During MWC Shanghai 2025, CAICT and China Mobile successfully held the industry roundtable entitled 5G-A-powered differentiated experience monetization. At this meeting, GSMA, China Mobile, and Huawei jointly launched the Intelligent Packet Core Foundry 2.0 to chart a new chapter for experience monetization together with global partners.
GSMA Foundry is the go-to hub for cross-industry collaboration and business development, championing the value of connectivity. It brings together GSMA members and telecom industry partners to quickly develop real-world solutions to industry challenges, to nurture new ideas through commercial trials, and to scale up proven solutions globally for a more digital future.
In 2024, GSMA joined with industry partners such as China Mobile to set up the Intelligent Packet Core GSMA Foundry project. They completed case studies of experience guarantee scenarios, such as mobile gaming and live streaming. These had been put into commercial use in Chinese pioneer provinces. During MWC 2025 in Barcelona, they released the intelligent packet core network white paper, and the industry partners won the MWC GSMA Foundry Excellence Awards 2025. Meanwhile, the convergence of 5G-A and AI is accelerating the pace of experience monetization, perfectly timed with the start of GSMA Intelligent Packet Core Foundry project 2.0.
"Intelligent Packet Core Foundry 2.0 will use its current achievements to attract more operators and industry partners to participate. It will also promote innovative research based on 5G-A and AI technology in terms of network construction, commercial use, and ecosystem", said Faisal Zia, Director of GSMA Foundry. "Besides this, it will explore more business scenarios, solutions, and success cases for experience monetization based on network intelligence. This will help operators monetize experience and achieve business successes."
At the end, Faisal Zia announced the official launch of Foundry 2.0 and invited more global partners to join them as they move into the era of experience monetization.
