Iquall Networks Wins Three TM Forum Catalyst Awards at DTW Ignite 2026

The company won one Best Moonshot Catalyst and two Outstanding Catalyst awards and reached the finals in a fourth Catalyst, its strongest result in three consecutive years of TM Forum recognition.

Miami, Florida – 26 June, 2026 – Iquall Networks, an expert in AI-Driven Network Automation for CSPs and ISPs through its MAT Suite portfolio, today announced that it won three Catalyst awards, one Best Moonshot Catalyst and two Outstanding Catalyst awards, at the TM Forum DTW Ignite 2026 ceremony in Copenhagen, and reached the finals in a fourth Catalyst. The wins came in a record edition that brought together 59 Catalyst teams, and the recognition spans four of the five Catalysts Iquall joined in the TM Forum 2026 program.

All three awards recognize work led by the Iquall Innovation Lab, the team driving the company’s Autonomous Networks innovation. The first was the Best Moonshot Catalyst in the Trustworthy AI and Data challenge, won with Zero Trust Agents for Autonomous Networks, developed alongside leading international operators. The Catalyst defines a vendor neutral, zero trust and fully traceable runtime that allows AI agents deployed over Autonomous Networks to operate safely, auditably and portably across domains and vendors.

A second award, the Outstanding Catalyst for TM Forum Asset Excellence, followed with E2E Multi Agent Smart Network CapEx, Phase III, developed with a group of operator champions. This third phase of the Catalyst reshapes how operators plan and invest CapEx, applying intent based orchestration across multiple network domains governed by specialized AI agents, with measurable impact on time to payback and planning risk. A third award, the Outstanding Catalyst for AI and Automation, recognized Agent Fabric: A2A-T Runtime, Phase III, built with more than 25 champion and participating organizations, consolidating an A2A-T runtime that enables specialized telecom agents to move from proof of concept into production with the traceability, observability and governance that real network operations require.

Iquall also reached the finals with Agentic network resilience and lead to quote using AI-driven digital twin, developed with multiple operator participants. The Catalyst addresses one of the most critical gaps in modern network operations, a cognitive inventory continuously reconciled against the real state of the network, capable of feeding digital twins for what if simulation and enabling a genuinely proactive assurance posture.

These results extend a trajectory that has been building for three consecutive years. Iquall won two Catalyst awards in 2024 and two more in 2025, together with several finalist placements, before reaching three wins in 2026 and bringing its total to seven TM Forum Catalyst awards in three years. Two storylines stand out across that arc. Agent Fabric has now been recognized in two consecutive editions, advancing from its Phase II award in 2025 to this year’s Phase III win as its A2A-T runtime matured from concept into a production grade capability. The Smart Network CapEx work completed an even longer climb, moving from finalist in 2024 and again in 2025 to a full award in 2026, a clean path from early promise to an industry recognized result.

Taken together, the results place Iquall’s contribution at the centre of the agenda its Innovation Lab has pursued over the past two years. Trusted multi agent runtimes, cognitive inventory backed by digital twins, closed loop assurance steered by intent, and zero trust governance for AI in production are the four corners of what Autonomous Networks require to scale beyond the proof of concept stage. Each recognition maps directly to the MAT Suite portfolio (MAT Framework, MAT T-Flow, MAT DarkOps, MAT ADN) and to the strategic pillars TM Forum defined for 2026: agentic AI, autonomous networks, closed loop assurance, intent based orchestration and zero trust.

“Three years ago we set out to prove that Autonomous Networks could move from vision to working systems, and DTW Ignite 2026 is the clearest signal yet that the strategy is paying off. Winning our first Best Moonshot Catalyst, alongside two Outstanding Catalyst awards in a record edition of the program, is recognition that belongs to an entire team and to the operators who built this with us. For our customers it means the agentic capabilities in MAT Suite are not a promise, they are validated, in production and ready to scale.” Matías Lambert, CEO and Co-Founder, Iquall Networks
