📅 - Macquarie Asset Management has completed its acquisition of IHS Towers' South American tower operations, taking control of more than 8,700 sites in Brazil and 250 in Colombia. The deal gives the infrastructure investor a larger position in Latin American telecom assets as operators face sustained data growth, network upgrades and continuing pressure to fund coverage expansion.
The transaction moves a sizable chunk of Brazilian wireless infrastructure from a listed tower operator into a privately managed infrastructure fund.

📅 - Cato Networks Adds Agentic Defense to Mitigate AI-Assisted Attacks - Cato Networks has launched Agentic Threat Prevention, software designed to predict how AI assisted attackers could move through customer environments and automatically deploy tailored defenses before those attacks progress. The capability combines network, security and threat intelligence data inside Cato's cloud platform, extending the industry's accelerating effort to match machine speed attacks with increasingly autonomous defensive systems.
For enterprise security teams, the significant change is not another AI layer analyzing alerts. Cato wants software agents making decisions about probable attacker behavior and translating those predictions into protections specific to a customer's [...]
📅 - QumulusAI Explores New Economics for AI Infrastructure Capacity - QumulusAI is testing an unusual commercial model for AI infrastructure, combining conventional GPU rental fees with a share of customer trading profits under an agreement supporting an autonomous hedge fund. The arrangement introduces performance-linked economics into cloud infrastructure while avoiding direct exposure to investment losses, potentially creating a different revenue profile for idle AI compute capacity.
The agreement pairs QumulusAI's Blackwell-based AI infrastructure with a customer operating what the company describes as a fully agentic hedge fund. Instead of relying solely on human portfolio managers, the fund uses specialized AI agents to continuously discover, [...]
📅 - Firmus Lands $2B to Expand AI Factory Capacity Across APAC - Australian AI infrastructure company Firmus has secured commitments for a fully subscribed $2 billion equity financing, strengthening investor backing for its AI infrastructure strategy as demand for large-scale compute continues to reshape capital allocation across the data center industry. The funding supports accelerated AI factory deployments in Australia while preparing expansion into broader Asia-Pacific markets, where capacity shortages persist today.
The financing adds another signal that investors remain willing to commit significant capital to companies building physical AI infrastructure rather than developing foundation models themselves. While software companies continue [...]
📅 - GTT Adds API Automation for Service Ticketing and Connectivity Quotes - GTT Communications has expanded API access across its Envision platform, giving enterprise customers, wholesale providers and technology services distributors new ways to automate ticketing and connectivity quotes inside existing systems. The additions cover service assurance across GTT products and real-time quoting for broadband, fixed wireless and dedicated internet services, with Ethernet support available for wholesale partners globally.
The change is less about exposing another developer interface than reducing the amount of networking work still handled through portals, email and manual service desks. GTT is targeting two areas where friction is expensive: incident handling and [...]
📅 - DartPoints Details Lexington Data Center Redevelopment - DartPoints is seeking to recast the redevelopment of a Lexington, Kentucky data center as local infrastructure rather than hyperscale expansion, responding to community concerns with promises of limited water use, lower noise and no new transmission lines. The operator says the former IBM site will retain existing utility infrastructure while generating $2 million in annual property taxes.
The distinction DartPoints wants residents and local officials to make is largely one of scale. The company operates regional facilities serving businesses, hospitals, schools, banks, manufacturers, universities and government agencies across the Midwest and Southeast. Its Lexington plan, it says, [...]
