Pool Brain and Waterguru team up to deliver an industry-first remote data monitoring solution

Collaboration between pool industry tech leaders is the key to eliminating green pools and represents the future of pool service

PHOENIX, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pool Brain, the leading pool company software platform for medium to large pool businesses, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with WaterGuru, the market leader in residential/commercial pool health monitoring. 

This industry-first collaboration enables pool service companies to automatically receive remote pool data in the software platform they’re already using to manage their business.

“Pool Brain and Waterguru are a natural match, and we both share the same vision of how technology can significantly advance the pool service industry, both in value delivery and improved profitability,” added Paul Fulton, President of Waterguru.

Water chemistry readings, water temperature, and pump flow data are transmitted from Water Guru’s device which is installed as easily as swapping out a skimmer lid. The data is then stored in Pool Brain for the associated body of water and works seamlessly with Pool Brain’s existing workflows, graphs, alerts dashboard and more. 

Remote data monitoring isn’t a new concept, but integrating it into an actionable solution has never been done successfully until now. Historically, manufacturers have tasked homeowners to activate remote monitoring functions and forced the pool pro to manually review the data in isolated software platforms. In addition to this, device installation typically requires a trained repair tech and can’t be done by the cleaning tech on site. These have been giant roadblocks to making remote monitoring mainstream in the industry. Homeowners aren’t always reliable and nobody has time to login to multiple software platforms to review thousands of data points every day. 

Now, any pool tech can install a Water Guru device and link it to the Pool Brain app in just a few minutes without homeowner intervention. The data is stored for the correct customer and body of water in Pool Brain and alerts will auto-trigger based on the remote data received. Pool companies never need to review data manually, worry something is being missed, rely on a homeowner for action or use a separate software platform. 

Pool Brain’s Founder & CEO, Adam Beech, explains why he’s excited about the new partnership. “Having my own pool company for over 15 years, I’ve personally experienced the challenges that have surrounded remote monitoring in the past. The Waterguru team has solved for these challenges. They clearly understand the need for integration with leading software, they deliver a true chlorine reading instead of using ORP, the device can be installed by anyone in a few minutes without tools, the customer isn’t needed to activate any features, and flow is monitored in addition to chemistry. Both water chemistry and flow are critical to prevent pools from turning green and one without the other simply isn’t sufficient. So much can change between visits that is out of the technician’s control. It’s only a matter of time before something happens that will turn a pool green and the customer will typically blame you for it. With Waterguru’s remote data and Pool Brain’s proactive alerts system, pool service companies can be alerted automatically and act quickly before the customer is aware of any problem. Integrated remote data monitoring is the future of pool service and we’re proud to deliver yet another first for our industry.”

From China Mobile’s Call Upgrade to the Commercial Launch of “Calling + AI” by Leading Operators: AI Is Reshaping the Value of Native Calling

Published

on

By

BEIJING, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On June 15, 2026, China Mobile announced a comprehensive upgrade to its traditional calling services, ushering in a next-generation calling experience defined by HD, intelligence, and security. This milestone not only marks a major leap in telecommunication innovation but also reflects a global, inevitable shift: the transformation of basic communication into intelligent, inclusive services.

Breaking Experience Barriers and Redefining the Paradigm of Basic Calling

Overcoming the limitations of traditional, voice-only interactions, China Mobile has leveraged its mature VoLTE/VoNR network foundation to deeply integrate AI models with HD audio and video capabilities. Without requiring users to change their phones or SIM cards, seven core AI functions are now seamlessly embedded into the native dialer interface.

These upgrades include Live Captions bridge communication gaps for the elderly and hearing-impaired; HD video calls and AI noise reduction create a crystal-clear, immersive calling experience; AI anti-fraud intercepts high-risk calls in real time to safeguard users’ assets. Furthermore, the introduction of Data Channel (DC) technology and visual call menus transforms standard calls into agile, interactive service windows, enabling multi-party collaboration and seamless business transactions directly within the call. Through this initiative, China Mobile has successfully evolved traditional calls from a mere voice pipeline into a secure, integrated information hub.

“Calling + AI” Becomes a Strategic Consensus Among Global Leading Operators

From a global perspective, China Mobile’s call upgrade is not an isolated milestone, but a microcosm of the global telecommunications industry’s broader transformation. Throughout 2026, major operators worldwide are accelerating the commercial deployment of “Calling + AI” solutions:

Deutsche Telekom launched Magenta AI, leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance calling across all scenarios;T-Mobile US introduced a network-side, real-time translation service covering over 80 languages, effectively breaking down cross-border communication barriers;Saudi stc rolled out English-Arabic bilingual simultaneous interpretation, which has now entered large-scale commercial trials;South Korea’s LG U+ launched its ixi-O intelligent calling assistant, shifting the user experience from passive responses to proactive smart interactions and earning three prestigious GLOMO industry awards.

The synchronized efforts of these global leaders confirm that basic calling services have officially entered a new era of AI integration. Deeply empowered by artificial intelligence, “Calling + AI” has become the definitive blueprint for the intelligent transformation of the global telecommunications industry. As operators continue to refine these native capabilities, the traditional voice network is poised to reclaim its position as the most secure, ubiquitous, and valuable entry point in the AI era.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER, Brookfield and NVIDIA announced an expansion of Korea’s sovereign AI factory infrastructure. New investments will increase the initial NVIDIA DSX™ AI factory deployment from 55 megawatts to 200 megawatts.

Announced during Korea President Jae Myung Lee’s AI Summit visit to San Francisco, the planned 200-megawatt expansion will be built with the NVIDIA DSX platform at NAVER’s GAK Sejong hyperscale data center in Sejong, South Korea. The expanded infrastructure will provide Korea- and U.S.- based AI innovators with access to production-scale AI compute for building next-generation models, agents and AI-powered services.

Under the terms of the agreements, Brookfield will fund up to $9 billion as the exclusive capital partner, NVIDIA will invest $1 billion and NAVER will fund the remaining amount to finance the $10 billion project.

This builds on NAVER’s June announcement to extend its GAK Sejong data center with NVIDIA DSX, with a long-term path to gigawatt-scale sovereign AI infrastructure serving Korea’s enterprises, industries, government organizations and global AI cloud customers. Combining Brookfield’s capital with NVIDIA’s computing platform, the investment supports NAVER’s AI factory deployment.

“NVIDIA’s strategic investment and our infrastructure supply agreement with Brookfield have propelled NAVER’s vision for the AI Factory business into a robust execution phase,” said Haejin Lee, Founder and Chairman of NAVER. “Leveraging the solid partnerships with our global partners, we will drive technological innovation, foster a sovereign AI ecosystem, and spearhead efforts to strengthen South Korea’s AI competitiveness.”
