Huawei said a CTM keynote at Network X in Vienna explored AI-based device monitoring and shared cyber defenses as potential carrier services, with no CTM launch date announced.
Companhia de Telecomunicações de Macau (CTM), a Macao carrier, delivered a keynote at Network X 2026 in Vienna, according to Huawei. Huawei’s recap said the presentation covered artificial intelligence tools that analyze patterns in device activity, alongside pooled defenses against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, intrusions and phishing. It described those services as possibilities for carriers to explore across the industry.
Huawei said providers could prepare bundled defenses for customers within days. It also presented cybersecurity as a possible service business that could generate revenue for carriers. The account did not announce a CTM customer launch, quote prices or identify customer commitments for the security offer.
The wider plan includes a future AGW 2.0 phase for automated network tuning, which EconoTimes covered in an earlier report. Huawei gave no deployment date for that phase.
A separate announcement on Sept. 29 said CTM and Huawei had launched a joint IP network that integrates quantum key distribution (QKD). The companies described the project as the first of its kind and said CTM planned quantum-secured private lines for government and enterprise customers.
SDxCentral explained that QKD uses quantum signals to exchange encryption keys, while ordinary network links carry customer traffic. It also reported that the September announcement lacked figures on the network’s scale, link distances and how quickly it can generate keys.
Huawei tied the broader security effort to AI services’ need for reliable, low-latency networks and to potential quantum-computing risks for conventional cryptography. Neither the October keynote account nor the September announcement set a launch date for the security bundles or the planned private lines.
