On October 6, at the 2026 Mobile Network Conference, Qualcomm President and CEO Anmon said that 6G will have native AI characteristics from the beginning of the design, so that AI can be integrated into the network itself. With network connectivity, contextual information can be continuously exchanged between the terminal, edge, and cloud. AI will be directly integrated into the wireless communication system, so that the system can predict changes on the basis of estimating channel conditions, and maintain performance even when the signal is weak. Computing will span the entire network, from base stations to network edges to data centers. In this way, AI computation and inference tasks can be distributed and executed on different nodes of the network. In September of this year, Qualcomm and China Mobile completed the world's first interoperability test for the U6G band base station prototype and 6G terminal prototype. The tests were carried out based on the latest 3GPP definition. Anmon said this is an important step for 6G from technology research to system verification. Qualcomm and China Mobile are also jointly promoting the development of AI-native network technology and new wireless communication capabilities, and the entire industry is moving towards the goal of starting commercial use of 6G in 2029.
