LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- uCloudlink Group Inc. (NASDAQ: UCL), a global leader in mobile connection technology, today unveiled its visionary PetPogo ecosystem at CES 2026. Dedicated to eliminating the "Pet People Divide," uCloudlink is moving beyond simple tracking to create a comprehensive "Safety-Wellness-Emotional Connection" loop. uCloudlink PetPogo Ecosystem Debuts at CES 2026 At the center of this launch are two revolutionary devices: PetPhone, the ultimate wearable for two-way communication, and the all-new PetCam, offering an immersive perspective into a pet's life. PetPhone: Redefining Connection - PetPhone leads the lineup as the industry's first wearable smartphone for pets. Moving beyond the limitations of traditional trackers, PetPhone enables real-time, Two-Way Call & Care, allowing owners to speak directly to their pets to soothe separation anxiety from anywhere in the world. Supported by AI Wellness Monitoring and Precision Positioning, PetPhone transforms passive monitoring into active, voice-based companionship. PetCam: See the World Through Their Eyes - Complementing the audio connection is the new PetCam, a 25g lightweight wearable camera designed to serve as both an Action Cam and a Smart Monitor. It captures both an immersive 1st-person Point of View (POV) for adventures and a 3rd-person view for monitoring. Some features include: Visual Bonding: PetCam allows owners to see their pet's daily adventures firsthand, bridging the visual gap when they are apart. Privacy & Care: Designed with a focus on "care" rather than "surveillance," PetCam integrates with the PetPogo app to share moments of joy without compromising privacy. It empowers owners to monitor their pets' care, tracking daily behavior to better understand their pets' lives. The Complete Link: When paired with PetPhone (or the PetPhone C+ Suite), owners can now "Listen, Speak, and See," initiating two-way communication for proactive care and in-depth bonding. This creates a complete sensory bridge that makes pets feel like true family members, even remotely. PetPogo: PetPhone & PetCam PetPogo — Safety, Wellness, Emotional Connection "We believe connection is a fundamental right for every family member, including our pets," said Jeff Chen, the CEO and Co-Founder of uCloudlink. "By combining PetPhone's voice capabilities with PetCam's visual insights, we are closing the Pet People Divide, so no pet ever feels alone." Empowering this ecosystem is uCloudlink's patented CloudSIM technology.

BEIJING, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 29, China's Ministry of Natural Resources released a survey report on the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan Dao. Based on this report, CMG Voice of the South China Sea released the ecological documentary An Unfading Commitment: Why Huangyan Dao Needs Protection. This latest report, spanning four decades from 1985 to 2025, draws on data from over 60 research voyages, and integrates 16 years of satellite remote sensing data. It shows that the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve is generally in good condition. The documentary An Unfading Commitment: Why Huangyan Dao Needs Protection presents audiences with the healthy and lush seagrass, as well as the rare and endangered wildlife freely inhabiting the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve, such as the Green Turtle, Hawksbill Turtle, and Spotted Eagle Ray. At the same time, the film conveys scientists' concerns: threats represented by the fourth global coral bleaching event are ever present. This survey also identified the presence of a small number of crown of thorns starfish in the waters around Huangyan Dao, and the risk of future outbreaks cannot be ruled out. Today, more than 2,500 marine protected areas involving coral reefs have been established worldwide. The establishment of Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve is undoubtedly a solemn commitment made by the Chinese people, in the hope that it will inspire more people to help maintain and enhance the diversity, stability, and sustainability of the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan Dao. https://vscs.cri.cn/20251229/d487c6b7-8724-4ad6-bf75-968c8dcac4cc.html An Unfading Commitment

SINGAPORE, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This October, Marina One hosted a meaningful Mental Wellness Month event in the heart of Singapore's CBD. HICC Pet was pleased to participate as one of the contributing partners, offering pet-supported interactions to enhance the community wellness initiative. Marina One is a mixed-use development in Marina Bay, comprising Grade-A office towers, luxury residences, and a retail podium. One of its signature features is the Green Heart, a biodiverse garden courtyard designed as an urban sanctuary. As a hub for major corporate offices with a strong focus on sustainability and community engagement, Marina One provided an ideal environment for this wellness initiative. The event was built on a simple belief: when pets feel clean and comfortable, they naturally help people feel at ease — a small but meaningful way to support mental clarity in a high-pressure work setting. To prepare for the event, HICC Pet recruited 12 volunteer dogs from our community through social media outreach. Across the two sessions, more than 50 participants — including office tenants, residents, and public visitors — joined the experience, reflecting strong interest in mindful pet-and-human wellness. Attendees spent guided time with the volunteer dogs, enjoying moments of emotional relief while exploring HICC Pet's gentle cleaning solutions through hands-on demonstrations. Using HICC Pet glove wipes, participants were able to interact safely with the dogs, creating shared moments of comfort and relaxation for both humans and pets. This reinforced HICC Pet's mission that wellness can begin with simple, caring routines that strengthen the bond between people and their pets. The campaign also achieved wide digital and on-site visibility through Marina One's building media, tenant outreach channels, and lobby screens, helping to raise awareness of the value of pet-supported wellness within the community. Online, the event continued to gain traction, supported by strong follower engagement (83%) and extensive story-driven amplification. Building on this momentum, HICC Pet will be launching its Membership Program this November. The HICC Pet Membership Program turns customers into a loyal community, connects our online and offline worlds, and strengthens our mission of helping pets live cleaner, comfier, healthier, and happier. Visitors can register at https://sg.hiccpet.com/pages/club-introduction and enjoy member-exclusive benefits such as a free birthday gift, home grooming class, and venue rental discounts. We also welcome everyone to visit the Marina One HICC Pet showroom to experience even more member perks. Contact:marketing.sg@hiccpet.com
