Total revenues for the quarter were U.S. dollar $18.2 million, reflecting the continued impact of microeconomic headwinds, geopolitical tensions affecting our bound travel from China, and a significant surge in very cheap costs. Our Euclidean 1.0 international data connectivity services remain under pressure from these factors. However, this impact is increasingly being offset by the rapid scaling of our uCloudLink 2.0 local data connectivity business, which delivered strong growth, particularly from our global mean IoT business. We expect our uCloudLink 2.0 and the new business lines to fully offset the continued contraction in our 1.0 international business by the third quarter. as we continue to execute on our strategy priorities. We continue to see strong momentum across our new product portfolio during the second quarter. Glaucoma IoT and Unicorp Pro in particular gained solid traction with revenue contribution steadily increasing as the transition out of the initial market went up phase. each reached key strategy milestones during the quarter, positioning us well for accelerated commercialization going forward.

In the second quarter, revenue from the global community IoT grew 392.4% year-over-year. Our total install base reached 3.34 million units, and the NAU grew 210 year-over-year. User adoption is growing rapidly across key vertical as it further solidifies our position in high growth sectors, including in-car infotainment and security cameras. Moving on to our platform ecosystem, which has undergone a comprehensive upgrade into a dedicated pet AI agent. Building on the AI power plus social model, We pioneered in the fourth quarter. This marked a major step forward in functionality and performance, redefining AI-powered communication between humans and their pets. The agent can precisely sense a pet's condition and emotion state and intelligently support owner at every stage of care from and Yimeng Shi. These powerful agents create enormous opportunities across pet health, veterinary care, pet safety, and the pet data analytics, each of which we see a source of new value creation.

We are now extending our pet AI capabilities across communication, safety, and health management on the market front. We have made significant progress in branding and promotional efforts, generating substantial external attention. We select content pieces, reach tens of millions of views in major platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, etc. We look forward to achieving even greater breakthrough in the second half of the year. turning to our Glocomi Life and Thin Business line, where our strategy is beginning to generate results.
