Reston, VA – October 1, 2025– Intelligent Waves (IW), a veteran-owned systems integrator delivering mission-focused cybersecurity, cloud, and secure communications solutions to the Department of Defense (DoD), announced today that its Chief Technology Officer, Marqus Hutchinson, will speak at TechNet Europe 2025, taking place October 1-2, in Rome, Italy.
Hutchinson’s presentation, “Ephemeral Partner Collaboration Environments (EPCE): Tactical Zero Trust for Coalition Communications” will explore IW’s groundbreaking approach to enabling secure, agile collaboration among allied forces in multi-domain operations.
Presentation Focus
Hutchinson will outline how EPCE brings Zero Trust to life by enabling mission-ready, ephemeral collaboration environments that can be spun up anywhere, anytime. EPCE delivers:
- Data-free collaboration with no information stored locally, eliminating risk from lost or compromised devices
- Obfuscated, resilient, multi-path routing across SATCOM, LTE, and commercial networks, ensuring survivable communications in denied or degraded conditions
- Secure, real-time exchange, encrypted voice, chat, and file-sharing, maintaining trust across diverse coalition partners
- Rapid operational deployment within hours, meeting urgent coalition mission timelines
By combining Ubiquitous Hidden Core (UHC), Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI), and encrypted collaboration tools, EPCE provides a field-ready solution aligned with the DoD’s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) imperatives for secure, time-sensitive information exchange with allied forces.
Why It Matters
In an era of great power competition, the ability to collaborate securely across untrusted coalition networks is a mission-critical requirement. EPCE addresses key challenges such as data residency restrictions and risks from residual data, enabling:
- Rapid coalition formation
- Trusted, on-demand communications
- Resilient intelligence fusion and coordinated responses in contested environments
“Coalition trust and information advantage depend on the ability to collaborate securely across untrusted networks in real time,” said Marqus Hutchinson, CTO of Intelligent Waves. “EPCE gives warfighters and partners the ability to form trusted coalitions within hours, while protecting mission-critical data and improving operational agility.”
