The $320 billion pet technology track is booming, and Unicall's petpogo ecosystem is reconstructing the intelligent connection between humans and pets.

On March 2nd, the Mobile World Congress (MWC2026), known as the industry's vane, opened in Barcelona. UCL (NASDAQ: UCL), a pioneer in the communication sharing economy, officially launched the new petpogo pet digital ecosystem, becoming a technological highlight with a strong sense of technological empathy at this year's conference.

In this communication feast focusing on AI and 6G, UCL targeted the global pet market worth $320 billion. Relying on more than a decade of communication technology accumulation, it created a cross - species digital connection system and launched two core products, PetPhone and PetCam, as well as the petpogo pet intelligent connection digital ecosystem. It upgraded pet intelligence from single - hardware tracking to a full - closed - loop service of "safety - health - emotion", injecting new vitality into the rapidly growing pet technology market.

Market Trend: A $320 - billion Blue Ocean Expands, and Pet Technology Becomes the Core of Growth

Currently, the global pet market is in a golden period of consumption upgrade. Pet technology has become a fast - growing segment in the "pet economy", showing huge market potential. According to public data, the global pet market scale has exceeded $320 billion. Among them, pet wearable technology has achieved explosive growth with an annual compound growth rate of 14.3%, becoming the core engine driving the market.

Larry Jin, the global brand marketing director of UCL, said bluntly in his on - site speech that the fundamental change in pet - keeping concepts is the core driving force for the market explosion. Nowadays, pets have long been upgraded from "family companions" to "family members". The concept of "pets are family" has promoted the pet - keeping consumption to upgrade from basic subsistence and passive safety management to higher - level needs such as health management and emotional companionship. More than 70% of pet - keeping families are willing to pay a premium for the safety and health of their pets.

However, there is still an obvious mismatch between supply and demand in the current market: Most pet intelligent devices still stay in the simple positioning and tracking stage, with single functions and a lack of in - depth emotional interaction, making it difficult to meet the growing needs of pet owners for scientific pet - keeping. This also creates new market opportunities for enterprises with both global connection technology and scenario innovation capabilities.

Hard - core Layout: Two Core Products Launched, and Four Technologies Strengthen the Experience Barrier

As the core carrier of UCL's layout in the pet technology field, the petpogo ecosystem is not a simple accumulation of single hardware but a complete digital system deeply integrated with UCL's self - developed technology base. The two core products, PetPhone and PetCam, accurately solve the current pain points in the pet intelligent device industry and form unique technological competitiveness.

The PetPhone, a pet - wearable smartphone launched first, addresses three core concerns of pet owners: Through the Hyper - Positioning super - positioning technology integrating six technologies, it achieves centimeter - level precise positioning, alleviating the safety concern of pets getting lost; Through the instant two - way call function, it enables owners to interact with their pets via voice anytime and anywhere, and the music soothing function helps relieve separation anxiety; Equipped with an AI health monitoring system, it can capture real - time pet movement indicators and behavior patterns, and use the Data AI intelligent brain to issue health risk warnings, solving the health concern in pet - keeping.

The PetCam, which made its European debut this time, upgrades pet intelligence from "auditory connection" to "full - sensory companionship". This 1080P immersive camera weighing only 25 grams is designed with an extremely lightweight design to adapt to the daily activities of pets. It pioneered the "Pet Point - of - View (Pet POV)", allowing owners to see the world from the perspective of their pets. After pairing with the PetPhone, it can achieve a full - sensory connection of "listening, speaking, and seeing". Owners can view the real - time dynamics of their pets and interact with them via voice through the petpogo App.

UCL's AI HyperConn® second - level switching technology can ensure the connection stability of devices in complex scenarios such as outdoors and remote areas, achieving "global seamless companionship". All devices are unifiedly managed by the petpogo App, forming a complete ecosystem of "hardware + software + service", upgrading pet intelligence from "passive tracking" to "active companionship".

Market Validation: Outstanding Performance after Listing in Hong Kong, Becoming a Global Replication Model

Actually, as early as September 2025, the PetPhone completed its global commercial debut in Hong Kong, becoming an important benchmark for UCL's layout in the global pet technology market. Its market performance after listing was outstanding, fully confirming the market recognition of the product.

After listing, the PetPhone launched an affordable package of HK$58 per month with local telecom operation partners, including device services, local mobile data, and one - year device maintenance. Its high cost - performance quickly opened up the market; Relying on core functions such as two - way human - pet calls and high - precision mobile positioning launched first, it became a popular product in the Hong Kong pet technology market.

According to the data disclosed by UCL, since the official listing of the PetPhone in October 2025, its sales have exceeded the company's expectations for this new market. The Hong Kong market has also become an important market and accumulated a large amount of user usage data, providing important support for the product optimization of the petpogo ecosystem.

Currently, the market distribution of the PetPhone has formed a core pattern in the United States, China, and Europe. As an international hub, Hong Kong has become an important springboard for the product to go global, further validating the feasibility of the "hardware + value - added service" business model and providing a replicable model for subsequent cooperation with operators around the world.

Industry Value: Reconstructing the Track Logic, Opening up a New Path for the Integration of Communication and Pet Technology

The launch of UCL's petpogo ecosystem not only brings a new pet - keeping experience to pet owners but also breaks the boundary between the pet technology and communication industries, achieving double breakthroughs in technological value and commercial value and providing a new model for the integrated development of the two industries.

From the perspective of the pet technology industry, the petpogo ecosystem breaks the development dilemma of the industry, which focuses on hardware and neglects services. It is the first to deeply integrate global communication connection technology with pet scenarios, promoting the transformation of pet technology from "single - function hardware" to "full - scenario ecological service". With its "operation + algorithm" model, it provides a new development idea for the industry - solving scenario pain points through core technology innovation and enhancing user stickiness through ecological construction, making pet intelligent devices truly become warm "family partners" rather than cold monitoring tools.

From the perspective of the communication industry, multiple product lines and terminal - side solutions, including the petpogo pet ecosystem, have opened up a new incremental market for the industry. For operator partners, this is a highly potential "new number source opportunity". UCL transforms pet devices into high - value subscription accounts, creating a sustainable ARPU growth curve for operators and promoting the transformation of operators from basic traffic packages to high - margin scenario - based subscription services.

Meanwhile, the technology system of the petpogo ecosystem can also be extended to people's livelihood fields such as the protection of the elderly and children, realizing the cross - scenario reuse of technological capabilities and further expanding the application boundary of communication technology.

More importantly, UCL empowers pet technology with communication technology, truly realizing the value of "technology for good". Larry Jin said on - site: "In UCL's concept, the value of connection lies not only in connecting the network but also in connecting emotions. We hope that through technology, every life can be gently protected, and no family member will be left in the digital shadow."

Future Outlook: Deeply Cultivating the Ecosystem Layout, Letting Technology Warm More Lives

Standing at the forefront of the $320 - billion pet technology market, the debut of UCL's petpogo ecosystem is just the beginning of its layout for cross - species connection.

Larry Jin, the global brand marketing director of UCL, said at the MWC2026 exhibition that in the future, UCL will continue to rely on its own technology accumulation and deeply cultivate the construction of the petpogo ecosystem: On the one hand, relying on the massive data of the Data AI intelligent brain, it will continuously optimize functions such as AI health monitoring and pet behavior analysis, making the devices understand pets and owners better and enriching the service connotation of the ecosystem; On the other hand, it will further deepen the global network layout, enabling the services of the petpogo ecosystem to cover more countries and regions, truly realizing "global borderless companionship" between pets and their owners.

In the long - term development, UCL will take pet technology as an entry point and gradually build a "community of life" connection system covering humans, pets, and objects. It will replicate the technology and operation experience in the pet scenario to more people's livelihood fields such as the protection of the elderly and children, enabling communication technology to truly empower every life.

In the AI era, when technology meets empathy, the imagination space of the pet technology track is being completely opened up. And UCL's layout undoubtedly adds a warm and promising new footnote to this industry transformation.
