CTM Outlines AI-Driven Secure Network Vision at Network X 2026
The Macau operator detailed AGW and AI-based gateway capabilities, with an AGW 2.0 phase planned around automated optimization, per ZDNet Korea.
CTM used its keynote at Network X 2026 to set out a vision for network infrastructure it describes as intelligent, deterministic and secure, according to ZDNet Korea. The Macau telecom operator presented the plan during the industry event, where the conference's focus is on next-generation network architecture.
At the core of the presentation were AGW and AI-based broadband network gateway (BNG) capabilities. CTM says these features give networks intelligent service awareness and dynamic scheduling, allowing infrastructure to respond to traffic and service demands rather than operate on fixed rules.
The operator also mapped out an AGW 2.0 phase. In that stage, CTM plans to combine telemetry with AI-based analytics, shifting network operations from manual optimization to AI-driven automated optimization.
Quantum key distribution work with Huawei
CTM and Huawei have jointly worked on a target IP architecture that integrates quantum key distribution (QKD) with communications, the company said. The work ties into the operator's broader secure-network positioning outlined at the event.
Network X 2026 runs with CTM's keynote among its scheduled sessions, where the operator presented the combination of AI-based network control and QKD-backed security as part of a single infrastructure roadmap.
