To strengthen China’s digital security defenses, the 15th Five-Year Plan Outline has designated quantum technology as a strategic future industry.

CTM and Huawei have jointly launched the world’s first integrated QKD-communication target network. Innovative QKD-communication integration combines the quantum, negotiation, and communication channels into one, while seamlessly integrating communication and quantum networks into a single network to create a next-generation communication network foundation with quantum security. The network will serve as a shield against quantum computing threats for core and sensitive services such as government office, financial transactions, and critical infrastructure, ensuring end-to-end secure transmission of critical services.

Mr. Poon Fuk Hei, CEO of CTM, stated that as a core enabler of Macao’s digital and intelligent transformation and a trusted guardian of its communication security, CTM has long been dedicated to building and strengthening local communication networks. It has been a key driver behind the evolution and real-world deployment of the network foundation powering Digital and Intelligent Macao. He added that, aligning with national strategic goals and Macao’s regional digital security needs, CTM has proactively deployed a local quantum-secured network foundation, fully accelerating the adoption of cutting-edge quantum security technologies in Macao.

Leon Wang, President of Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line, stressed that security and resilience is one of the three defining characteristics of IP bearer networks. He noted that in the realm of quantum security—a crucial subset of security and resilience—Huawei has maintained continuous investment and innovation across hardware, software, algorithms, and more. For example, Huawei pioneered the industry’s first router with built-in QKD. This innovation helps operators to reduce TCO by over 60%. This empowers CTM to build a quantum-secured network foundation featuring QKD-communication integration, providing robust security assurance for the digital transformation and core data transmission of government and enterprise customers.

Looking ahead, CTM and Huawei will continue to deepen their strategic partnership in industrial development and technological innovation, designing products specifically for quantum-secured private lines while accelerating their deployment on live networks. Meanwhile, leveraging Macao’s unique geographical advantages and technical expertise, the two companies aim to drive collaborative development, technological innovation, and practical applications of the quantum security industry within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, ultimately safeguarding the high-quality development of the region’s digital economy.

xMentium extracts data from complex documents to build the AI-ready data foundation enterprise intelligence depends on, discoverable in the OneLake Catalog and ready to use across Microsoft Fabric.

BARCELONA, Spain, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — xMentium, a Document Intelligence company that transforms unstructured enterprise documents into structured, AI-ready knowledge assets, today announced it is alongside IQ Sharing in Microsoft Fabric, a new data and intelligence sharing capability unveiled at the European Microsoft Fabric Community Conference (FabCon) in Barcelona.

The most valuable enterprise data rarely lives in a database. It sits in contracts, engineering drawings, P&ID diagrams, inspection reports, manuals, and correspondence, locked in formats that traditional pipelines cannot read. Extracting it has meant specialized connectors, custom pipelines, and thousands of hours of curation before a single insight reaches a business user.

IQ sharing in Fabric removes that barrier. For existing xMentium customers, it’s the fastest path to the data they’ve already built. They discover xMentium in the Microsoft Fabric OneLake Catalog, connect and share using zero-copy technology the extracted output of their xTract pipeline, available as structured data, directly into their own OneLake tenant. Once in their own OneLake, customers can use the data with their favorite tools, like Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Copilot, and Fabric Data Agents. The result is a durable, AI-ready data foundation rather than a one-off extract. Enterprises can build a curated, continuously refreshed layer of structured intelligence from their own documents and make it available across business units and partner ecosystems, all within Fabric and all governed by the policies they already trust.

“Across capital-intensive industries, the intelligence behind major investment and project decisions is buried in engineering documents, technical drawings, and decades of inspection and maintenance records, and that’s exactly where generic AI breaks down,” said Mike Kochanik, Vice President, Global Service Providers at xMentium. “RAG fails at the retrieval step when it can’t identify the right document, version, or table. IQ sharing in Microsoft Fabric changes the economics of fixing that: customers discover xMentium in the OneLake Catalog and pull structured, governed data from their xTract extraction pipeline into their own Fabric workspace as zero-copy assets, so AI starts from a known fact instead of re-interpreting a scanned page on every query. The result is lower token cost, more deterministic answers, and value that accrues to the customer’s operations, not the model.”

“IQ sharing in Microsoft Fabric is about meeting customers where their data already lives and letting them bring more of it into OneLake without moving or copying it,” said Dipti Borkar, Vice President, Microsoft IQ and OneLake. “xMentium helps organizations put their entire data estate to work for analytics and AI by turning unstructured documents into a structured, AI-ready data shared seamlessly via IQ Share that customers can discover and leverage in OneLake.”

xMentium’s integration with IQ sharing in Fabric will be available to Microsoft Fabric customers in the OneLake Catalog. Teams attending the European Microsoft Fabric + SQL Community Conference in Barcelona can see the capability demonstrated live. To learn more, visit xmentium.com.
