Circles, a global digital telecom software company, and Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, have recently signed a strategic collaboration agreement to explore the joint delivery of AI-native, next-generation digital telecom solutions for operators worldwide.
Under the agreement, the parties will explore strategic integration across key telecom domains including charging, policy control, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent automation.
As part of this collaboration, Circles and Huawei will assess potential integration between Huawei’s policy and charging capabilities and Circles’ digital BSS SaaS platform. This includes enabling:
โข Real-time monetisation through advanced charging and policy orchestration
โข AI-driven policy optimization to dynamically manage network resources and service quality
โข Intelligent customer lifecycle management powered by data-driven automation and personalisation
By combining network intelligence with digital customer engagement and monetization capabilities, the integrated solution aims to help operators launch innovative services faster, optimize revenue streams, and enhance customer experiences in increasingly competitive markets.
“Telecom operators are at an inflection point where AI is no longer optional – it is foundational,” said Sanjay Kaul, Chief Revenue Officer at Circles. “Together with Huawei, we’re combining network expertise and our AI-native digital BSS to help operators accelerate monetization and deploy intelligent services at scale.”
Alex Kang, Huawei Cloud Ecosystem President, expressed appreciation for Circles’ decision to work with Huawei and highlighted Huawei Cloud’s extensive experience in the telecom industry. “Huawei Cloud has been deeply engaged in supporting telecom operators’ digital transformation worldwide. We look forward to working with Circles to develop joint solutions and bring Circles’ products onto the Huawei Cloud Marketplace. 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.”
Scalable, Sovereign-Ready Deployments
The parties will also explore deploying Circles’ SaaS platform on Huawei Cloud environments. This approach is designed to support scalable, secure, and sovereign-ready AI workloads, enabling telecom operators to meet regulatory, data residency, and performance requirements across diverse markets.
Leveraging Huawei’s cloud infrastructure and Circles’ AI-native digital stack, both parties aim to work together toward an integrated end-to-end, network-to-digital architecture that supports rapid service innovation, automation at scale, and operational efficiency.
Exploring Joint Go-to-Market Opportunities
In addition to technology collaboration, Circles and Huawei may explore joint go-to-market initiatives to position an integrated network-to-digital stack solution for telecom operators globally. This includes jointly engaging operators seeking to modernize legacy systems, deploy AI-enabled capabilities, and transition toward fully digital, software-driven operating models.
This strategic collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing intelligent telecom infrastructure and accelerating the industry’s evolution toward AI-native operations.
