China Mobile Shandong and Huawei Win "Most Innovative Telco AI Deployment" at Network X

At the annual Network X awards ceremony, China Mobile Shandong and Huawei were honored with the "Most Innovative Telco AI Deployment" award for their co-developed Intelligent Network Change Management Platform (INCMP). The platform stood out for its pioneering simulation technology and deep integration with real-world practices, showcasing the partners' extraordinary collaboration and remarkable achievement in network digitalization and setting a new benchmark for intelligent transformation in global network services.

Network X is a global event in the communications industry, convening leading operators, innovators, and decision makers. Its awards celebrate groundbreaking achievements across the sector, honoring the projects that redefine the industry's future and also guiding the industry's continued growth.

China Mobile Shandong operates an IP network serving over 100 million users in Shandong province across mobile Internet, home broadband, enterprise private lines, and IPTV services. As the network expands and service complexity increases, managing configuration changes has become increasingly challenging. Since 2024, the company has executed over 1,500 network changes. Traditional manual configuration verification, which relies heavily on human experience, is prone to errors and omissions, posing risks to network reliability and stability.

To address these challenges, China Mobile Shandong partnered with Huawei to integrate Huawei's next-generation Centralized Model-Operation Simulation (CMOS) algorithm from iMaster NCE into the INCMP. Together, they built a "zero-error" autonomous network, delivering three major improvements. They are Pre-change predictive simulation, In-change precise control and Post-change visualized traceability.

Operation statistics have confirmed the platform's remarkable improvements: major incidents have been prevented, network migration efficiency has improved by nearly 60%, and user complaints have dropped to near zero. China Mobile Shandong has also incorporated the change simulation pass rate into the operation workflows of several critical network change scenarios, driving the province-wide standardization of network operations and maintenance.
