Story

At MWC Barcelona, Huawei launched three ACN capabilities: digital identity management for agents, dynamic group communication with network-level privacy enforcement, and collaboration task session management. They also open-sourced A2A-T (Agent-to-Agent for Telecom), a protocol for agent communication over telecom infrastructure. This positions telecom networks as the trust/identity/routing layer for multi-agent systems — a fundamentally different architectural bet than cloud-centric approaches. Huawei | TelecomLead
