PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Gliwice, Poland - May 6, 2021, 6 p.m. CEST -
Kerlink (AKLK - FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated to the
Internet of Things (IoT), and AIUT, an international expert in IoT-dedicated
solutions, have completed Poland's largest LoRaWAN(r) network for water-supply
monitoring and management using Kerlink Wirnet(TM) LoRaWAN gateways and AIUT's
sensors.

AIUT deployed the wireless network in Piekary ?l?skie, a city of 55,000
residents spread across 40 square kilometers. As part of its portfolio of Smart
City IoT solutions, AIUT provides cities with flexible, easy-to-use and
quick-to- implement systems for remote, stationary utility-meter readouts,
measurement and leak detection based on the best and most cost-effective
technologies. The hourly and daily readouts provide real-time monitoring of the
municipal water supply network's operation, while reducing operating costs for
the water utility.

Commissioned by the Municipal Water and Sewerage Company in Piekary ?l?skie,
the system includes approximately 6,500 IoT smart devices attached to water
meters for transmitting usage data via 15 Kerlink Wirnet iStations to the
system's central water-control office.

Kerlink, a leading provider of solutions for designing, launching and operating
public and private LoRaWAN IoT networks, offers a comprehensive product
portfolio of leading industrial-grade network equipment, best-of- breed
network-core, operations and management software and value-added applications.
The company has more than 120,000 installations in 69 countries in all the
primary IoT verticals.

This is the first implementation of its kind and scale in Poland, covering an
entire city and utilizing LoRaWAN technology. The system also opens the way for
development of smart-city applications and shows that the inevitable use of IoT
technology is the strategic direction for the Polish economy to develop, which
has been confirmed by the Polish Ministry of Digitization.

"The network in Piekary ?l?skie confirms that smart-city systems provide the
same benefits to all cities - no matter their size. Water-purchase
optimization, incident and leak detection, e-billing and lower service fees are
just some of the benefits of implementing such smart solutions," said Artur
Gabry?, director of the Smart City IoT Division at AIUT. "It is well known
that good ROI in digitization of urban infrastructure will largely depend both
on the solutions and technologies available on the market as well as the
competence to implement them properly. It is therefore important to choose the
right technology partner, and Kerlink has shown in multiple LoRaWAN networks
around the world that its simple and reliable solutions ensure top
performance."

"For nearly 30 years, AIUT has been committed to helping businesses and water
utilities adopt and benefit by the latest industrial technologies that improve
efficiency and lower operating costs," said Stéphane Dejean, Kerlink CMO. "As
a leading provider of Internet of Things solutions, the company is developing
smart systems that can seamlessly integrate Kerlink's industrial-grade hardware
and software products for multiple smart applications."
