China Mobile (中国移动) disclosed over 7 gigawatts of contracted AI data-center capacity, distinct from operational capacity.

China Mobile (中国移动) general manager Chen Yangfan (陈扬帆) disclosed more than 7 gigawatts of total signed AI data-center capacity at the September 12 conference. The source uses a contracted-capacity description: it does not establish that this entire power capacity is built, energized, or operating.

Chen described plans for gigawatt-scale data campuses aligned with the Eastern Data, Western Computing initiative (东数西算). The stated approach includes coordination between computing and electricity resources, alongside cross-regional compute operations.

The company also outlined plans for multiple ten-thousand-card AI computing centers, inference clusters, and a distributed inference network. The source does not specify the accelerator types or establish that these planned card-scale centers are all deployed within the reported 7-gigawatt contracted total.

On networking, the report describes a deployed 400G optical transport network (OTN) backbone and an intelligent internet identified as G-SRv6, claiming world-first and world-largest status respectively. It also lists three latency service tiers—1 millisecond metropolitan, 5 milliseconds provincial, and 20 milliseconds nationwide—but gives no contract-level power allocations, construction schedules, capital expenditure, or customer concentration.
