Kerlink Supports Expansion of Senet's Low Power Wide Area Network In Las
Vegas for Commercial Deployments and CES IoT Demonstrations

Roll Out Achieves Market First with Geolocation Service without using GPS On
North American Public LoRaWAN(TM) Network

PRESS RELEASE

LAS VEGAS, NV - Monday, Jan. 8th 2017, 06:00 PM CET - Senet, a leading provider
of cloud-based software, global connectivity service platforms and network
build-out for the Internet of Things (IoT), and Kerlink (ALKLK - FR0013156007),
a specialist and global leader in network solutions dedicated to the IoT, today
announced a collaborative expansion of Senet's global Low Power Wide Area
Network (LPWA) in the Las Vegas area to support a variety of commercial
solution offerings, market trials and proofs of concept.

Powered by Kerlink's 64-channel Wirnet(TM) iBTS gateways to expand Senet's
public outdoor network coverage, the network also will provide indoor
connectivity for Senet's partners to demonstrate IoT applications at this
year's CES.

In addition to expanding Senet's network coverage and capacity, the roll out
represents the first production network in North America to support LoRaWAN(TM)
geolocation. This functionality uses a different technology than GPS,
eliminating the requirement for costly and battery hungry processing GPS
requires. This functionality is supported by Senet's LoRa(r) end-nodes, and can
be used for a wide range of applications requiring location determination for
battery powered endpoints that do not require the precision of GPS. Demand for
these services is significant, with a third of the world's 15 billion connected
devices forecasted to be critically dependent on geodata by the end of 2020,
according to Machina Research.

The IoT is a broadly covered topic at CES, including sessions on smart homes,
connected cities, healthcare and wearable technology, along with several
dedicated demonstration areas for IoT infrastructure. To run demo applications
on the Senet network during CES, companies simply need to register on Senet's
Developer Portal to coordinate access.

"Strong ecosystem partnerships and critical technical advantages have allowed
Senet to become a leading IoT connectivity-software and solutions provider,"
said Dave Kjendal, CTO of Senet. "We are pleased to be working with trusted
partners like Kerlink to bring geolocation and other enhanced features to
market in order to meet the demands of mass scale IoT deployments."

"We are excited to support expansion of Senet's Low Power Wide Area Virtual
Network in Las Vegas, which will bring new IoT benefits like geolocation to
companies in the region, and enable a variety of innovative IoT demos at CES,"
said Carlos Briceno, senior director of sales and business development for
Kerlink Inc. "It also marks Kerlink's first large IoT network deployment in the
U.S. and an expansion of our international footprint, following roll outs
across Europe, and in South America, New Zealand and India."

Senet partners demonstrating applications on its network at CES include
MultiTech (booth #2214, Westgate Resort & Casino), Sagemcom (Venetian, Lvl 3 -
Murano 3201B), Semtech (booth #2215, Westgate Resort & Casino),
STMicroelectronics (Wynn Encore Hospitality Suites), Tektelic (Venetian Tower -
Suite 31-201), and TrackNet (LoRa Alliance booth #2121, Westgate Resort &
Casino).

Teams from Senet and Kerlink will be at CES for meetings with customers,
potential customers and media. To schedule a meeting with Senet, please contact
Ken Lynch at klynch@senetco.com. Kerlink will demonstrate its products in its
hospitality suite at the Venetian Palazzo. To meet with Kerlink
representatives, please contact Carlos Briceno at c.briceno@kerlink.com

About LoRaWAN(TM) Technology
The technology used in a LoRaWAN(TM) network is designed to connect low-cost,
battery-operated sensors over long distances in harsh environments that were
previously too challenging or cost-prohibitive to connect. With its unique
penetration capability, a LoRaWAN(TM) gateway deployed on a building or tower
can connect to sensors more than 10 kilometres away or to water meters deployed
underground or in basements. The LoRaWAN(TM) protocol offers unique and
unequalled benefits in terms of bidirectionality, security, mobility and
accurate localization that are not addressed by other LPWAN technologies. These
benefits will enable the diverse use cases and business models that will grow
deployments of LPWAN IoT networks globally.
