Deploy Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist across any telephony environment

New standalone offering extends Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist beyond Zoom Phone, bringing AI-powered call handling capabilities to any existing phone system

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) today announced a standalone offering for Zoom Virtual Agent (ZVA) Receptionist, enabling organizations to add an AI-powered front desk to their existing phone system without requiring Zoom Phone, helping organizations improve customer responsiveness, extend business availability, and capture more opportunities.

For many businesses, inbound calls are opportunities to win a customer, book an appointment, or strengthen an existing relationship. Yet according to research, 71% of consumers find calling a business more stressful than the issue they’re trying to resolve, and 50% say they would switch to a competitor after a single bad experience.

With Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist, organizations can provide fast, always-available customer assistance through natural, conversational AI that answers calls, assists customers, and routes inquiries around the clock. With support for more than 10 languages, built-in live transcription, appointment scheduling, and intelligent call routing, Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist helps businesses deliver responsive customer experiences while enabling employees to focus on the conversations that matter most.

“Businesses shouldn’t have to replace their phone system to benefit from AI,” said Chris Moss, general manager of Zoom Phone. “Every inbound call is an opportunity to serve a customer or nurture a prospect. With the standalone Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist offering, organizations can quickly add an AI-powered front desk to their existing systems, helping them answer more calls, respond faster, and stay available around the clock.”

Extending AI Receptionist capabilities beyond Zoom Phone

Originally introduced as part of Zoom Phone, Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist is now available across existing business phone systems, making it easier for organizations to adopt AI without changing their communications infrastructure.

Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist helps organizations:

  • Answer and greet every caller with natural, conversational AI in multiple languages.
  • Resolve common customer needs by answering business questions, scheduling appointments, and providing after-hours support.
  • Connect customers to the right person with intelligent call routing and seamless handoff when human assistance is needed.

Organizations can now add an AI-powered front desk without changing their existing phone system, making it easier to improve customer responsiveness while preserving existing technology investments and avoiding major migrations.

Whether supporting a retail store, healthcare practice, law office, or growing small business, Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist helps ensure every caller receives timely, professional assistance while enabling employees to remain focused on serving customers.

Helping organizations capture every opportunity.

Since every inbound call has the potential to generate new business, appointments, or revenue, responsiveness is key to maintaining a competitive edge. During busy periods, after hours, or when employees are focused on helping customers in person, businesses often struggle to respond as quickly as customers expect.

By bringing AI receptionist capabilities to existing phone systems, Zoom is helping organizations improve responsiveness, extend business availability, and create better first impressions without disrupting the technology they already trust.

Available now

Standalone Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist is available for purchase online beginning today, starting at $29.99 USD per month/100 minutes, or $24.99 USD per month/100 minutes with annual billing. To learn more, visit Zoom.com.

Organizations can also explore Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist through a free trial program available to both new and existing customers.

EarthDaily Constellation Entering Commercial Operations with Successful Launch III

EDC-08 launched aboard SpaceX Transporter-17 as EarthDaily releases first imagery from EDC-02 through EDC-07; commercial operations expected later this year.

EarthDaily EDC-08

EarthDaily EDC-08 secured on SpaceX Transporter-17 Mission July 7, 2026

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EarthDaily today announced successful initial contact with EDC-08 following its launch aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-17 mission on July 7, marking Launch III for the EarthDaily Constellation and bringing the system to the satellite count required for commercial operations.

Like each spacecraft in the EarthDaily Constellation, EDC-08 carries 16 imagers collecting data across 22 spectral bands, giving the system the spectral depth and imaging capacity needed to support consistent, comparable measurements across regions, seasons, and time.

The announcement builds on the May deployment of EDC-02 through EDC-07, which are now progressing through commissioning and returning initial imagery. Released alongside today’s announcement, these images provide an early view of performance across multiple satellites.

“EDC-08 reaching orbit and establishing initial contact is another important step in the disciplined deployment of the EarthDaily Constellation,” said Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily. “With eight satellites now in orbit, seven progressing through commissioning, and initial imagery returning from the May launch, the system is performing as expected.”

The newly released images offer a look at the consistency and detail the EarthDaily Constellation is designed to deliver. While calibration and validation work continues, they show multiple satellites contributing to a common measurement system built for reliable broad-area monitoring and repeatable analysis at scale using AI and Machine Learning.

“The EarthDaily Constellation is engineered for data consistency,” added Osborne. “Variability in atmospheric conditions, viewing geometry, and sensor calibration can introduce noise that compounds across time-series analysis and makes data harder to trust in AI workflows. EarthDaily addresses this at the system level through tightly controlled geometric and radiometric calibration, high signal-to-noise ratios, and spectral alignment with Sentinel and Landsat archives, helping to ensure the resulting data is ready for any AI application for Earth monitoring and that detected change reflects real-world events.”

Purpose-built for broad-area change detection, the EarthDaily Constellation is designed to deliver globally consistent, calibrated daily measurement of the planet. EDC imagery, optimized for time-series analysis and direct integration into AI workflows, is designed to work with EarthDaily’s automated change detection analytics to identify meaningful change across wide areas, from aircraft and ships in harbors to roads and infrastructure, and help customers decide where to focus attention next.

This approach moves Earth observation beyond static imagery and toward decision-centric intelligence. As EDC-08 reaches orbit and additional satellites prepare for launch, each step advances the constellation toward daily global land coverage as a continuous measurement layer for monitoring change at scale across defense and security, agriculture, natural resources, climate resilience, and infrastructure.

About EarthDaily

EarthDaily is a global Earth observation company focused on delivering science-grade data and analytics designed for broad-area change detection and decision-centric intelligence. With the EarthDaily Constellation, the company is building a foundation for daily, globally consistent Earth intelligence to support governments and enterprises operating in complex, high-impact environments.

Business travellers are carrying the office everywhere they go, according to Holafly for Business’s latest research

Corporate eSIMs for Business Travel Holafly

A modern professional stays securely connected on the go. According to Holafly for Business, 81.3% of travellers report a positive impact on productivity when using a corporate eSIM. Today, business travel is about carrying your entire working environment with you.

DUBLIN, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The modern business trip looks very different from the one most companies designed their travel policies around. Airports have become workspaces, hotel lobbies double as meeting rooms, and international travel no longer offers a pause from the working day. Today, work travels with business travellers.

New research from Holafly for Business suggests this shift is fundamentally changing what professionals need when they are on the road. While internet access remains essential, business travellers increasingly prioritise secure, reliable access to the digital tools they use every day instead of relying on unsecured public Wi‑Fi networks. Security now stands as the defining priority when staying online abroad, overtaking both speed and coverage. More than four in ten business travellers identify secure internet access as their top priority, reflecting the growing importance of accessing enterprise systems, cloud platforms and sensitive corporate data while travelling internationally.

According to Holafly’s Summer Travel & eSIM Report 2026, business travellers now represent almost one in five international travellers. Yet the profile of this group is changing rapidly. More than half are under the age of 35, while the proportion aged over 45 has fallen by 7.4 percentage points compared with the previous year. The findings suggest that a new generation of professionals is changing expectations around flexibility, technology and how work is done while travelling.

The report also reveals that connectivity challenges are no longer merely an inconvenience. An overwhelming 86.5% of business travellers report having experienced stress caused by connectivity issues while travelling. For younger professionals, digital-first solutions such as eSIMs have become the preferred option, while older travellers continue to rely more heavily on traditional roaming services.

The impact extends beyond convenience, directly affecting performance. Among travellers whose companies provide a corporate eSIM, 81.3% report a positive impact on productivity, compared with 61.2% of those using traditional corporate roaming solutions and 52.4% of employees who arrange connectivity themselves. The ability to access work securely and seamlessly from the moment a traveller arrives may play a larger role in productivity than many organisations currently recognise.

“Business travel used to be about getting from one place to another. Today, it is about carrying your entire working environment with you,” said Alex Bryzowski, VP of Holafly for Business. “Professionals are expected to respond and make decisions wherever they are in the world. What our research shows is that they need the confidence to work securely and effectively from anywhere.”

As work becomes increasingly distributed and international travel more integrated into everyday business operations, organisations may need to rethink how they support employees on the move. The modern business trip is defined not by the destination, but by the ability to work securely, productively and without interruption from anywhere in the world.

The Champion Behind Champions

This widespread adoption signals a fundamental shift in what robotics competitions measure, from “who can build the robot” to “who can make the robot smarter.” In past years, teams spent much of their R&D resources building the robot itself from scratch, with significant effort going into mechanical design, hardware development, and basic locomotion control. This year marked a clear inflection point: leading teams focused almost entirely on pushing the boundaries of perception, real-time decision-making, and multi-agent coordination, while Booster Robotics served as the underlying platform, continuing to advance the robots’ core leg and foot locomotion capabilities, improving reliability in high-speed running, sudden stops and turns, fall recovery, and sustained motion. This separation of hardware and software lets complex code perform reliably in the real world.
