Intelligent Waves to highlight decision advantage in contested edge environments at SOF Week 2026.

Intelligent Waves to highlight decision advantage in contested edge environments at SOF Week 2026. Intelligent Waves will showcase capabilities that preserve trusted data, resilient communications, and mission partner collaboration at the tactical edge. RESTON, Va., April 21, 2026. At the tactical edge, adversaries do not need to take down the network to disrupt the mission. They can degrade communications, undermine trust in the data, and force hesitation at the moment decisions matter most. That threat environment will shape Intelligent Waves' presence at SOF Week 2026, taking place May 18-21 in Tampa, FL. Intelligent Waves will highlight capabilities designed to help special operators and commanders maintain clarity, coordination, and decision advantage in those environments at Booth #1313. The exhibit will center on a simple operational requirement: protecting trusted data and communications to preserve decision advantage in contested environments. At SOF Week 2026, Intelligent Waves will showcase EPCE, GRAYPATH(R), Phantom(TM), LiFi, STRIKE, and Peak Neuro, aligned to mission needs including network survivability, secure collaboration, and contested edge operations. "In contested operations, trusted data is not a support function. It is a mission requirement," said Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves. "When communications are degraded, and trust in information breaks down, operators lose time, clarity, and coordination. Our focus at SOF Week is to show how Intelligent Waves helps operators and mission partners maintain clarity, collaboration, and decision advantage under pressure." For defense and national security audiences operating in degraded and distributed environments, the Intelligent Waves exhibit demonstrates how communications resilience, trust in data, and mission partner coordination come together in contested environments. Rather than treating communications, data trust, and coordination as separate problems, the company shows how they converge in missions where speed and confidence are critical. SOF Week attendees are invited to visit Booth #1313 to meet with the Intelligent Waves team and explore technologies built to support mission execution where resilience, trust, and operational clarity matter most.

Intelligent Waves' EPCE wins Gold in 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.

Intelligent Waves' EPCE wins Gold in 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. Recognition highlights a secure mission-partner collaboration platform built for contested, coalition-driven operations RESTON, Va., March 26, 2026. Intelligent Waves announced that its Ephemeral Partner Collaboration Environment, EPCE, received Gold in the Secure Collaboration Platform category in the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, a recognition that underscores the company's focus on secure, mission-ready collaboration for defense and intelligence environments. Intelligent Waves' EPCE was recognized for addressing a growing operational challenge across modern missions: How to enable secure, rapid collaboration among distributed mission partners when communications are contested, infrastructure is limited, and the risk of exposure is high. Built for coalition and operational environments, EPCE provides an ephemeral, zero-trust collaboration capability that helps users quickly establish secure enclaves without relying on static infrastructure or traditional enterprise collaboration models. The platform incorporates identity-based controls, continuous authentication, just-in-time and just-enough access policies, and integrated multi-path encrypted transport across SATCOM, LTE, and ISP pathways. "Today's mission environment demands more than secure communications. It requires trusted collaboration at speed," said Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves. "EPCE was designed to help mission partners connect, share, and act with confidence in environments where cyber risk, operational pressure, and degraded conditions are the norm." Marqus Hutchinson, Intelligent Waves' Chief Technology Officer, added: "EPCE can deploy secure collaboration enclaves in under two hours, eliminate endpoint data persistence, reduce hardware-associated attack surface, and improve interoperability across mission partners while supporting faster decision-making in high-risk environments. The recognition is particularly relevant as defense organizations continue to prioritize secure partner collaboration to support CJADC2, the Mission Partner Environment, and Agile Combat Employment objectives. In those settings, the ability to create a trusted shared environment without leaving behind a large technical footprint is becoming increasingly important. Rather than adapting commercial collaboration tools for operational use, Intelligent Waves developed EPCE specifically for mission volatility, distributed operations, and contested conditions. The platform's zero-footprint architecture is designed to support secure collaboration while reducing the likelihood of detection and interception. The award adds to Intelligent Waves' profile as a provider of secure, mission-focused technology solutions for national security customers operating in complex cyber and operational environments. It will demonstrate EPCE solutions during the upcoming SOF WEEK 2026 conference.
