PRESS RELEASE

Barcelona - Mobile World Congress - Feb. 25, 2019, 06:00 p.m. CET - Kerlink
(ALKLK - FR0013156007), a specialist and global leader in solutions dedicated
to the Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Things America (IoT America),
a U.S. company dedicated to deploying IoT solutions across rural America, today
announced they have teamed up to quickly and easily transform the way rural
businesses work by maximizing the power, ease-of-use and security the Kerlink
platform brings to these businesses through Kerlink stations and core-network
software.

As part of the joint effort, IoT America is creating a first-of-its-kind
practice with strategic advisors who are solely focused on helping its
customers change the way they work across their entire organization, from
implementing location functions such as assets, facilities, field services and
safety, to improving R&D, inventory management and back-office systems.

Kerlink and IoT America will also collaborate on the development of a new
service offering from IoT America designed to help clients fully take advantage
of the ecosystem of hardware, software and services in the marketplace. The new
offering will help clients discover the highest-impact possibilities within
their industries and quickly develop LoRaWAN(TM) solutions through proven
methods, benefiting from industrial-grade and future-proof IoT dedicated
connectivity.

"IoT America was founded to deliver the benefits of advanced technologies,
connectivity and solutions to rural America," said Jeff Klaumann, Internet of
Things America CTO. "We are focused on addressing the needs of growers,
producers, agricultural businesses and small towns. Our clients recognize the
power of technology in optimizing their operations, which has enabled new
distribution opportunities for our solution partners."

To that end, IoT America designs, installs and manages wireless connectivity
and value-added solutions for precision agriculture, livestock management,
infrastructure monitoring and smart-town applications, to help growers,
ranchers, towns and businesses save time and money, boost productivity,
increase farm yields and conserve valuable natural resources. To accomplish
these goals, IoT America is relying on Kerlink's outdoor Wirnet(TM) Stations
and Wirnet(TM) iBTS Compact LoRaWAN gateways, indoor Wirnet(TM) iFemtoCell
gateways, and the company's core network and advanced-operations suite,
Wanesy(TM) Management Center.

"IoT America created a new consumption model that efficiently brings the
Internet of Things directly to the vast rural areas of the United States and
allows agriculture producers, small businesses and municipalities to quickly
rollout customized networks and actionable field solutions," said Yannick
Delibie, Kerlink CTIO and CEO of Kerlink Inc., the company's U.S. subsidiary.
"Together Kerlink and IoT America are a perfect match: Kerlink brings
cost-efficient, mature and performant low-power wide-area connectivity for
solution providers like IoT America to deploy and manage a growing number of
smart-agriculture and smart-town use cases. These include crop, soil and
weather analytics, livestock monitoring, asset and building management,
metering and remote smoke, gas and fire alerting. Kerlink's one-stop-shop
Network-as-a-Service full opex model also helps our partners to streamline
their investment and to focus on sales and marketing activities, while
leveraging from the start an industrial-grade and future-proof IoT dedicated
connectivity."
