As connected devices grow more diverse, operators need deeper visibility to manage performance and security.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CUJO AI, a global leader in device intelligence, network intelligence, and cybersecurity for network service providers, today announced that it has surpassed four billion devices identified across its global deployments, adding another billion to its count in just two years.

The milestone points to a growing challenge for broadband operators: as the number and diversity of connected devices increase, delivering reliable connectivity is no longer only about monitoring the network. Operators increasingly need to understand what is connected, how each device behaves, and what kind of experience it requires.

Gaming consoles, security cameras, work laptops, smart televisions, and connected appliances all place different demands on the home network. Without accurate device-level context, operators have limited visibility into the causes of performance problems, the security risks present in the home, and the experiences individual customers are receiving.

"You cannot automate or optimize a network around devices you cannot identify," said Remko Vos, CEO of CUJO AI. "Broadband has traditionally been managed around connections, speeds, and network-level metrics, but customers experience connectivity through applications and devices. Understanding that context is becoming fundamental to improving performance, strengthening security, and delivering the right customer experience."

"As the leading broadband company in the country, Spectrum prioritizes understanding how devices interact with our network to ensure reliable service," said Dave Rodrian, Senior Vice President of Connectivity Products at Spectrum. "Device-level intelligence powered by CUJO AI is essential to delivering a consistent, high-quality connectivity experience for our customers and their devices."

CUJO AI uses artificial intelligence models to identify and contextualize connected devices, including their type, manufacturer, model, and operating system. Its technology currently recognizes more than 72,000 device models.

This visibility helps network service providers distinguish between device-related, Wi-Fi, application, and wider network problems. Operators can use this intelligence to diagnose issues more accurately, automate customer care, detect security risks, and adapt network performance to the needs of different devices and applications.

Device intelligence also provides a foundation for more proactive and autonomous network operations. By understanding which devices are connected and how they are being used, operators can move from reacting to customer complaints toward detecting and resolving potential problems before they affect the customer.

CUJO AI's device intelligence supports network optimization, proactive customer care, cybersecurity, digital parenting, and personalized services. Its technology is used by leading network service providers worldwide, including Comcast, Charter Communications, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, TELUS, Sky Italia, Sky UK, Rogers, Cox, Shaw, Videotron, BT and EE.

About CUJO AI

CUJO AI enables service providers to understand, serve, and protect consumers with advanced cybersecurity and granular network and device intelligence. The CUJO AI Intelligence platform gives service providers deep, continuous visibility into every connected device and network behavior from day one. CUJO AI Services delivers active security, digital parenting, and scam protection for service providers ready to monetize that intelligence with subscriber-facing products. Advanced AI algorithms help NSPs uncover previously unavailable insights to raise the bar for customer experience and retention with new value propositions and improved operations. Fully compliant with all privacy regulations, CUJO AI is trusted by the world's largest broadband operators, including Comcast, Charter Communications, T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, TELUS, Sky Italia, Sky UK, Rogers, Cox, Shaw, Videotron, BT and EE.

New solution helps agencies maintain a consistent, transparent, and defensible forfeiture process from initial seizure through final disposition

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnigo Software, a leading provider of public safety and security software, today announced the launch of Omnigo Asset Forfeiture Management, a new web-based application designed to help law enforcement agencies strengthen accountability across every stage of the asset forfeiture process.

As civil asset forfeiture receives greater legislative, judicial, and public scrutiny, law enforcement agencies face a higher burden to demonstrate that every seized asset has been handled properly throughout the process—from initial seizure through final disposition.

Meeting that expectation is leading agencies to treat asset forfeiture as a coordinated, agency-wide process rather than a series of separate property, legal, and financial tasks.

"Greater scrutiny is changing what effective forfeiture management looks like," said Kevin Lafeber, CEO of Omnigo. "Accountability now depends on an agency's ability to demonstrate what happened, when it happened, and who was responsible at every stage of the process."

Omnigo Asset Forfeiture Management provides a structured, end-to-end workflow for managing forfeiture activity. Beginning with the initial seizure, the solution helps staff maintain asset, evidence, and case information; monitor deadlines and required actions; create standardized legal documents; record financial activity; and document final disposition within one complete record.

By connecting information that might otherwise be maintained across separate systems and files, agencies can reduce repetitive data entry, improve coordination across departments, and respond more efficiently to reporting requirements, public records requests, and audits.

"Demonstrating accountability should not come at the cost of added administrative burden," added Lafeber. "Our goal is to make the work more manageable for the people responsible for it while helping agencies provide the transparency expected of them."

About Omnigo

Omnigo equips public safety and security professionals with intuitive, highly configurable software that helps protect the people and property around them safely and effectively. For more than 20 years, the company has delivered solutions across Corporate, Courts, Education, Gaming, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Public Safety environments. Omnigo solutions reduce manual, repetitive administrative work while providing the reliable information and actionable insights organizations need to strengthen accountability, planning, and operational readiness.

Supplementary financial disclosures

BetMGM has updated its financial disclosure practices, aiming to provide investors with more comprehensive and transparent information regarding its financial position and operations. These enhanced disclosures will include a more granular breakdown across different segments to provide greater insight into performance drivers.

Forward-looking statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve substantial risks and/or uncertainties, including those described in the MGM Resorts International public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. BetMGM has based forward-looking statements on management's current expectations, assumptions and projections about future events and trends. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, BetMGM's expectations regarding its financial outlook (including forecasted net revenues from operations, EBITDA, and expected distributions to Entain and MGM Resorts), projected market share position, its expected growth in new and existing jurisdictions, product capabilities, and achievement of key milestones. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Included among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements are: the significant competition within the gaming and entertainment industry; BetMGM's ability to execute on its business plan; changes in applicable laws or regulations, particularly with respect to iGaming and online sports betting; BetMGM's ability to manage growth and access the capital needed to support its growth plans; and BetMGM's ability to obtain the required licenses, permits and other approvals necessary to grow in existing and new jurisdictions. In providing forward-looking statements, BetMGM is not undertaking any duty or obligation to update these statements publicly as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. If BetMGM updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those other forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this press release we provide certain financial measures, including Net Revenue from operations, Contribution, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. BetMGM believes these measures, which it uses for its own analysis of operations, are useful to supplement the results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies, should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. BetMGM defines Net Revenue from operations as revenue, adjusted to reflect revenue related to certain operations on a gross basis, primarily related to the Company's Nevada digital and retail sports betting operations. If BetMGM presented Net Revenue from operations in accordance with GAAP, then BetMGM would present the revenues associated with its Nevada digital and retail sports betting operations differently, until such time as BetMGM is licensed as a Nevada gaming operator. Currently under GAAP, its calculation of Net Revenue would be on a basis net of operating costs, such that the GAAP reported Net Revenue would be lower than the Net Revenue reported herein, with net income remaining the same. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income or expense (net), income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted to add back the Parent Fees. We define Contribution as Net Revenue, less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and marketing acquisition spend.

Bluon Brings Deep HVAC Asset Intelligence to Contractors and Property Managers

Asset Manager will enrich basic equipment records with deep technical specifications, age & warranty status, original documentation, complete bill of materials and much more

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluon today announced the launch of Asset Manager, a new feature that enriches historical equipment records to help contractors and property managers uncover new value and revenue opportunities.

Unlike AI generated equipment specifications and intel, which is limited and subject to very high error rates, Bluon's proprietary dataset provides deep equipment intelligence that is 99.9% accurate covering more than 35 million unique model numbers across 270 OEMs dating back to 1980. Bluon can enrich the vast majority of historical equipment records with valuable intelligence, including full model specifications, equipment age, warranty status, original manuals + documentation, common problems, complete bill of materials, part specifications and replacement part options.

With deep and accurate intelligence on their customer equipment records, contractors can now create value for their businesses through lead generation, increased revenue opportunities, more profitable service contracts, smarter dispatching and improved first-time fix rates. Bluon's Asset Manager gives commercial and residential HVAC contractors an extraordinarily effective way to grow their business organically by mining their enriched customer equipment records.

Many contractors have thousands, or even millions, of model numbers and/or nameplate photos stored in their customer records with little to no additional information on each piece of equipment. Historically, these model numbers or unprocessed nameplate images provide virtually no value to their business, other than identification. Once enriched by Bluon's Asset Manager feature, contractors can efficiently plan inventory for maintenance + service agreements, identify customers with R-22 equipment that can be retrofitted, flag lower-SEER systems to target for an upgrade providing a favorable ROI or target customers and regions based on equipment types with certain specifications.

Asset Manager adds critical context to each equipment record using Bluon's enormous and QC'd brand-agnostic dataset. Contractors and portfolio managers can import historical equipment lists or provide Bluon access to their FSM account for auto enrichment, while technicians can add equipment to Asset Manager with each new job by capturing the new equipment's nameplate with a simple scan executed through the Bluon app, Bluon plugin or their native FSM platform.

"Every contractor who keeps historical records of their customers' HVAC equipment is sitting on a literal gold mine of opportunity to grow their business," said Peter Capuciati, CEO of Bluon. "Our new Asset Manager provides a near-instant way to unlock that value. You give us your list of model numbers and we return actionable intelligence on each piece of equipment that can help power your business for years to come."

Bluon enriches each unit against its proprietary database and provides system-specific information including equipment type, tonnage, refrigerant type and charge, efficiency rating, number of circuits, filter and belt sizes, compressor oil type, manufacture date, estimated warranty status, original manuals and wiring diagrams, original parts lists, cross-reference part options and common problems.

Asset Manager is available now to Bluon for Business customers. For more information, visit bluon.com/asset-manager

About Bluon

Bluon delivers unmatched value to the $150 billion HVAC industry, equipping contractors and technicians with a robust database and AI-driven guided tech support. By providing the right data and support at the right time, Bluon increases tech productivity, reduces mistakes + callbacks and enables contractors to maximize the proceeds from every job. Their deterministic AI platform simplifies the complexities of HVAC servicing for both field and office teams, addressing the industry's labor shortage while boosting revenue & profitability for residential and commercial contractors alike.

Capture6 Launches Project Tortuga in Western Australia, Demonstrating Scalable Water Recovery and Carbon Removal

Industrial-scale project brings new approach to brine management and water security to the region

PERTH, Australia, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Capture6 yesterday launched Project Tortuga, an industrial-scale facility in Western Australia that recovers freshwater from brine while capturing CO₂ from the air. Eight containerized units are now running as a single integrated system at the Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct near Perth, generating the operating data that will shape Capture6's first commercial facilities. The launch was marked with a ribbon cutting attended by Dan Bull MLA, Member for Maylands, representing the Hon. Amber-Jade Sanderson MLA, Minister for Energy and Decarbonization.

At Tortuga, Capture6's process runs at a scale that mirrors commercial operation. The data it produces on performance, energy use and product quality gives partners in water-intensive, hard-to-abate sectors a clear, measured view of what the technology can deliver.

Inflows into Perth's dams have fallen from an average of 420 gigaliters (GL) a year before the mid-1970s to about 76 GL a year since 2010, according to Water Corporation, and desalination now supplies around half of Perth's drinking water, according to the WA Government's Made Possible by Water plan. Industry is also a major source of demand, representing 46% of the state's water allocation.

"Perth's freshwater reserves and inflows now receive much less of the water they once did, and desalination is part of the suite of measures the WA Government is implementing to sustain water for the future," said Dan Bull MLA, Member for Maylands. "Project Tortuga shows how we can get more out of every liter we desalinate, while tackling climate change at the same time."

The water treatment processes that meet this demand produce large volumes of saltwater brine. At a typical recovery rate of 45%, every liter of freshwater produced by a seawater desalination plant leaves behind roughly 1.2 liters of concentrated brine. Across Australia, Capture6 estimates that desalination, energy and industrial processes generate up to 950 GL of brine each year. Treating that brine could unlock up to 470 GL of additional freshwater annually, equivalent to around 188,000 Olympic swimming pools, while creating the technical potential to remove approximately 15 million metric tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year. Tortuga is building the operating evidence needed to turn that potential into a scalable solution for industries and utilities across Australia, while contributing to the nation's legislated target of net zero by 2050.

"Australia needs new sources of water and new ways to remove carbon, and Tortuga shows both can come from the same system," said Ethan Cohen-Cole, CEO of Capture6. "What we're proving in Western Australia is built to scale, for partners here and around the world facing the same pressure on water and climate."

Every unit operation at Tortuga uses commercially available equipment, so scaling up is a matter of replication rather than redesign. Capture6 designs each project around a partner's specific brine, water and carbon challenges, and because the units are containerized, they can be deployed directly at partner sites and integrated with existing operations without disrupting them. CB&I served as primary engineering partner on Tortuga, leading front-end engineering design and supporting commissioning, while ATE / Huber fabricated the balance of the plant.

"Taking Tortuga from design through fabrication to commissioning meant engineering a plant that is ready to scale for commercial operation from day one. That's what gives future Capture6 partners confidence in the data the facility produces," said Scott Mclean, Operations Manager of CB&I.

Project Tortuga's support comes through Round 1 of the Carbon Capture Technologies Program, administered by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water as policy lead.

Beyond Tortuga, Capture6 is completing construction of the first phase of Project Monarch for Palmdale Water District in Southern California. The project will eventually turn roughly 2.6 million liters of brine a day from the district's purification facility into clean water, captured CO₂ and green chemicals. The full-scale project could save the district up to 40% compared with alternative brine management and eliminate the need for 68 hectares of brine ponds. Construction is scheduled to finish in early 2027, with operations expected to begin in the second quarter of next year.

Desalination plants, mine sites and industrial facilities across Western Australia produce brine that could become a new source of freshwater. Capture6 plans to bring its technology directly to partner sites like these, so future partners can build on the evidence generated in Perth rather than starting from scratch.

About Capture6

Capture6 is a water recovery company that turns desalination and industrial brine into freshwater, capturing carbon dioxide from the air in the process. Its approach uses commercially available, industrial-scale equipment and, when paired with desalination, can recover around half of the freshwater remaining in brine for drinking and industrial use. Capture6 has projects underway in Western Australia and California. The company is backed by investors including Tetrad Corp., which led the company's funding round, along with Hyundai Motor Group's ZER01NE Ventures, Energy Capital Ventures and Elemental Impact.
