AI-driven solution paves the way for self-healing, autonomous networks HERNDON, Va. , March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ST Engineering iDirect, a global leader in satellite communications, today announced the launch of Intuition Foresight, an advanced orchestration and management suite designed to deliver AI-driven network intelligence and unified control across multi-vendor, multi-platform, and multi-network environments. The solution advances the company's Intuition strategy and marks a significant step toward the realization of self-healing, autonomous networks. Intuition Foresight addresses the industry’s persistent challenges in managing the complexity of integrating diverse satellite systems and is designed to support operators at every stage of their modernization journey. (PRNewsFoto/ST Engineering iDirect) Intuition Foresight addresses the industry's persistent challenges in managing the complexity of integrating diverse satellite systems and is designed to support operators at every stage of their modernization journey. The single pane of glass interface layers on top of existing infrastructure, incorporating third-party vendors and applications while leveraging AI and automation, without disrupting current operations. Its modular design enables incremental upgrades, parallel network operations, network convergence, and smooth migration, ensuring a customer-centric approach to decision-making and timelines. The solution is built upon three vital functional areas that are requirements for modernization and advanced network operations: Simplified Configuration Management To accelerate service delivery, Intuition Foresight adopts a single pane of glass interface that centralizes network and service management, streamlining configuration and provisioning. Its standardized, declarative APIs convert service priorities into precise network configurations, reducing manual effort and enhancing operational efficiency across diverse environments. Its compatibility across multiple ST Engineering iDirect networks and third-party systems unlocks the full potential of applications such Global Bandwidth Management, delivering greater value throughout the unified ecosystem. Observability and Data Infrastructure Intuition Foresight unifies network data and events from every deployed element into a centralized data lake. The solution prepares, correlates, and enriches this data with third‐party inputs and contextual intelligence to create a normalized, AI‐ready dataset. This foundation powers real‐time visualization, advanced analytics, and deeper operational insights. AI-Driven Automation By applying advanced AI models, Intuition Foresight aims to shift networks from reactive responses to predictive and proactive operations. With 360° closed-loop automation, the solution is designed to detect anomalies, diagnose issues, and recommend mitigation actions before end-users are impacted. Building on recent customer trials and proofs of concept, ST Engineering iDirect is actively developing a suite of applications for root cause analysis, anomaly detection, and threat monitoring, which will be integrated into the solution as it evolves. "With Intuition Foresight, we are addressing the modernization challenges of our customers by combining advanced AI capabilities with our deep domain expertise in satellite communications," said Sridhar Kuppanna, Chief Technology Officer at ST Engineering iDirect. "This approach simplifies complex operations and gives operators a clear path to express the full potential of their networks by bringing together intelligent automation with predictive insights that shift operators from reactive to proactive management." Intuition Foresight positions operators for the next era of satellite networking. By enabling networks to self-diagnose and self-heal, the suite minimizes downtime, improves service reliability, and enhances user experiences. Through multiple AI-driven proofs of concept, ST Engineering iDirect is showcasing how intelligent automation can transform operational models across commercial, mobility, and government markets.

Now that Epic Games and Google have made up — or at least found a way to resolve their long-running disputes — everyone with a compatible Android device can get back to the business of playing Fortnite . The game will return to the Play Store globally on March 19, the same day that the next Fortnite season goes live. It previously dropped back onto the Play Store in the US in December. Google pulled Fortnite from the Play Store back in 2020 after Epic tried to bypass the 30 percent cut of all in-app purchases that the storefront too. Apple did the same thing with the App Store version of Fortnite . Epic swiftly sued Google and Apple , kickstarting years-long legal battles with both companies. No matter where you are, we’ve got you covered. Fortnite is back on Google Play. 3.19.26: https://t.co/8M0MjZcvDI pic.twitter.com/QWyR1TEJzX — Fortnite (@Fortnite) March 17, 2026 The dispute with Apple ultimately led to the company having to open up the App Store in certain markets, including the US and EU. Fortnite returned to the App Store in the EU in 2024 and in the US last year . Google and Epic reached a settlement in November. Earlier this month, Google announced that it was lowering the cut it takes of in-app payments from 30 percent to between 10 and 20 percent. At that time, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney (who reportedly agreed not to publicly talk smack about the Play Store until 2032 as part of the settlement) confirmed that Fortnite would return to Google's mobile storefront. Epic recently announced a price increase for the in-game V-Bucks currency. It also confirmed that Fortnite Save the World — the game's original mode — is going free-to-play in April .

FIFA is turning to streaming platforms to maximize its return on the 2026 World Cup. Two months after announcing a "Preferred Platform" partnership with TikTok , the organization has now struck a similar deal with YouTube. Broadcasting rights are FIFA’s largest revenue stream for the tournament — and media companies pay top dollar for that access. So, deals like this with streaming platforms help sweeten the package for broadcasters looking to boost their reach. What does that look like for those watching from home? FIFA says its media partners will have the option of streaming "a select number of matches in full" on their YouTube channels. They can also live-stream the first 10 minutes of every match, presumably serving as a hook to coax viewers to finish the match on television. In addition, FIFA's media partners will get access to "every angle" of match footage to craft custom content. "As the world's attention turns to the action in Canada, Mexico and the United States, this collaboration with YouTube reinforces our ambition to maximise the tournament's impact across the ever-evolving media landscape," FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström said. He says the partnership will offer "fans everywhere easy access to an immersive view of the biggest single-sport event in history." The World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19. Matches will take place in 16 cities across Canada, Mexico, and the US.
