Partnership combines a new underwater acoustic modem with distributed maritime infrastructure, edge processing, and resilient satellite communications

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AnySignal and Andrenam today announced a partnership to develop and bring to market a new family of underwater acoustic communications modems, with initial shipments expected in the first half of 2027. The companies intend to make modems broadly available to the market in addition to integrating the modems into their broader suite of products and services.

AnySignal and Andrenam have a history of collaboration and are proven leaders in their respective fields of distributed maritime platforms and resilient radiofrequency (RF) communications capabilities.

Andrenam brings its underwater operating experience, existing government customer relationships, and consistent access to maritime test environments. Andrenam’s network of intelligent surface platforms connects to underwater vehicles and sensors while providing compute, communications, and sensing infrastructure for the maritime domain.

AnySignal will lead development of the core modem and communications technology, drawing on its experience designing communications products like its Terramodem, flight-proven communications terminals (AstroModem USX), and network orchestration software (AnyLink). The modems will also leverage AnySignal’s broader software-defined RF stack, which spans communications, radar, electronic warfare, SIGINT, ELINT, and other sensing applications.

Together, the companies plan to extend the acoustic modem into a complete acoustic-to-RF, seabed-to-space communications architecture. Underwater assets can communicate acoustically with distributed surface nodes, such as Andrenam’s PEARL buoys, where data can be processed locally or routed through resilient satellite and terrestrial networks like AnySignal’s AnyLink network.

“AnySignal and Andrenam see market demand for a modern, independently available acoustic modem that can be broadly integrated across government, commercial, and autonomous maritime platforms,” said John Malsbury, Co-founder and CEO of AnySignal. “AnySignal’s thesis was always to extend our network to support missions in all domains. We have proven our products across space missions, and with this partnership, now extend our reach into sub-sea operations. Our team’s deep modem, digital signal processing, and RF capabilities, paired with Andrenam’s maritime platforms, operating experience, and test opportunities, will generate exciting products for our customers.”

“One of the biggest biggest gaps in the undersea domain is getting reliable communications in and out of the water quickly, remotely and reliably,” said Matej Cernosek, Co-Founder and CEO of Andrenam. “Our partnership with AnySignal will bring a new software-defined undersea communications modem to close this gap. AnySignal’s deep experience with communications paired with Andrenam’s PEARL hardware and OBISIDIAN software will enable us to move that data from undersea sensors and vehicles anywhere in the world, in real-time. We intend the resulting modems to be available well beyond our own platforms and to be designed for rapid third party integration.”

The companies expect early modem shipments in the first half of 2027. The acoustic modem is intended to be the first product from a broader technical partnership. Andrenam’s distributed surface platforms can host communications, compute, radar, SIGINT, ELINT, acoustics, electronic warfare, and other payloads. AnySignal full stack platform, encompassing on-orbit radios, ground stations, and global networking brings proven expertise across corresponding mission areas, creating opportunities for additional distributed maritime sensing and processing products over time.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For users who need more than basic capture, demand remains for dedicated professional scanning apps that combine high-quality scanning with document editing, text recognition, format conversion, and AI-assisted document processing.

That continuing demand is reflected in CamScanner’s development over more than 16 years. The company has focused on improving the scanning experience while expanding the ways users can work with documents after capture.

At the capture stage, CamScanner has continued to refine the fundamentals of professional scanning. Its Auto Cropping capability helps identify and frame the page being scanned, while image processing addresses practical issues that can affect scan quality, including blur, shadows, glare, show-through, moiré patterns, and distracting backgrounds. Multi-page scanning and optimization for different document types further support users working with documents in different formats and situations.

The next layer is turning a captured image into usable information. Through Text Recognition, CamScanner can extract text from scanned documents and support subsequent tasks such as document editing and format conversion. This allows a scan to become more than a static image, making the information within it easier to access and work with.

From there, CamScanner extends into broader document processing. Its PDF capabilities support editing, conversion, merging, splitting, compression, signing, and sharing, connecting document capture with the tasks that often follow. CS AI further expands this workflow by providing AI-assisted ways to work with document content, helping users process and use information more efficiently. Rather than treating each function as an isolated tool, these capabilities are built around the document, allowing users to move between scanning, recognition, processing, and sharing according to their needs.

Dedicated professional scanning apps continue to improve the scanning experience while expanding their document-processing capabilities. CamScanner remains focused on both the quality and efficiency of document capture and the growing range of tasks surrounding the document. As user needs become increasingly diverse, professional scanning extends beyond digitizing paper to helping users recognize, edit, process, manage, and use the information within their documents.

As organizations face simultaneous pressure from AI-driven role transformation, M&A acceleration, and the shift to skills-based workforce design, Sift’s new planning capability gives people leaders the intelligence they need to design their org around actual skills, experience, and expertise — not just titles and headcount.

DETROIT, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Sift, the people intelligence platform that gives organizations clearer visibility into their workforce through org charts and employee directories, today announced the launch of Sift Org Planning. The new capability lets HR leaders and business leaders build, compare, and share proposed org structures, starting from current, HRIS-synced data, before committing to a change.

Three forces are reshaping how organizations are designed in 2026. Artificial intelligence is eliminating and transforming roles faster than traditional job structures can accommodate — and many HR leaders don’t have a clear enough picture of what their people can actually do to make confident redeployment decisions. M&A deal volume is accelerating, and the window between deal close and integration pressure is shrinking. And leading HR organizations have stopped planning their workforces around job titles and headcount, turning instead to skills and capabilities as the primary unit of organizational design.

These forces share a common gap: the tools HR teams use to plan their organizations weren’t built for how this work actually happens. Reorgs are modeled in PowerPoint slides that go stale the moment someone changes teams. Integration scenarios are built in spreadsheets disconnected from the HR systems of record. Skills-based planning requires data that lives in multiple systems and a team of analysts to assemble into something actionable.

“HR teams have always had to leave their org chart to plan the future of their org. Sift Org Planning closes that gap — not by adding another workflow tool, but by turning the org chart itself into a shared canvas where HR leaders and business leaders can design around capability, not just structure, and see the impact of every decision together before anything is announced.” — Larry Angeli, CEO, Sift

Designed for the Way Reorgs Actually Happen

Every Scenario starts from a copy of your current org chart, kept separate from your live org chart, so plans are built on current data rather than a static export. Capabilities include:

Scenario Management — Create multiple Scenarios from existing org data or a blank canvas, and share or co-edit them with key collaborators.Drag-and-Drop Editor — Move employees and positions across the org chart directly; people and positions move together.Create New Nodes — Add net-new positions, employees, or org nodes that don’t yet exist in a data sync — built for M&A integration and hiring-surge planning.Import Live Data — Every Scenario pulls current data from Workday, UKG, CSV, or ATS integrations, so proposed structures are built on today’s org, not last quarter’s export.The Bench — Temporarily set employees aside to hold them for placement in a new structure later.Scenario Summary — Automated rollups of headcount and compensation impact as changes are made, visible alongside the structural change itself.Change History — A running log of every edit made within a Scenario, so teams can track what changed, when, and by whom.Commenting — Add comments to a Scenario or to individual nodes, so stakeholders can flag issues — like a skills gap or reporting-line conflict — directly in context.

Why Context Matters: Moving People, Not Just Positions

Sift Org Planning is built on Sift’s org chart and connected to Sift’s employee profiles. When planning a change, a planner can click from any person in a scenario into their full Sift profile, including skills, experience, and current projects, without leaving the plan. When a CHRO is designing a new structure in response to AI taking on more transactional work, or modeling the combined org after an acquisition, that context sits inside the planning experience rather than in another system.

Sift Org Planning gives HR leaders a shared, confidential canvas where CHROs, HR business partners, and business leaders can visualize and shape proposed changes together in real time. A head of engineering can see how a proposed team consolidation affects their function; a finance business partner can watch headcount and labor cost shift as changes are made; an HR business partner can flag a skills gap in a proposed structure before it becomes a post-announcement problem. Proposed Scenarios can be shared with collaborators who can view, edit, and comment in the same scenario, without the risk of a premature announcement or a version-controlled PowerPoint chain passed around over email.

The foundation matters as much as the features. Sift holds certified integration partnerships with Workday, UKG and Microsoft, which means every scenario starts from current, accurate people data rather than a manual export or a spreadsheet that was current last quarter.
