As multimodal AI agents, intelligent wearables, AI-enhanced calling and embodied systems continue to mature, the role of connectivity is evolving. Rather than operating solely as a background utility, network performance is becoming more closely linked to perceived service quality and user experience. This paper, developed by the GSMA Mobile AI Community (MAIC), explores the network capability evolution required to support this transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile AI use cases exhibit characteristics that differ from traditional downlink-dominant traffic models. Many AI-driven interactions involve sustained uplink data transmission, tighter latency expectations, and more interactive service loops. Multimodal agents depend on responsive communication for conversational and contextual interaction. Wearable AI devices rely on consistent coverage and efficient connectivity to support \u201calways-on\u201d sensing and cloud-assisted processing. Emerging embodied AI applications may require more stringent latency and reliability targets, particularly in industrial or safety-relevant environments. These trends collectively suggest a shift toward more balanced uplink\u2013downlink design and improved performance predictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response, the paper highlights the importance of enhanced uplink capability (\u201cGigaUplink\u201d), improved latency consistency, and broader coverage as core enablers for AI-oriented service delivery. Through coordinated spectrum use across frequency bands, deployment of Massive MIMO, scheduling optimisation, and closer terminal\u2013network\u2013cloud integration, operators can incrementally move from best-effort models toward more performance-assured service frameworks. While requirements will vary by scenario, the overall direction points to a multi-dimensional capability model encompassing uplink capacity, latency stability, coverage depth, scalability and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a commercial perspective, Mobile AI may create opportunities to evolve beyond purely volume-based pricing. AI-enhanced calling features, scenario-based performance tiers, wearable service bundles, and enterprise-grade deterministic connectivity represent potential revenue pathways. However, sustainable monetisation will depend on the ability to align clearly defined service outcomes with measurable and verifiable network performance metrics, avoiding generic performance claims in favour of transparent capability mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transition toward AI-enabled mobile ecosystems therefore requires coordinated technical, commercial and standards alignment. By strengthening uplink capabilities, improving latency determinism, and developing structured links between service experience indicators and network performance metrics, the industry can support emerging AI applications while maintaining operational realism and commercial sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2
