Kerlink and DataLong16 Will Demonstrate Asset-Tracking System in Port of
Barcelona at MWC

Pilot Project Allows Port Managers to Dispatch Closest Maintenance Crews for
Urgent Facility Repairs in Real Time

PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Barcelona, Spain - Feb. 21, 2018, 6:00 p.m. CET
- Kerlink (ALKLK - FR0013156007), a specialist and global leader in solutions
dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT), and DataLong16, a leader in
asset-monitoring solutions, today announced the pilot deployment of an IoT
network in the Port of Barcelona to help port authorities track and dispatch
maintenance personnel in the port.

In addition to determining the exact location of the 10 vehicles in the port's
maintenance fleet in real time, the application will enable authorities to
respond to calls for urgent repairs to facilities and equipment by sending
personnel who are closest to the scene of the problem to make repairs.

Kerlink is providing its Wanesy(TM) Management Center to power the LoRa(r) core
network, its Wirnet(TM) iBTS Compact LoRaWAN(TM) gateways to cover the entire
area, and its Wanesy(TM) Geolocation solver to provide geographic coordinates.
The fleet monitoring system uses the LPWAN Development Kit from Flex, the
Sketch-to-Scale(tm) solutions provider that designs and builds Intelligent
Products for a Connected World(tm), embedded in maintenance vehicles and
communicating over the network to enable geolocation. DataLong16 is designing
and operating the application software to map the vehicles' status, locate the
mission and route the nearest repair team on the spot.

Kerlink and DataLong16 will demonstrate this solution during Mobile World
Congress at Kerlink's booth (8.0 C11), February 26 to March 1.

"LoRa(r) offers a longer application range at lower power consumption than
competing technologies and was ideal for our bi-directional IoT communication
and monitoring applications, including geolocation," said Miquel Delamano,
DataLong16 IoT network director. "Furthermore, the data is natively encrypted,
assuring secure transmission. Working with Kerlink in a rapidly expanding IoT
market will help us offer our customers, such as the Port of Barcelona,
connectivity solutions to effectively manage assets and improve their fleet
operations."

"Like IoT network deployments in smart cities where Kerlink's equipment is used
to track assets, DataLong16's system in the Port of Barcelona will immediately
provide the port operator with insights of how their maintenance fleet is used
and ways to make it more efficient," said Virginie Bonnot, Kerlink Advanced
Services business unit sales director.
