    Fujitsu and PwC Japan partner on economic security measures for sovereign cloud solution

    Fujitsu Limited and PwC Japan Group (hereinafter PwC Japan) today announced a collaboration to enhance the reliability and accelerate market penetration of the Fujitsu Cloud Service powered by Oracle Alloy [1]. This partnership will focus on supporting compliance with the System for Ensuring Stable Provision of Critical Infrastructure Services under Japan’s Economic Security Promotion Act [2].

    Through this collaboration, Fujitsu and PwC Japan aim to develop a reference guide clarifying Fujitsu’s sovereign cloud service’s compliance status with the System for Ensuring Stable Provision of Critical Infrastructure Services [3]. The guide, set to be published in December 2025, will provide a practical framework for specified critical infrastructure operators in Japan to formulate and implement mandatory risk management measures, thereby reducing the burden of compliance and promoting cloud adoption.

    Based on Fujitsu’s sovereign cloud service, Fujitsu and PwC Japan will provide support for the design and documentation of cloud user-side risk management measures, tailored to the specific risk characteristics and operational requirements of each specified critical infrastructure operator [4]. In addition, the two companies aim to expand their collaboration into areas such as supporting compliance with the security clearance system, assisting with CSPM/CNAPP application [5] for apps on Fujitsu’s sovereign cloud service, and promoting the utilization of sovereign AI with data sovereignty and trustworthiness.

  • ST Engineering iDirect’s AI-Powered Network Analytics Platform Improves Customer Experience and Operational Performance

    ST Engineering iDirect’s AI-Powered Network Analytics Platform Improves Customer Experience and Operational Performance

    Anomaly detection use case will be demonstrated live with partner Q-KON at AfricaCom 2025

    Herndon, VA, 28 October 2025 – ST Engineering iDirect, a global leader in satellite communications, today announced its AI-powered network analytics platform proof of concept that enables operators to anticipate and resolve network issues before they escalate. This underscores how real-time insights, predictive analytics, and anomaly detection are reshaping satellite network operations. 

    ST Engineering iDirect’s platform leverages both historical and real-time data—such as weather patterns—to predict throughput, identify anomalies, and drive proactive interventions. By minimizing downtime and maximizing network reliability, it empowers operators to meet customers’ expectations and deliver exceptional service by ensuring uninterrupted connectivity. The platform will help operators cut operating expenses, streamline resource management, and transition from manual to autonomous workflows, driving greater customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

    “Our strategy goes beyond connectivity. We’re developing value-added applications that help our customers run smarter, more resilient operations and create a true competitive edge,” said Sridhar Kuppanna, CTO and SVP of Engineering at ST Engineering iDirect. “By enabling operators to resolve issues early, optimize resources, and boost workforce efficiency, our network analytics platform advances both business outcomes and customer satisfaction.”

    The platform was recently validated in a real-world use case. Q-KON, a leading provider of satellite communication solutions in Africa, utilized ST Engineering iDirect’s platform to detect anomalies affecting network performance. The early identification of a recent installation error allowed Q-KON to take corrective action and avoid service degradation, directly improving customer experience and operational performance.

    “The insights gained from ST Engineering iDirect’s network analytics platform will be transformative,” said Dr. Dawie De Wet, CEO of Q-KON. “The ability to predict and prevent issues before they impact service will raise our operational standards, ensure reliable connectivity for our customers and enable us to offer advanced service packages.”

    Live demonstrations of the platform will be hosted at Stand C63 during AfricaCom 2025, Nov 10-13, 2026. Register today.
