Icetana AI wins $675,000 order through channel deal

Perth-based icetana AI, a company building self-learning security AI software for large-scale surveillance networks and SOCs, has received a $675,000 order for its Antara Core security AI software through Australian integrated property services provider Millennium Services Group.

The order is the ASX-listed company's third commercial sale of Antara Core in three months.

The initial contract runs for 60 months, with licensing commencing 1 November 2026.

Antara Core runs generative AI on a customer's own infrastructure, meaning video and operational data does not leave the customer's controlled environment. Capabilities include hazard detection - spills and trip hazards - as well as aggression and weapons detection.

Millennium, in which SoftBank Robotics holds a majority stake, is acting as channel partner for the deployment. SoftBank Robotics is also a strategic partner and significant shareholder in icetana AI.

The partnership gives icetana AI access to Millennium's footprint across major Australian venues and facilities, reaching enterprise customers the vendor's direct sales effort has not yet covered.

The end user - a national network of premium shopping destinations - represents an expansion pipeline for icetana AI should the initial deployment prove successful, the company said.

Antara Core's hazard detection capability was developed with direct input from Millennium's frontline operations teams, who manage incidents across major Australian venues.

Kevin Brown, chief executive officer at icetana AI, said three Antara Core sales in three months tells the company that its read the market right.

"Security teams want to bring the AI to the video, not send the video to the AI. Antara Core runs generative AI on the customer's own infrastructure, so no footage ever leaves the site, and a security control room gets that capability on the servers it already owns," he said.

“This order also shows what the Millennium and SoftBank Robotics relationship does for us at home. Millennium's footprint puts us inside major Australian facilities that would otherwise take years to reach."

Royce Galea, chief executive officer at Millennium, said the hazard detection capability inside Antara Core was shaped by years of frontline knowledge about what goes wrong in busy venues.

"Antara Core can also be configured to detect aggression and weapons, so the same platform that catches a spill before someone slips can flag a threat before it escalates," Galea said.
