local partnerships. This aligns with efforts to foster a knowledge- and innovation-based economy in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
Strategic Partnerships and Dialogues on the Future of Tech
Expanding its local alliances, Huawei signed two strategic Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) during the conference. The first agreement establishes a partnership with Fadaat Media to provide advanced cloud infrastructure for the "Mourakeb" platform, while the second aims to deepen Huawei's 12-year strategic partnership with Qshield to drive long-term innovation and digital services.
Huawei experts also enriched the conference's panel discussions, notably at the Smart Mobility Summit and the Future Networks Summit, where they explored the horizons of interconnected systems and the roadmap toward 6G.
An Integrated Ecosystem to Empower Vital Sectors
Across its exhibition booth, Huawei showcased its end-to-end capabilities under the Connectivity and AItoX umbrellas, alongside Huawei Cloud services. The company highlighted how these solutions help government entities, enterprises, and telecom operators accelerate AI adoption and elevate digital experiences, supporting the goals of the Digital Agenda 2030 to build a smarter, more interconnected economy.
