KSAT Delivers Integrated Mission Services for Kongsberg’s N3X Satellite Constellation for Norway’s Maritime Domain Awareness

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following KONGSBERG’s announcement of an expansion of its N3X maritime surveillance constellation, Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) highlighted its role as the operational backbone of the program, delivering Integrated Mission Services (IMS) for one of Norway’s most strategically important space capabilities.

The N3X satellites, developed and deployed by KONGSBERG, already provide maritime surveillance data to Norwegian authorities. KSAT is responsible for satellite operations, mission planning, global ground station access, data processing, and data delivery.

As KONGSBERG expands the constellation to meet increasing operational requirements, KSAT’s IMS provides the scalable operational infrastructure needed to support continued growth, high availability, low latency, and secure delivery of mission data.

“The N3X satellite constellation demonstrates the strength of KSAT’s Integrated Mission Services, enabling satellite owners to scale efficiently, reduce operational overhead, and ensure robust, secure and resilient performance across expanding fleets,” said Eivind Kristoffersen de Badts, vice president of satellite operations at KSAT.

KSAT’s Integrated Mission Services: The Core of N3X Operations

The N3X constellation relies on KSAT’s operational infrastructure, including:

• KSAT’s world-leading global ground station network: Provides high-rate downlink, reliable command uplinks and low-latency tasking through one of the world’s most extensive polar and mid-latitude station networks.
• Satellite operations and monitoring: KSAT’s satellite operations team controls the full N3X fleet, ensuring safe operations, anomaly resolution, routine monitoring and optimized constellation performance.
• Mission planning: KSAT conducts mission planning and scheduling, coordinating passes, contact windows and tasking to meet operational requirements from data users.
• Data processing and delivery: Mission data, including AIS and radar-based maritime detection data, is processed and delivered through KSAT’s operational data pipelines for immediate use by customers.

End-to-End Capability Through the KONGSBERG Partnership

The N3X program is delivered through KONGSBERG’s end-to-end space capabilities, including advanced payloads, satellite platforms from Kongsberg NanoAvionics, integrated mission services from KSAT, overall system integration and secure data delivery.

The coordinated KONGSBERG ecosystem enables high-performance, secure and resilient mission delivery, from hardware and launch through operations and data delivery.

“N3X is a prime example of what Norway can achieve when its space industry works as one,” de Badts said. “KONGSBERG’s capabilities in mission development, payloads and system integration, including NanoAvionics’ satellite platforms, combined with KSAT’s operational backbone, create a unified end-to-end service.”

Through this integrated capability, the N3X constellation delivers persistent maritime surveillance, supporting a range of users, including the Norwegian Coastal Administration, the Directorate of Fisheries and Norwegian Customs.

KSAT’s IMS helps ensure the constellation meets operational availability requirements, minimizes latency, and provides operational continuity for years to come.

3CLogic Releases AI Agent Evaluator to Automate QA and Scoring of Voice AI Agents

New capability scores 100% of AI interactions with plain-language reasoning, enabling accountability and rich insights into Voice AI engagements and performance.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 3CLogic today announced the release of AI Agent Evaluator, a powerful automated quality assurance (QA) and scoring engine built natively into its Voice AI Hub. The new feature scores 100% of Voice AI agent interactions based on configurable metrics including resolution, goal completion, and quality, while providing plain-language reasoning behind each rating without the need for manual transcript review.

As enterprise service desks and contact centers accelerate the deployment of conversational AI, industry focus has heavily centered on the raw power and scalability of Voice AI agents, while largely ignoring how to continuously validate their performance in the field. While many organizations rely on manual auditing or exporting of bot transcripts into standalone QA tools intended for human agents, 3CLogic recognized the need for a solution purpose-built for AI-based interactions.

“Operational leaders are increasingly asking if the voice AI agents they deployed are doing what they were designed to address,” explains Anshuman Rawat, CTO at 3CLogic. “Deploying Voice AI agents is relatively easy, but knowing if they are actually resolving issues or deflecting a live call to the satisfaction of the caller is the real challenge. AI Agent Evaluator replaces the guesswork and black-box metrics with objective, auditable scores at scale.”

Natively integrated into its Voice AI Hub, 3CLogic’s AI Agent Evaluator allows organizations to hold AI agents to the same rigorous standards as live agents while identifying opportunities for continuous improvement. Designed to eliminate the blind spots of legacy QA processes, the solution delivers immediate business value through the following key features:

• Comprehensive QA Coverage: eliminates the inherent scaling limitations of manual sampling by automatically scoring every single Voice AI conversation to quickly identify critical performance issues.
  
  
  
  
• Role-specific agent evaluations: enables administrative users to create custom “yardsticks” for each specialized voice AI agent (e.g.: IT support, billing, etc.) to be scored accurately against what constitutes success for each of their unique roles.
  
  
  
  
• Automated task validations: verifies that required system actions (e.g.: submitting a case, updating a ticket, etc.) are in fact executed rather than relying solely on the transcript for confirmation.
  
  
  
  
• Actionable Insights: delivers visual insights into the performance of Voice AI agents over time with real-time dashboards.

The release marks the latest milestone in 3CLogic’s ongoing mission to transform the Voice AI and contact center landscape, following recent innovations, including Outbound AI agents. From global IT managed services providers to major multi-hospital systems modernizing their service operations, the organization continues to deliver significant competitive advantages for leading enterprises. AI Evaluations is now generally available to all Voice AI Hub customers.

EDGE Markets Partners with ProphetX to Bring 24/7 Banking Rails to the Exchange

Powered by EDGE Connect, ProphetX traders now have access to 24/7/365 fund movement, daily deposit limits of up to $1 million, and FDIC-insured deposit accounts through EDGE Boost

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EDGE Markets, a financial services company that creates products for alternative financial markets, including crypto and prediction markets, today announced a partnership with ProphetX, a leading sports exchange platform, to enable 24/7 real-time deposits, with daily deposit limits of up to $1 million for eligible users and no deposit fees charged to ProphetX participants. The integration brings EDGE Connect, a private closed-loop settlement network, to ProphetX, enabling eligible EDGE Boost customers to fund their ProphetX accounts with up to $1 million a day. The move builds on EDGE Markets’ recently announced partnerships with Kalshi and Polymarket, making ProphetX the latest exchange to adopt EDGE Connect.

Traditional account-funding methods can involve lower transaction limits, processing delays, and fees. These limitations can be particularly inconvenient for traders seeking to move funds during nights, weekends, and live market events. The introduction of EDGE Boost into the ProphetX funding rails gives eligible users access to daily deposit limits of up to $1 million, real-time fund movement with no banking-hour restrictions, and a dedicated bank account that separates trading capital from everyday finances. The ability to move significant capital onto ProphetX in real time addresses one of the most persistent friction points for active traders. Nights, weekends, and live market events are exactly when the traditional banking system creates delays. EDGE Connect solves this with FedNow rails that clear funds in near real-time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

“The most active traders are no different from sophisticated participants in any other vertical: they need fast, reliable access to their capital on their schedule, not the bank’s,” said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Markets. “Reaching the traders who are already moving serious capital on prediction markets is how EDGE Boost becomes the default financial platform for this space, and ProphetX gets us there.”

“As the first federally regulated sports-native exchange, ProphetX is committed to building every layer of this ecosystem to the highest standard. EDGE Markets brings the same philosophy to the financial rails. FDIC-insured deposit accounts, real-time fund movement, and higher funding limits, all things critical infrastructure for our active traders as this market matures,” said Dean Sisun, CEO and Co-Founder of ProphetX.

EDGE Markets recently closed a $29 million Series A round led by CoinFund, with participation from Indicator Ventures, Mantis VC, Stepstone Group, and Bullpen Capital, to accelerate the buildout of its institutional and consumer banking products across prediction markets. Since launching EDGE Boost, the company has processed more than $2 billion in transactions.

EDGE Boost, the banking product powering this integration, is built around responsible trading. Its pilot program linking cashback rewards to responsible trading tools saw a 97% opt-in rate among users. Personalized spending limits and cashback incentives give traders tools to stay in control of their finances.

Eligible ProphetX traders can sign up for EDGE Boost at https://edgeboost.io/prophetx.

About EDGE Markets 

EDGE Markets provides infrastructure and banking solutions that empower users with financial transparency, and support emerging verticals including cryptocurrency platforms and prediction markets. Its original product, EDGE Boost, is a purpose-built debit card account that is FDIC insured up to $250,000¹.

About ProphetX

Founded in 2018, ProphetX is America’s first sports-native prediction market. The company is a regulated U.S. exchange for event-driven contracts, built on a sports-focused foundation and designed to expand across a broad range of event markets.

ZeroBounce Can Now Detect AI-Managed Mailboxes

New data helps businesses identify mailboxes managed by autonomous AI agents, going beyond traditional email validation. 

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ZeroBounce, the email validation and deliverability platform, today announced it can now detect AI-managed mailboxes, a new layer of email intelligence that identifies mailboxes managed primarily by autonomous AI agents rather than people. ZeroBounce is the first email validation platform to provide customers with this type of insight.

Business email is changing. More organizations are putting AI in charge of handling incoming email, with many messages now being evaluated and acted on before a person ever sees them. ZeroBounce is expanding email validation beyond deliverability alone.

“For years, email validation has answered one question: Can this email address receive email?” said Liviu Tanase, founder and CEO of ZeroBounce. “As AI changes the way organizations communicate, another question becomes just as important: Who’s receiving the email? AI-managed mailbox detection helps answer that question.”

Unlike inboxes where AI simply assists users by suggesting replies or summarizing conversations, AI-managed mailboxes rely on autonomous AI agents to evaluate incoming messages and determine what happens next. Depending on how they’re configured, these systems may respond automatically, qualify prospects, route requests, schedule meetings, or decide whether an email should ever reach a human recipient.

Using proprietary mailbox intelligence and provider signals, ZeroBounce identifies two types of AI-managed mailboxes:

• AI Agent Mailbox – Assigned to valid email addresses that appear to be managed by an AI agent.
  
  
  
  
• Catch-all AI Agent Mailbox – Assigned to AI-managed addresses hosted on catch-all domains.

The feature gives organizations greater visibility into how their contacts may process incoming email. However, the new classifications are informational and are not recommendations to suppress or remove contacts. Many AI-managed mailboxes belong to legitimate businesses and valuable customers. 

“Until recently, marketers focused on whether an email could be delivered,” CEO Liviu Tanase added. “With this new data from ZeroBounce, they’re beginning to understand how that email is likely to be handled after it arrives. That’s valuable intelligence for sales, marketing, customer success, and anyone communicating at scale.”

AI-managed mailbox detection is available immediately to all ZeroBounce customers and users. To learn more about AI-managed mailboxes and how ZeroBounce identifies them, visit: https://www.zerobounce.net/free-email-verifier/ai-managed-mailboxes.

About ZeroBounce

ZeroBounce is an email validation and deliverability platform that helps more than 650,000 customers worldwide land their emails in the inbox. The company validates close to 1 billion email addresses every month and offers tools including email validation, inbox placement testing, blacklist monitoring, DMARC monitoring, email scoring, and more. ZeroBounce is widely recognized for its 99.6% accuracy guarantee, strong security standards, and award-winning customer support.

CheQ Launches CheQ UPI, Bringing India’s Most Rewarding UPI Experience for RuPay Credit Card Users

BENGALURU, India, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CheQ, India’s leading credit card management platform, today announced the launch of CheQ UPI, expanding its proposition from credit management into everyday digital payments. The new offering enables users to make seamless UPI payments using linked bank accounts and RuPay credit cards by scanning any UPI QR code across India’s merchant network.

With CheQ UPI, CheQ became the first platform to offer rewards on UPI payments made through RuPay-linked credit cards, bringing together the convenience of UPI, the benefits of credit card rewards and CheQ’s broader credit ecosystem in a single experience.

CheQ was built to help consumers get more from their credit – from credit card repayments and rewards to credit insights and AI-led products. With the launch of CheQ UPI, the company is taking that proposition beyond periodic credit management and into the everyday payment moments where consumers use their credit.

UPI has become an integral part of daily life in India, from paying at a neighbourhood kirana store or café to ordering groceries, dining out or shopping online. The integration of RuPay credit cards with UPI has further expanded the role of credit cards in these everyday transactions. CheQ UPI builds on this evolution with an experience designed specifically around the needs of credit card users.

Along with the speed, security and reliability users expect from every UPI payment, CheQ UPI is anchored by two standout propositions:

For CheQ AU RuPay Credit Card users:

• 2.5% rewards on all RuPay credit card UPI transactions, among the highest in the market.
• 12% rewards on CheQ Travel, Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato and BigBasket.
• 5% rewards across 10,000+ other merchants spanning travel, dining, online shopping and grocery.
• Rewards redeemable for travel bookings, gift cards and bill payments, all within CheQ.

For all other RuPay credit card users:

• 1.5% rewards on top of existing bank rewards, making CheQ the most rewarding RuPay UPI platform available today.
• Rewards redeemable directly against utility bills and credit card bills on CheQ.

The proposition is simple: if you own a RuPay credit card, CheQ gives you the most compelling reason to use it for everyday UPI payments, pairing a frictionless payment experience with the full weight of the CheQ ecosystem behind every transaction.

Aditya Soni, Founder & CEO, CheQ, said, “CheQ started with a simple ambition: to help people get more out of their credit. With CheQ UPI, we’re taking that ambition into something Indians do multiple times everyday — payments. CheQ UPI brings together the scale and simplicity of UPI with CheQ’s deep understanding of credit card users. We want CheQ to become the natural home for every RuPay credit card, seamless to pay with, rewarding to use, and fully integrated with how you manage your credit. This is a defining step for CheQ, moving from a platform people visit to manage their credit, to one they use every single day.“

CheQ UPI also deepens the CheQ ecosystem itself, uniting everyday payments, RuPay credit card usage, credit management and rewards into a single, connected experience.

The launch is a cornerstone of CheQ’s broader ambition of building India’s most comprehensive credit ecosystem helping the country’s fast-growing credit-active population not just manage credit better but derive greater value from it in everyday life.

Keypoint Intelligence Launches Why Buy Research Series Exploring How SMBs Purchase Print and Scanning Technology

New primary research examines how buyers across the US and EMEA research, evaluate, and purchase workplace technology

FAIRFIELD, N.J., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Keypoint Intelligence has announced the Why Buy Research Series, a new set of primary research studies examining how small and medium-sized business buyers research, evaluate, and purchase print and scanning technology across the US and EMEA.

Designed for printer and scanner manufacturers, retailers, e-tailers, and channel partners, the series provides an end-to-end view of the buyer journey, from initial research and product evaluation through purchase, setup, supplies, and post-sale engagement. The findings can help technology providers refine product positioning, strengthen marketing and sales strategies, and better understand the factors influencing purchase decisions.

The research shows that the SMB technology purchase journey varies considerably depending on the buyer. Company size, age, use case, and regional market differences can influence where customers begin their research, which brands they consider, where they ultimately make a purchase, and what they expect after the sale.

Across the print studies, digital discovery plays a central role. Buyers frequently turn to search engines, online reviews, retailer websites, and manufacturer content as they move toward a purchase decision. Practical considerations such as availability, ease of purchase, product performance, support, sustainability, and trust also influence the final choice.

Areas explored in the Why Buy Research Series include:

• Buyer personas and end-to-end purchase journeys
• Digital research, online reviews, and purchasing behavior
• Purchase triggers, product priorities, and brand consideration
• Channel preferences across marketplaces, retailers, OEMs, and resellers
• Sustainability and subscription considerations
• Regional differences between US, Western European, and UAE buyers
• Supplies and paper purchasing behavior
• Post-sale engagement and customer retention opportunities
• Scanner workflow requirements and productivity priorities

“Company size really emerged as the strongest structural driver of buyer behavior across the customer journey,” said Deborah Hawkins, Group Director of Keypoint Intelligence’s Workplace Team. “Our research suggests that the biggest behavioral differences occur by company size. That has important implications for how vendors approach segment messaging and create differentiated journeys for each buyer persona.”

The findings also highlight opportunities beyond the initial hardware transaction. In the US print study, buyers often continue purchasing supplies through channels they used earlier in their buying journey, while convenience is a leading factor when purchasing ink and toner. Paper follows a different pattern, with buyers placing greater emphasis on quality, compatibility, availability, and brand confidence.

The EMEA research points to additional regional differences. Buyer behavior in Western Europe and the UAE varies in areas such as expansion purchases, employer funding, sensitivity to promotions, and sustainability priorities. These differences show why manufacturers and channel partners need to adapt their approach to individual markets rather than relying on a single message across the region.

The Why Buy Research Series includes four research briefings covering print and dedicated scanning technology in the US and EMEA. Each briefing turns primary buyer research into practical insights for product, marketing, sales, and channel teams.

Organizations can also work with Keypoint Intelligence analysts on vendor-specific reviews of the research and explore ways to use the findings for sales enablement, thought leadership, marketing content, and other market-facing initiatives.

Spinnaker Support Names Rex Young Chief Information Officer as Company Scales Global Operations

Veteran Tech Leader Brings 25-Plus Years of IT, Cybersecurity, and AI Experience to Modernize Platforms and Strengthen Security

DENVER, Colo., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Spinnaker Support, the third-party software support leader entrusted by 1,300+ global clients, today announced the appointment of Rex Young as Chief Information Officer (CIO). Reporting to CEO Matt Stava, Young will lead Spinnaker’s global technology strategy as the company expands to meet the accelerating global demand for Oracle, SAP, VMware, and PostgreSQL support.

Young’s mandate centers on modernizing the company’s technology platforms, strengthening its data and analytics capabilities, and enhancing cybersecurity. That work extends to Spinnaker’s AI strategy, building on tools like Navigator and Spinnaker Intelligence to speed issue resolution while hardening the security posture for every department. He will also partner closely with other leaders across the company to use technology in ways that improve operational efficiency, support customers, and enable smarter, data-driven decision-making.

“Our core technology capabilities shape how we operate and serve our customers,” said Matt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support. “Rex has spent his career turning complex technology environments into engines for growth. His experience modernizing platforms, strengthening security, and putting data and AI to work will help us deliver more for our customers.”

Young brings more than 25 years of executive technology leadership experience, including roles with private equity-backed software and technology companies. He most recently served as CIO and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at SambaSafety, where he led enterprise IT, information security, digital transformation, AI enablement, and large-scale modernization initiatives that supported the company’s growth. Earlier in his career, he served as CIO at LogRhythm.

“Spinnaker is growing fast, and that growth has to be matched by technology that scales with it,” said Young. “My focus is on simplifying how the business runs, so AI can do more than automate tasks. Done right, it strengthens security instead of expanding the attack surface, and gives our engineers faster answers instead of more noise. And this isn’t just internal IT. I want us building technology our customers benefit from directly, not only what keeps the lights on behind the scenes. That’s the foundation I want under Spinnaker as we grow. I look forward to partnering with Matt and the leadership team at a stage where the business has real momentum.”

Spinnaker carries a 94% customer satisfaction rating and support teams averaging more than 20 years of enterprise engineering experience. The last 12 months have brought a series of significant milestones:

• Revenue growth: Spinnaker is sustaining double-digit growth as enterprises increasingly turn to independent support for greater control and flexibility. Demand continues to accelerate across Oracle, SAP, and VMware practices, with expansion across both new and existing global customers.
• South Africa expansion: In March 2026, Spinnaker opened its South Africa office in partnership with African Rainbow Capital, establishing a regional delivery and engineering hub and extending the company’s global reach across Africa and sub-Saharan regions.
• VMware division growth: In response to Broadcom’s subscription licensing changes, the VMware practice has signed dozens of enterprise clients and announced indefinite support for organizations running vSphere 7 past Broadcom’s October 2025 end-of-support deadline.

Utility Global Taps Erik Meuleman as Chief Technology Officer to Advance Proprietary H2Gen Commercialization

Industry veteran brings 20+ years of experience advancing decarbonization technologies from research to commercial deployment

HOUSTON, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Utility Global (“Utility”), a global company enabling economic industrial decarbonization, today announced the appointment of Erik Meuleman, Ph.D., as Chief Technology Officer.

Meuleman holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Twente in the Netherlands.

“Erik has spent two decades moving technology out of the lab and into industrial plants that run, which is exactly the discipline and leadership we need right now,” said Utility Chief Executive Officer Parker Meeks. “He’s built technology organizations from the ground up more than once, and we are looking forward to working with Erik to enhance our advanced technical team’s ability to accelerate the continued commercial deployment of our proprietary H2Gen around the world.”

Utility enables industrial companies to unlock value by extending the economic life of existing assets, eliminating or reducing emissions and accelerating progress toward their sustainability and decarbonization goals to support a cleaner environment for our communities and the world.

As Utility advances multiple commercial projects and expands its footprint across North America, Europe and Asia, Meuleman will lead the technology organization through this next stage of growth.

“What drew me to Utility is the combination of an exciting technology that already works at scale and a team ready to build real engineering discipline around it,” Meuleman said. “I’ve spent my career doing exactly that kind of work, closing the gap between what’s proven in demonstration and what a customer can actually run with extreme confidence at industrial scale.”
