(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire –Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ), A mission-critical provider of drone technology, artificial intelligence software, cryptocurrency apps, blockchain mobile apps, and cloud-based business software solutions, has exciting news to share today. Epazz, Inc. is making remarkable strides with its holdings, ZenaDrone, Inc. We are gearing up to demonstrate the ZenaDrone 1000 under extreme weather conditions in collaboration with the US Navy.

This groundbreaking experiment marks ZenaDrone’s initial venture into assessing their technology in frigid temperatures. The ZenaDrone 1000 has already demonstrated its prowess under scorching conditions exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit, a testament to its durability. Now, it’s time to put it to the test in sub-zero temperatures as low as negative 20 degrees. Following this cold-weather trial, the drone will be dispatched to an overseas military base, where it will be subjected to real-world scenarios, presenting a significant opportunity for the company to showcase the ZenaDrone 1000’s capabilities.

Epazz, Inc. worked to obtain the required certifications and licenses to become a defense contractor. We are also actively engaged in negotiating pilot programs with the US Air Force, having already received a letter of support. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), like the ZenaDrone 1000, are one of the key emerging technologies sought after by the Navy and other branches of the US military.

“We are thrilled to embark on the cold-weather testing of the ZenaDrone 1000. This presents a unique opportunity to exhibit the drone platform’s capabilities,” remarked Shaun Passley, CEO of Epazz Holdings.

The ZenaDrone 1000 is a versatile multi-mission UAV, designed for various payloads and includes sensors and HD cameras. It can be operated remotely or autonomously, offering a cost-effective alternative to manned aircraft due to its streamlined design that doesn’t require space and equipment for onboard human operators.

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ), a mission-critical provider of drone technology, artificial intelligence software, cryptocurrency apps, blockchain mobile apps, and cloud-based business software solutions, has announced today that its holdings ZenaDrone, Inc. is proud to announce that it is preparing a series of demonstrations of ZenaDrone 1000 capabilities with the US Navy. This is a significant opportunity for the company to demonstrate the ZenaDrone 1000 in actual conditions.

The company has been obtaining the necessary certifications and licenses to become a defense contractor and is also working on signing pilot programs with the US Air Force, from which it has already received a letter of support. Also, the company has a demo with the US Department of Defense. There seems to be a significant need in the US Military for heavy-lift drones.

UAVs are one of several new capabilities—directed-energy weapons, hypersonic weapons, artificial intelligence, cyber capabilities, and quantum technologies—that the Navy and other U.S. military services are pursuing to meet emerging military challenges, particularly from China.

“We are excited to be working with the US Navy to demonstrate the capabilities of our ZenaDrone 1000,” said Shaun Passley, CEO of Epazz Holdings. “We believe that our UVs can provide a cost-effective and reliable solution to the Navy’s needs and looking forward to the upcoming demonstrations to show the Navy what ZD 1000 can do.”

The ZenaDrone 1000 is a multi-mission UAV equipped with sensors, HD camera, or other payloads, and can be operated remotely or autonomously. They can be individually less expensive to procure than manned aircraft because their designs do not need to incorporate spaces and support equipment for onboard human operators. UAVs can be particularly suitable for long-duration missions that might tax the physical endurance of onboard personnel.

Epazz Holdings is committed to providing the US Navy with the best AI-integrated UAV solutions. The company is confident that its ZenaDrone 1000 will meet the Navy’s needs and looks forward to the upcoming demonstrations.

Irish farmers have a particular use case, and their farms will have access to an advanced-precision agriculture drone for monitoring plant health and spraying weeds. Furthermore, the police force and fire departments will be able to quickly mobilize drones as an integrated part of the first-responder system in emergencies.

According to Fortune Business Insights, “The global drone services market size was valued at USD 13.9 billion in 2022, and the market is projected to grow from USD 18.9 billion in 2023 to USD 189.4 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 38.9% during the forecast period.”

In May, Ossian Smyth, minister of state at the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and the Department of Environment, Climate, and Communications, visited ZenaDrone’s offices in Dublin, Ireland. ZenaDrone’s Irish team has been lining up customers throughout Europe, and once the units start getting deployed, they will be an ongoing source of revenue in this region.  ZenaDrone also expects to expand the DaaS into Germany.

“We are excited to be sending 20 drones to Ireland. We first visited Ireland in 2019 and are pleased to work with Irish farmers to upgrade their farms to the latest technologies. ZenaDrone 1000 is a green solution that will disrupt the agriculture industry by reducing labor and greenhouse gases,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO and director of Epazz Inc. and ZenaDrone Inc.

The ZenaDrone 1000 has a high-quality camera, allowing users to take stunning aerial photographs and videos that capture the world’s beauty from new heights. It also has autonomous flight capabilities, preventing it from crashing even in challenging weather conditions or with sudden obstacles. The drone’s multi-sensor system can measure height, depth, and vegetation and establish a GPS location to track people, objects, and animals in the frame of its camera with unprecedented accuracy and control.

CHICAGO, IL, Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ), a mission-critical provider of drone technology, artificial intelligence software, cryptocurrency apps, blockchain mobile apps and cloud-based business software solutions, has announced today that its holdings ZenaDrone, Inc. unveiled its new ZD1000 drone, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), at the Taiwan-US Supply Chain Business Matchmaking Seminar on September 13^th during the Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition (TADTE) 2023.

The company is establishing partnerships and supply chain vendors in Taiwan to be NDAA-compliant (National Defense Authorization Act) as part of the requirements for securing U.S. Defense contracts. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) prohibits the use of equipment manufactured by a specified list of Chinese manufacturers.

ZenaDrone has been invited to demonstrate its capabilities in North Carolina for the US Department of Defense early next month. “There are several government contract opportunities we are working towards and resolving the remaining issues by opening up a drone component sourcing and manufacturing operations in Taipei, Taiwan,” CEO Shaun Passley commented in an interview.

The seminar was hosted by the Taiwan-US Industrial Cooperation Promotion Office (TUSA) and Arizona State Office in Taiwan to match US companies with potential business partners from the international aerospace industry.

At the seminar, ZenaDrone CEO Shaun Passley met with the Director of the Office of the American Institute in Taiwan, Ms. Sandra Oudkirk, an American senior diplomat under the United States Foreign Service. During the meeting, they discussed the potential for collaboration between ZenaDrone and the Office of the American Institute in Taiwan.

The American Institute in Taiwan is similar to an embassy; it plays a crucial role in conducting commercial, cultural, citizen, and visa services between the United States and Taiwan. As per the guidelines set by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, the institute strives to foster strong connections and collaboration between the peoples of both nations.

ZenaDrone’s flagship product, the ZD1000, is an AI-driven UAV specifically designed to survey and inspect large scale supply chain warehouses and facilities. This next generation drone technology uses sophisticated algorithms for automated piloting and AI analytics capabilities to identify potential operational issues before they arise. With its advanced image recognition capabilities, ZD1000 can take accurate aerial photographs of supply chain facilities that can be used in preventive maintenance operations or even in emergency situations such as floods or fires.

“Taiwan has resolved our supply chain issues allowing us to become NDAA compliant,” said Shaun Passley, PhD, CEO of Epazz and ZenaDrone. “We believe that our advanced drone technology can help to improve the efficiency of supply chain operations and create new opportunities for both sides.”

The business matchmaking seminar was part of a larger effort to assist Taiwanese aerospace and advanced manufacturing companies in accessing the latest technologies from the United States and expanding cooperation. This is in response to the impact of the trade war and the trade policies of China and the United States, which have accelerated the restructuring of global supply chains.

During the seminar, ZenaDrone’s Operations Manager, Sajjad Asif, presented ZenaDrone 1000 and its application and collaboration opportunities as an AI-powered drone, highlighting the advanced features and functions of ZD 1000 suitable for multiple industrial and commercial applications.

ZenaDrone is dedicated to providing the most advanced drone technology to help companies improve their supply chain operations. The company is looking forward to exploring the potential for collaboration with the Office of the American Institute in Taiwan.
