2026 CVAI AWARDS | CHANNELVISION AI LEADERSHIP AWARDS AI Innovation AireSpring AireSpring’s AIreCONTROL IT Service Management Platform was built specifically to address the challenges of multi-vendor global connectivity and redefine how enterprises monitor, manage and optimize global networks. Introduced in 2023 and expanded in 2025, the platform combines AIOps, machine learning and real-time telemetry correlation to create an intelligent ecosystem that automates complex network management across 190-plus countries and 265-plus carriers. Its ability to learn, predict and act across diverse infrastructures raises the bar for telecom-grade AI platform innovation. By fusing automation, analytics and human expertise, AIreCONTROL transforms traditional NOC operations into an intelligent, self-optimizing system. CieloVision CieloVision is an AI-powered spatial intelligence platform that’s designed to transform existing security cameras into real-time operational and revenue insight. The platform continuously interprets live visual data, analyzing presence, movement, dwell patterns and contextual signals in real time to identify operational inefficiencies, customer flow challenges and revenue-impacting conditions as they emerge. Integration with the Samsung VXT digital signage platform means CieloVision can automatically adapt menus, promotions or messaging based on present conditions. This closed-loop connection can enhance operational awareness by triggering immediate staffing or process adjustments, while intelligent signage can influence customer purchasing decisions. Designed for environments such as family entertainment centers, retail and quick-service restaurants, the platform will be generally available in 2026 through Samsung’s PIRS marketplace. Granite Telecommunications Granite AI Invoice Analyzer brings AI-powered intelligence to AccessExpress, Granite’s carrier-neutral platform that enables businesses to compare, customize and order network solutions across multiple providers. AI Invoice Analyzer introduces AI to the network sourcing and quoting experience. The self-service quote tool allows customers to upload existing telecom invoices and generate competitive, real-time quotes. Automating data extraction and analysis from structured and unstructured invoices helps remove friction from sourcing workflows while improving accuracy and consistency. The self-service approach also helps accelerate sourcing cycles while reducing reliance on manual review and back-and-forth communication. AI Invoice Analyzer turns invoices into actionable intelligence that identifies opportunities for lower-cost, higher-speed or more flexible connectivity. At launch, it supports broadband, dedicated internet access and Starlink, with additional connectivity options in development. Palomarr Palomarr is a procurement-as-a-service platform that makes enterprise software procurement free for buyers. At its core is AIpowered search that matches a company’s business needs against a proprietary database of vendor capabilities, features and market positioning to deliver personalized recommendations in seconds. In January, the company launched Palomarr Insights, featuring Palomarr Orbit, an interactive supplier visualization that maps vendors onto concentric rings, focusing users toward best-fit matches. Via the Orbit Shift feature, users describe their requirements, and AI re-ranks the chart in real time. As matches sharpen and surface with labels, non-matches fade into the background, and the rings re-center around a personalized cluster, transforming a static industry chart into a dynamic tool built around the user’s needs.
