Tencent Cloud and Treeal Partnership Brings Next-Gen PalmAI Service to Brazil

SÃO PAULO, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Treeal, a Brazilian fintech company specializing in innovative payment solutions for businesses, today announced the partnership with Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of leading global technology company Tencent, to introduce the advanced PalmAI Service to the Brazilian market. Designed to outperform traditional biometric methods, including fingerprint and facial recognition, the new system offers a secure, contactless, and highly accurate alternative for payment processing and access control.

Across several Asian markets, Tencent Cloud's PalmAI Service is also already driving efficiency and elevating user experience in diverse scenarios. For example, in Tencent's own buildings, the biometric readers are ubiquitous at every entrance, allowing employees and visitors to have instant access with no identification failures. The solution has also been tested in a variety of practical environments — including high-traffic transit locations (such as subway stations and bus stops), retail self-checkout experiences, private events, and other real-life access and identity verification scenarios.

Globally, the system supports more than 50 million active users conducting over two billion transactions annually. Treeal's implementation delivers industry-leading performance, allowing user identification in less than 300ms, with a false acceptance rate of less than 0.0000001% (1 in 1 billion operations) and a false rejection rate of 0.01%.

"Biometric systems like this aren't just about security—they redefine the user experience by making it faster, simpler, and more intuitive," says João Santos, CEO of Treeal. "Brazilians are known for embracing innovation early, and we believe palm-based biometrics could become mainstream within the next five years."

Commenting on the partnership, Eric Li, Director of AI Global Commercialization at Tencent Cloud, said, "We're excited to see our PalmAI Service makes its way to Brazil through Treeal. This is a market known for its innovation appetite, and we believe this technology will play a key role in shaping the future of secure, frictionless transactions—not just in payments, but across smart access and urban mobility."

Tencent Cloud's PalmAI Service brings unmatched AI-based precision

The palm scanner can identify the unique vein patterns beneath the skin—appearing as dark lines—which remain distinct even between identical twins. It reads the lines, contours, creases, and skin textures such as pigmentation and calluses, which are unique to each person, to ensure unmatched precision.  Each scan is completed within milliseconds and requires neither a card nor a smartphone. All data is tokenized and encrypted, with no actual images of users ever stored.

Palm recognition addresses many shortcomings associated with fingerprint and facial recognition systems, including vulnerability to spoofing, reduced accuracy with certain demographics, environmental constraints, and hygiene concerns. While fingerprint scanners can be fooled by 3D-printed silicone replicas and facial recognition may struggle with poor lighting, occlusions, or distinguishing between similar-looking individuals (such as twins), PalmAI Service offers a more robust and reliable solution.

As biometric technologies continue to evolve, Treeal aims to position Brazil at the forefront of secure, frictionless transactions—ushering in a new era of intelligent identity verification.

Tencent Cloud and Treeal Partnership Brings Next-Gen PalmAI Service to Brazil

TROMSO, Norway and MADRID, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) and Xoople have entered into a partnership under which Xoople has selected KSATlite, KSAT's fully automated Ground Segment-as-a-Service, to support the deployment and operation of its pioneering constellation of satellites.

KSATlite was launched in 2016 to give satellite operators standardized, scalable access to the ground. Ten years on, it supports missions ranging from single satellites to large constellations with an average contact success rate above 99.8%. Xoople is building Earth's System of Record™, a continuously updated representation of physical change across the planet.

By combining trusted Earth data, scalable cloud infrastructure and advanced AI, Xoople's end-to-end system creates a foundation for organizations to understand, monitor and respond to change across the natural and built environment. The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into government and enterprise systems, workflows and AI applications, transforming complex geospatial data into operational intelligence at global scale.

Through the partnership, Xoople will use the global KSATlite network, including new sites, to support the downlink of large volumes of Earth observation data and enable rapid delivery of information from space to users on the ground.

The collaboration will also drive the continued development of the KSATlite service. To support the requirements of Xoople's program, KSAT is adding new ground station sites and developing two key capabilities together with Xoople: faster delivery of data from the ground station to the cloud, and new service endpoints that let operators further automate their own operations. These capabilities will become part of the standard KSATlite service and benefit future customers across the network.

"Through our collaboration, Xoople has challenged us with ambitious requirements that continue to drive the development of KSATlite, including faster data delivery and increased automation capabilities. Because KSATlite is a standardized service, these enhancements will strengthen the offering available to future customers across the network. We look forward to continuing the partnership as the program progresses," says Marte Indregard, President and CEO of KSAT.

"Reliable, scalable access to Earth data is a critical part of building the infrastructure behind Earth's System of Record. By working with KSAT and its global KSATlite network, we are strengthening the data supply chain that enables us to continuously capture, process and understand physical change on Earth. This partnership helps ensure we can support the scale, frequency and reliability required to deliver trusted intelligence into enterprise workflows and AI-driven decision-making," says Fabrizio Pirondini, CEO of Xoople.

The partnership represents an important milestone for both organizations, bringing together Xoople's ambition to build Earth's System of Record ™with KSAT's global ground segment expertise. Together, they are helping establish the infrastructure needed to transform Earth data into a trusted enterprise asset, powering operational intelligence, automation and AI-driven decision-making around the world. For KSAT, the partnership extends both the reach and the capabilities of the KSATlite network, strengthening its ability to support high-volume Earth observation missions in the years ahead.
