Tecnotree Included as a Representative Provider in Gartner® Innovation Insight: AI SOC Agents Accelerate CSP SecOps Transformation

ESPOO, Finland - Wednesday, 31. December 2026

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tecnotree, a global digital platform and services provider for communications service providers (CSPs), today announced that it has been referenced as a Representative Provider alongside Google, Anthropic, Dropzone AI, DRUID, Palo Alto Networks, and Pegasystems in the Gartner® Innovation Insight: “AI SOC Agents Accelerate CSP SecOps Transformation,” published in December 2025.

The Gartner Innovation Insight examines the emerging role of AI-driven Security Operations Centre (SOC) agents in CSP environments, outlining how these agents are used to automate and augment security operations across signalling, core networks, RAN, Open RAN, and roaming domains. The research discusses use cases such as alert triage, investigation support, threat hunting, reporting, and operational oversight within complex telecom infrastructures.

According to the report, AI SOC agents are increasingly applied to support CSP security teams in managing high-volume operations, improving detection and response workflows, and addressing regulatory and resilience requirements, while continuing to rely on human oversight for critical decisions.

The Gartner report notes that adoption of AI SOC agents is expected to increase over the coming years as CSPs explore agent-based approaches to support security operations in multi-cloud, 5G, and Open RAN architectures.

UAE’s Medcare treats first international SMA patient with revolutionary intrathecal gene therapy

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates -

The newly licensed intrathecal gene therapy expands life-changing treatment options for children and adults affected by SMA

Medcare Women & Children Hospital has successfully administered a pioneering intrathecal gene therapy for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) to Hulus, a three-year-old patient from Turkey. This milestone positions Medcare among the first private healthcare providers worldwide to offer this innovative treatment to an older international patient, overcoming previous age and weight limitations.

SMA is a rare neuromuscular disorder that progressively weakens muscles responsible for movement and breathing. This newly licensed one-time therapy addresses the root genetic cause by delivering a functional SMN1 gene.

For Hulus, whose daily routine earlier depended on intensive physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, the procedure from Medcare offered a promising alternative to lifelong injections. His father, Mustafa, shared that despite years of rehabilitation, the therapy has renewed hope for greater independence and quality of life for his son.

“This is a defining moment for SMA care in the region,” said Dr. Shanila Laiju, Group CEO of Medcare Hospitals & Medical Centres. “Families whose children were previously ineligible for gene therapy now have access to a revolutionary treatment that can significantly improve outcomes. This reflects Medcare’s long-standing commitment to children with rare diseases, supported by specialised expertise and advanced infrastructure.”

Since 2020, Medcare has treated more than 180 children with SMA, welcoming families from Iran, Turkey, Nepal, Romania, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Lebanon, India, and Ethiopia, reinforcing Dubai’s role as a strategic global hub for medical tourism and paediatric genetic care.

“Older and heavier patients can now benefit from transformative therapy,” said Dr. Vivek Mundada, Consultant Paediatric Neurologist. “This shifts SMA care beyond infant survival toward preserving mobility, independence, and respiratory function in older patients.”

Medcare delivers SMA care through a multidisciplinary model encompassing neurology, pulmonology, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, genetic counselling, and long-term follow-up for international patients.

Aligned with the UAE’s medical tourism vision, Medcare, part of Aster DM Healthcare, continues to invest in advanced technologies, specialised units, and clinical talent to provide timely, high-quality care for rare and complex conditions, including Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Spain’s CESGA Selects IQM and Telefónica to Deploy Advanced Quantum Computing Infrastructure

 

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain -

IQM will deliver two full-stack quantum computers: a 54-qubits IQM Radiance system and a 5-qubit IQM Spark by June 2026.

The systems will support research, skills development, and industrial access to quantum computers across multiple sectors.

This will be the first installation of IQM quantum computers in Spain.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in deployed, on-premises computers, and Telefónica, a global telecommunications provider, have joined forces to sign a purchase agreement with the Galician Supercomputing Center (CESGA) to install two full-stack quantum computers in Spain.

Under the agreement, IQM will deliver and install a 54-qubit IQM Radiance, designed for integration into high-performance computing centres, together with a 5-qubit IQM Spark system dedicated to education. The systems are scheduled for delivery by June 2026.

The deployment will expand CESGA’s advanced computing capabilities and strengthen its role as a key national and European research infrastructure.

The systems will be used by the scientific community and made accessible to leading companies across multiple industrial and research sectors, enabling experimentation with hybrid workflows that combine quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing.

This will be the first installation of IQM quantum computers in Spain, positioning CESGA alongside leading European centres such as the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and Jülich in Germany, CSC in Finland, and CINECA in Italy, which are integrating quantum systems into national HPC environments.

The systems will be complemented by a new supercomputer, the Finisterrae IV, which will provide additional computing power to meet needs in artificial intelligence, among others, and a data storage system that will make it possible to permanently house large amounts of data and provide more advanced data services.

“Delivering production-grade quantum infrastructure into real HPC environments is central to IQM’s mission,” said Sylwia Barthel de Weydenthal, Chief Commercial Officer of IQM Quantum Computers. “By deploying our systems at CESGA, we are supporting the development of a practical quantum ecosystem in Spain and enabling researchers and industry users to begin meaningful experimentation with hybrid quantum-classical computing.”

“Quantum computing will become an important pillar of future digital infrastructure,” said Sergio Sánchez, CTIO Telefónica España. “Through this collaboration with IQM and CESGA, Telefónica is helping bring advanced computing capabilities closer to researchers and enterprises, while supporting Spain’s position in next-generation technologies.”
