Los Angeles – October 13, 2026 -- CUJO AI has identified more than four billion devices across its global deployments, adding its latest billion in just two years, the network intelligence and cybersecurity vendor announced.

Device diversity forces operators beyond network-level monitoring

Broadband operators face a growing visibility gap as connected devices multiply and diversify. Gaming consoles, security cameras, work laptops, smart televisions and connected appliances each place different demands on the home network. Without device-level context, operators have limited insight into the causes of performance problems, security risks in the home and the experience individual customers receive.

St. Louis – October 13, 2026 -- Omnigo Software has launched Omnigo Asset Forfeiture Management, a web-based application that tracks civil asset forfeiture from initial seizure through final disposition, as law enforcement agencies face heightened legislative, judicial and public scrutiny.

Omnigo builds a single end-to-end record for each seized asset

The workflow starts at the point of seizure. Staff can maintain asset, evidence and case information, monitor deadlines and required actions, create standardized legal documents, record financial activity and document final disposition in one complete record.

Scrutiny pushes agencies to run forfeiture as an agency-wide process

Agencies face a higher burden to show that every seized asset was handled properly. Omnigo says this is leading them to treat forfeiture as a coordinated, agency-wide process rather than a series of separate property, legal and financial tasks.

Fairfax – October 13, 2026 -- CGI Federal has released Momentum 8.4, making its financial, acquisition and budget management suite the first core financial system on the Treasury FM QSMO Marketplace to offer commercial-off-the-shelf integration with GO.gov, the federal travel management system. The release is available now to all federal agencies.

Momentum 8.4 adds conversational AI analytics through its analytics agent

Agencies can query and interpret data through AI-backed conversational analytics delivered via Momentum's analytics agent. CGI Federal says the release also streamlines business processes and helps agencies make better use of unused funds.

The fund-management upgrades include improved handling of unliquidated obligation (ULO) and unliquidated commitment (ULC) balances. Automated recommendations for credit card reconciliation are also included.

London – October 13, 2026 -- Movable Ink has launched headless marketing capabilities built on a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that exposes more than 50 APIs across eight Da Vinci domains, letting marketers run campaigns from external AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT.

MCP Server connects outside AI tools to Movable Ink execution

The server links external AI tools to Movable Ink while keeping execution context-aware and brand-consistent inside the platform. Marketers can use natural-language prompts to manage, schedule and proof content across all channels, and to manage and activate audiences and data.

Further functions include creating, reviewing, approving and managing creative, accessing brand assets and creative guidelines, and pulling campaign, creative and performance reporting.

Taipei – October 13, 2026 -- Gemtek Technology, Qualcomm Technologies and gFiber are targeting commercial deployment in 2027 for an AI-native Wi-Fi 8 broadband gateway, with gFiber set to be the first operator to roll it out. Gemtek is showing the device at Network X 2026.

Gateway runs on Qualcomm's Dragonwing NPro A8 Elite platform

Gemtek engineered the gateway on the Qualcomm Dragonwing NPro A8 Elite Platform. It combines Wi-Fi 8 Quad-Band connectivity with Edge AI computing. Software comes from Genix Networks, a Gemtek subsidiary.

The device is designed as a home internet hub and a local platform for agentic AI. It supports network optimization, device awareness, security and proactive management.

Zurich – October 13, 2026 -- Approximately 30% of monitored organizations experienced at least one fake IT support impersonation attempt through Microsoft Teams in the first half of 2026, according to Ontinue's 1H 2026 Threat Intelligence Report. The managed detection and response (MXDR) provider says attackers are gaining scale by exploiting trusted identities, collaboration platforms, software supply chains and routine business workflows rather than by building more sophisticated malware.

The findings draw on incident investigations, threat intelligence research and telemetry from Ontinue's Advanced Threat Operations team.

Paris – October 13, 2026 -- Orange has launched "Reconnexion Flash" in France, a service that moves a household's entire connection to the customer's smartphone hotspot when the fiber line fails. It runs on SoftAtHome's Always'ON software and needs no extra hardware.

Orange activated the service remotely for customers with the latest Wi-Fi 7 gateways, the Livebox 7 Wi-Fi 7 and the Livebox S. No hardware is shipped. Dedicated backup kit such as a 4G dongle or mobile router has been the usual fallback during fiber cuts or maintenance, and Always'ON removes that step.

Livebox detects outages and switches to the smartphone hotspot automatically

The Livebox detects the outage, connects to the smartphone's hotspot and keeps serving the home network. Laptops, tablets, smart TVs and connected devices stay online over Wi-Fi or Ethernet without reconfiguration.

Montreal – October 13, 2026 -- BroadForward's 4G routing (DRA/DEA) and Diameter Firewall are now live in the network of Terrestar Solutions Inc., Canada's only domestically headquartered and controlled mobile satellite operator, enabling mobile and IoT traffic to be routed between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks.

The deployment extends BroadForward's presence in satellite communications. It supports signaling interoperability between Terrestar's Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) infrastructure and national mobile networks.

Terrestar targets the 75% of Canadian landmass without terrestrial coverage

More than 75% of Canada's landmass lacks terrestrial coverage. By routing signaling between satellite and cellular domains, BroadForward's platform lets Terrestar extend coverage in both directions, supporting its aim to bring mobile connectivity to rural and remote communities.

Vienna – October 13, 2026 -- TCL showed its 5G AI CPE X5 at Network X 2026, a home broadband device with a theoretical peak downlink of 7.01 Gbps under 3GPP Release 18 and an agentic AI layer meant to cut operators' operations and maintenance workload.

8Rx antenna design lifts lab downlink throughput by up to 51%

The X5 combines four directional C-band antennas with up to 13 dBi gain and four omnidirectional C-band antennas. In lab testing, this 8Rx architecture delivered up to 51% higher downlink throughput than a 4Rx design. AI analyzes signal quality to help select the antenna configuration for better reception. For indoor Wi-Fi, AI-assisted signal-path selection, congestion detection and channel adjustment aim to keep connections stable.

Stockholm – October 13, 2026 -- Sinch AB has added Rich Communication Services (RCS) to its native integration with SAP Engagement Cloud, giving businesses on the platform a seventh messaging channel alongside SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, LINE, Viber and KakaoTalk.

Marketers can send RCS messages directly from SAP Engagement Cloud

Businesses using SAP Engagement Cloud can now create and send RCS messages to customers globally, where supported, without leaving their existing marketing environment. RCS supports branded and verified senders, rich media and interactive buttons inside the native messaging app on the customer's phone, which SMS cannot offer.

The integration is available only in markets where RCS Business Messaging is supported.
