Collaboration and Co-Marketing Agreement

ALLENTOWN, PA / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Iota Communications, Inc. (OTC PINK:IOTC) ("IotaComm" or the "Company"), a wireless communication and data analytics software company, is pleased to announce a partnership with P3 Connected Cities ("P3CC"), a joint venture between Connected Cities Integrators, Inc. and P3 Smart City Partners, Inc., global leaders in the development of smart, resilient, and economically sound data, technology, and infrastructure solutions.

IotaComm and P3CC will bring together their respective technologies and expertise to deliver unique sets of urban data solutions. The companies will work in close collaboration to focus on delivering economically-sustainable "smart city" solutions that provide enhanced connectivity and economic growth opportunities for the municipalities, utilities and mixed-use/mixed-income communities they partner with and ensure the technical and financial objectives of these innovative programs are being achieved. Both companies will drive increased revenue by implementing these new smart city solutions with current clients as well as new deployments for cities and communities within their existing pipeline.

The smart city concept integrates information and communication technology (ICT), and physical devices such as cameras and a variety of sensors connected to IoT ("Internet of Things") communication networks designed to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and enable improved citizen engagement with their community. Smart city technology allows city officials to monitor and control city assets and infrastructure and gain enhanced situational awareness of the urban space to support improved public safety. ICT is also used to enhance quality, performance, and interactivity of urban services, to reduce costs and resource consumption and to increase engagement between citizens and government.

Together, IotaComm and P3CC will engage with municipalities, utilities and mixed-use/mixed-income communities to deliver solutions addressing:

  • Community Connectivity
  • Public Safety
  • City Operations and Services
  • Citizen Engagement
  • Public Health
  • Urban Mobility & Transportation
  • Education & Technology-based Learning
  • Economic Development
  • Improved Quality of Life

Terrence DeFranco, President and Chief Executive Officer of Iota Communications commented, "We are thrilled to partner with P3 Connected Cities, industry-recognized experts specializing in data expression, visualization, and monetization solutions for cities around the world. Their mission of helping communities access, unlock, and extract maximum revenue and strategic value from their data is a perfect fit for our connectivity and data analytics solutions and is an indication of how we uniquely bring value to cities with our low-power wide area network capabilities based on licensed spectrum. This relationship with P3CC opens immediate business opportunities for IotaComm and we look forward to delivering an exceptional customer experience for cities across the US."

Jack Hanley, Managing Partner of P3 Connected Cities, stated, "We are extremely excited to work closely with Iota Communications as their network expertise and capabilities solve numerous critical pain points in delivering successful smart city deployments. The unique asset that the IotaComm team has assembled is ideal for infrastructure-level smart city applications which enables us to develop significantly more cost-effective solutions for the communities we serve."

According to a report published in February, 2020 by research firm Grand View Research, the global smart cities market size was $83.9 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 24.7% from 2020 to 2027.
