Kerlink Wirnet(TM) Stations Powering Comprehensive Environmental Monitoring
System in India

Smart-City Project with Oizom Monitoring Particulates, Industrial Emissions,
Air-Borne Toxic Gases and Odors, as Well as Weather Conditions and Noise

PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Ahmedabad, India - Nov. 15, 2018, 06:00 p.m.
CET - In a smart-city project to help the city of Kakinada, India, to monitor
both air-and-noise pollution and other environmental hazards, Kerlink (ALKLK -
FR0013156007), a specialist and global leader in solutions dedicated to the
Internet of Things (IoT), and Oizom, an environmental-monitoring-system
provider, today announced that Kerlink's Wirnet(TM) Stations are powering
Oizom's comprehensive, ambient air-quality monitoring system, Polludrone, in
that city.

Environmental monitoring, including noting harmful noise levels in urban
environments, is a key smart-city use case and capability brought by Internet
of Things (IoT) networks in cities around the world. The European Commission
has included both air pollution and noise levels as serious health concerns for
EU citizens. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported that nearly
all cities in low- and middle-income countries of more than 100,000 people, and
nearly half similarly sized cities in high-income countries, do not meet WHO
air-quality guidelines.

Polludrone is a real-time, state-of-the-art, pollution-monitoring solution that
leverages LoRaWAN(TM) private networks to monitor particulate concentration,
industrial emissions, air-borne toxic gases and odors, as well as traffic,
weather conditions and noise.

"Kerlink's LoRaWAN(TM) Wirnet stations are powering public and private IoT
networks in cities around the world because of their flexibility and superb
performance in challenging conditions," said Stéphane Dejean, Kerlink's chief
marketing officer. "They are the ideal gateway for Polludrone's extensive
environmental- monitoring solution, which requires robust and reliable outdoor
stations that can handle high numbers of end devices and manage millions of
bi-directional messages every day."

Oizom and its local partner, Sterlite Tech, recently deployed Polludrone,
including Wirnet stations, across Kakinada, a city of more 370,000 people where
industrial growth, increased traffic and other factors are creating challenging
air-quality conditions.

"Infrastructure costs and reliability are key factors to consider in network
rollouts of this scope," said Jainam Mehta, Oizom's chief marketing officer.
"We chose LoRa technology and Kerlink gateways for the deployment, because they
enable energy-efficient, performant and long-range data communication that
supports the most advanced IoT environmental sensors for successful and robust
deployments."
