Under the agreement, both companies will assess integration across charging, policy control, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent automation areas where telecom operators have historically relied on legacy systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parties will evaluate deploying Circles&#8217; SaaS platform on Huawei Cloud environments to support the release&#8217;s description of sovereign-ready AI workloads. That structure is intended to help operators in regulated markets meet data residency and compliance requirements without sacrificing performance. It&#8217;s unclear if financial terms were disclosed; neither company published figures alongside the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--palette-color-9)\">\n<p><em>Telecom operators are at an inflection point where AI is no longer optional\u00a0 it is foundational. Together with Huawei, we&#8217;re combining network expertise and our AI-native digital BSS to help operators accelerate monetization and deploy intelligent services at scale.<\/em><br>Sanjay Kaul, Chief Revenue Officer, Circles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Kang, President of Huawei Cloud Ecosystem, said the company intends to bring Circles&#8217; products to the Huawei Cloud Marketplace as part of the collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--palette-color-9)\">\n<p><em>Through joint marketing and market expansion, we aim to create greater value for operators and achieve a true one-plus-one greater-than-two collaboration<\/em>.<br><em>Alex Kang, President of Huawei Cloud Ecosystem<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The move comes as global telecom operators face sustained pressure to shift away from hardware-heavy operating models toward software-defined, AI-driven architectures. Circles, founded in 2014 and backed by Peak XV Partners, Warburg Pincus, and Founders Fund, currently partners with operators across 14 countries, including KDDI Corporation, Etisalat Group (e&amp;), AT&amp;T, and Telkomsel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both parties signed the agreement at Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC26). The companies said they may also pursue joint go-to-market initiatives targeting operators seeking to replace legacy systems with fully digital, software-driven operating models, though no timeline for those initiatives was specified in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-palette-color-9-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2dc3209f8c9da853fece23cd54fb4a0b\"><em><strong>Disclaimer: <\/strong>This news is based on information available from publicly accessible sources, including official <a href=\"https:\/\/circles.co\/in-the-loop\/ai-native-digital-telco-solutions-huawei-circles-strategic-collaboration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">press release<\/a> issued by Circles and Huawei. <\/em><br><br><strong>MORE ON AI PARTNERSHIPS<\/strong>: <br><a href=\"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/nebius-meta-27b-deal-highlights-big-push-in-ai-infrastructure-expansion\/\"><strong>Nebius-Meta $27B Deal Highlights Big Push in AI Infrastructure Expansion<\/strong><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/micron-buys-taiwan-fab-to-meet-surging-ai-chip-demand\/\"><strong>Micron Buys Taiwan Fab to Meet Surging AI Chip Demand<\/strong><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/sp-global-buys-enertel-ai-for-power-price-forecasting\/\"><strong>S&amp;P Global Buys Enertel AI for Power Price Forecasting<\/strong><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/ibex-partners-with-hnl-to-deploy-ai-in-cancer-diagnostics\/\"><strong>Ibex Partners With HNL to Deploy AI in Cancer Diagnostics<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The agreement combines Huawei&#8217;s cloud and network infrastructure with Circles&#8217; digital BSS SaaS platform to help operators accelerate monetization and automate service delivery at scale.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[103,94],"tags":[344,196],"class_list":["post-5241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ai-now","category-news","tag-circles-huawei","tag-global"],"blocksy_meta":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5241"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5245,"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5241\/revisions\/5245"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nervnow.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
