Today is the Great ShakeOut!

At 10:15 a.m. local time, millions of people practice "Drop, Cover, and Hold On." Most regions take part today, including the Southeast region (which covers Maryland and Virginia) and New Mexico.

A challenge for emergency managers and 911 centers: while you're drilling, test your backup communications too. If phones and internet are down, can you reach your EOC, your neighboring PSAP, and your field teams? Drills are the best time to find the gaps.

Register a drill (any day works):

Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills help people in homes, schools, and organizations worldwide improve preparedness and practice how to be safe during earthquakes. Register to participate in your state or country's drill at www.ShakeOut.org.

Happy 251st birthday to the United States Navy! ⚓

On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress established the Continental Navy. 251 years later, Sailors are still standing the watch around the world.

From our home in Southern Maryland, Cogito Innovations is proud to support Navy and Coast Guard communications and C4ISR integration. To every Sailor, veteran, civilian and family member who makes the Navy work: thank you, and happy birthday.

Meet the Wanderer Pro.

When storms, fires, or floods knock out local internet and cell service, emergency teams still need to send reports, run maps, and stay in touch. The Wanderer Pro is a rugged, portable broadband kit that pairs a Starlink Mini with 5G and channel bonding. It comes in a waterproof (IP65) case with a detachable dish, GPS, and built-in edge computing.

We built it for emergency management, disaster recovery, search & rescue, and field command: anywhere the network isn't.

Want to see one up close? We'll be in New Mexico and Virginia this month. Message us anytime!

It's Fire Prevention Week (Oct 4-10). NFPA's 2026 theme is "Charge into Fire Safety," and it's all about charging lithium-ion battery devices safely.

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere in public safety now: portable radios, phones, laptops, drones, and deployable comms kits like the ones we build. A few minutes on charging habits at your next shift briefing or station meeting is time well spent.

NFPA has free tips and materials here: https://www.nfpa.org/events/fire-prevention-week

Thank you to every firefighter and fire-prevention educator out there this week.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week focus on lithium-ion batteries works to better educate the public about how to charge safely.

Our thoughts are with everyone in Doña Ana County, New Mexico. On Tuesday, county commissioners approved a local disaster declaration after flooding caused more than $17 million in preliminary damage, and officials expect that number to rise.

Thank you to the emergency managers, road crews, utility workers, and first responders who have been working around the clock.

The Doña Ana County Office of Emergency Management has opened its online damage assessment portal. Residents who wish to report damage to property or businesses as a result of recent heavy rainfall and flooding may do so by visiting donaana.gov/DamageAssessment.

Looking back on 2025, the Cogito Innovations team had some significant accomplishments.

We grew, became more efficient & we strengthened our relationships.

Across conferences, deployments, and hands-on work, the focus stayed the same. Build reliable solutions, listen to feedback, and execute with discipline.

What stands out most are the people: engineers, technicians, interns, partners, and customers who challenged us to simplify, improve, and deliver without compromise.

2025 built momentum. 2026 will scale it.

We appreciate the opportunity to support mission-critical communications for our customers in collaboration with our partners, and we look forward to continuing this important work in 2026.

It has been a while since we highlighted the Wanderer Pro, so as we close out the year, let’s get back to the essentials.

At Cogito Innovations, engineering and integration are at the core of what we do. You may know us as the team that builds Starlink kits, but the reality is, it goes far beyond that.

We take pride in every kit we build, and here is the best part: our hardware is fully agnostic. Already have a Starlink Mini? The Wanderer Pro becomes a powerful, instant complement to your communications arsenal.

The Wanderer Pro supports:
• Up to three Active 5G SIM cards
• 16+ hours of battery life
• Multiple PoE ports
• Starlink (or other options as they become available!)

Bring it all together with Bondix, bonding all available connections into a single resilient link. The result is faster speeds, higher uptime, smoother performance, and mission-critical connectivity you can trust.

Built to integrate. Built to adapt. Built for the mission.

Huge shoutout to our good friend Michael Sutton and the T2S Solutions team for an outstanding showing at Night Owl 2025!

They delivered a seamless demonstration for DoD CIO Dr. Sonya McMullen and her staff. We were proud to have The Wanderer integrated as part of their solution.

The T2S Veracity IoT System of Systems brought together resilient timing, secure and agnostic data-flow management, and our own capabilities, including tactical RF backhaul, Wi-Fi, and Starlink connectivity.

Mike and his team showcased exactly why reliability, flexibility, and seamless integration matter in mission-critical environments.

At Cogito, that is what we aim to deliver for Mike and for all our partners:
- Systems that integrate into your existing infrastructure without requiring you to redesign what already works.

Whether it is tactical connectivity, resilient comms, or modular edge capabilities, our solutions adapt to the mission, not the other way around.

Proud of the collaboration, proud of the momentum, and always proud to support partners pushing innovation forward.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are grateful for another year of growth, strong partnerships, and meaningful work. We get to solve real problems for teams that serve, protect, and respond when it matters most, and that is something we never take for granted.

We are thankful for the people who push our mission forward every day, from colleagues to customers to the leaders who trust us to build systems that keep them connected.

We are especially thankful for our team, their families, and the dedication they bring day after day to make Cogito Innovations the incredible organization it is.

Wishing everyone a restful holiday and meaningful time with the people who matter most.
