PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Gauteng, South Africa - Jan. 14, 2020, 6:00 pm
CEST - Kerlink (AKLK - FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated to
the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced its expansion into South Africa
and a distribution agreement with IoTdc, a distributor of connected hardware
and device-related applications for the IoT in that country.

Kerlink, a leading provider of solutions for designing, launching, and
operating public and private LoRaWAN(r) IoT networks, offers a comprehensive
product portfolio of industrial-grade network equipment, best-of-breed
network-core, operations, and management software, and value-added
applications.

Serving solutions integrators, IT/IoT resellers and telcos, IoTdc focuses on
primary verticals such as agriculture, mining, smart cities, smart homes,
retail, medicine, construction, and manufacturing through pre-defined and
tested bundles of hardware and software.

As part of the global expansion in the deployment of IoT technologies, the
Middle East and Africa region is expected to show sector spending growth from
$8.47 billion in 2019 to nearly $18 billion by 2023, according to the global
technology research and consulting firm International Data Corporation (IDC).
Spending will be led by the big-four countries in the region, South Africa,
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and UAE.

"South Africa is a logical and strategic addition to Kerlink's growing
international footprint, which includes more than 120,000 IoT installations in
69 countries," said Romain Weryk, Kerlink's key account manager. "With IoTdc's
focus on providing technology integrators and resellers with a single-window
distribution platform to access quality-verified connected devices specifically
designed for vertical markets, and to support services quickly, reliably and
seamlessly, IoTdc will be a strong partner for Kerlink in the region."

"IoTdc thoroughly tests all of our suppliers' products before presenting them
to our channel partners," said Theo Barnard, IoTdc's head of product.
"Kerlink's portfolio of hardware and software solutions clearly lived up to its
global reputation for reliability, flexibility, and durability. As both a
pioneer in the introduction of M2M and IoT connectivity and a recognized
leading provider of world-class equipment and software solutions, Kerlink's
formal entry into the South Africa market is good news for companies that are
eager to design and deploy IoT networks customized to meet their specific
needs."
