TELUS and Fortanix launch Confidential AI solution with cryptographic protection on Canadian infrastructure

TELUS and Fortanix have launched a Confidential AI solution built on NVIDIA infrastructure, enabling Canadian organisations to train and deploy AI on sensitive data with cryptographic proof of protection. The solution, announced at NVIDIA GTC 2026, uses confidential computing technology to maintain encryption of data even whilst being processed by AI systems. The platform, hosted at TELUS Sovereign AI Factory, employs cryptographic attestation and secure key releases to create a verifiable chain of trust. Encryption keys are only released after successful verification of the trusted execution environment, ensuring proprietary models and sensitive data remain encrypted throughout training, fine-tuning and inference. The solution targets regulated sectors including healthcare, finance and government, where data exposure during AI processing has previously hampered innovation. It provides an auditable record that environments remain encrypted throughout the entire AI lifecycle.

Telus invests in AST SpaceMobile for satellite-to-phone service launch by late 2026

Telus has signed a commercial agreement and taken an equity stake in AST SpaceMobile, joining the race to provide satellite-to-phone connectivity across Canada. The partnership aims to launch service by late 2026, enabling Canadians to use unmodified smartphones for calls, texts and data in remote areas without traditional tower coverage. The deal positions Telus alongside Bell, which partnered with AST SpaceMobile last year, both leveraging the company's BlueBird satellites. Rogers maintains a separate partnership with SpaceX's Starlink network. Telus is investing in ground-based satellite infrastructure to secure its position in the direct-to-cell market. The technology targets Canada's vast geography and remote communities, aiming to provide seamless coverage from urban centres to isolated regions using existing smartphones.

Photonic and TELUS achieve world-first quantum teleportation over 30km commercial fibre network

Photonic Inc. and TELUS have achieved a world-first quantum teleportation demonstration over existing commercial fibre infrastructure. The Canadian companies successfully transferred quantum information over 30 kilometres of TELUS' PureFibre network, teleporting data into a matter-based quantum processor capable of storing and processing information. Unlike previous demonstrations that relied solely on photonic qubits, this achievement completed the transfer to a remote processing node, a critical capability for long-distance quantum networks and commercial-scale quantum computers. Photonic used its Entanglement First architecture, combining silicon-based qubits with native telecom band photonic connectivity. The expanded partnership will pursue quantum-secure networking capabilities and commercial quantum solutions, from quantum data centres to nationwide encrypted networks. Vancouver-based Photonic employs over 150 experts developing commercial-scale quantum computers and networks.
