Orange launches trusted AI, anti-drone & cloud tools

Wed, 18th Mar 2026

Orange Business has announced four new enterprise offers spanning trusted AI, secure communications, and sovereign digital services. They range from an anti-drone service to new collaboration tools hosted in its sovereign cloud environment.

The company unveiled the offers at the Orange Business Summit, which it said drew more than 1,000 customers. Orange Business positioned the launches as part of a broader portfolio focused on trusted cloud-based environments and AI-led services.

"We understand the pressures organizations face as they navigate complex and volatile market conditions," said Aliette Mousnier-Lompré, CEO of Orange Business. "Our commitment to our customers is stronger than ever: to help them build resilience and embrace the future with confidence. We aim to empower organizations to scale and innovate securely, enabling them to thrive amid uncertainty. In that context and at Orange Business, we believe that possibility starts with tech you trust."

Anti-drone service

One of the launches is Orange Drone Guardian, described as Europe's first anti-drone as-a-service offering. It focuses on detecting and managing low-altitude drone threats around sensitive sites.

Orange Drone Guardian detects, identifies, and classifies intrusive drones in low-altitude airspace across France. Orange Business plans to extend coverage to additional European countries.

The service targets operators of critical infrastructure, public authorities, and organisers of major events. Orange says it combines group-operated infrastructure with detection technologies delivered as part of the offer.

Trusted AI agents

Orange Business has also expanded its Live Intelligence platform with Live Intelligence Studio. It describes Live Intelligence as a plug-and-play generative AI platform, and says the new Studio product adds support for "trusted AI agents."

Live Intelligence Studio focuses on designing, deploying, and managing AI agents within Orange Business infrastructure. The system includes governance features for organisations deploying agent-based workflows.

Many large organisations are exploring agentic AI to automate processes across customer service, IT operations, and internal analytics. Vendors are competing on control, auditability, and data handling as the technology moves from pilots into production.

Sovereign collaboration

A third announcement was Live Collaboration, a suite of collaboration tools hosted on Cloud Avenue SecNum. Orange Business positioned it as a sovereign alternative for organisations seeking greater control over data location, architecture, and supplier dependence.

Live Collaboration includes messaging, calendars, document co-editing, video conferencing, and intranet functionality. Orange Business says the tools are modular but operate as a unified platform.

The product targets customers facing rising cloud costs, new digital vulnerabilities, and concerns about vendor lock-in. Orange says it operates the offer end to end and hosts it in its Cloud Avenue SecNum environment.

Voice and trust

The fourth set of updates relates to enterprise voice communications. Orange Business is adding AI-based features focused on trust in digital interactions, alongside changes aimed at contact centres and enterprise telephony.

New features include branded calling and deepfake detection, along with AI-augmented customer care and what it calls agentic telephony.

Telecoms operators and enterprise communications providers have been adding authentication and call branding services as phone-based fraud and impersonation attempts increase. Deepfake audio is also a growing concern for organisations that rely on voice for customer verification and high-value authorisations.

Broader portfolio

Orange Business describes itself as an operator, integrator, and platform provider, and said the summit featured demonstrations across connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity, and AI.

It also said 14 innovations were on show, alongside customer case studies and sessions focused on trusted AI, responsible innovation, and customer experience.

Orange Business is the enterprise division of Orange. The unit employs 30,000 people across 65 countries, the company said, and serves more than 30,000 business customers globally.

Orange reported 340 million customers across 26 countries as of the end of 2025, including MasOrange. The group reported revenues of 40.4 billion euros for 2025.

Further roll-outs are expected as Orange Drone Guardian expands beyond France and as Orange Business takes Live Intelligence Studio and Live Collaboration into wider customer deployments across its sovereign cloud footprint.
