Kerlink & Microshare Collaborate Again in LoRaWAN
Building-and-Asset-Management Solution from Aramark

AIWX Connect Uses Information from Building Systems, Sensors & Occupants to
Provide Real-Time Data About Building Performance and Help Protect Occupants
from Covid-19

PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Philadelphia, USA - March 4, 2021, 6:00 p.m.
CEST - Kerlink (AKLK - FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated to
the Internet of Things (IoT), and Microshare, the leading data-management
solution provider for the IoT era, today announced their stations and sensors
are powering a new building-and-asset-management solution created by Aramark, a
global leader in food, facilities management and uniforms.

Designed to help facility owners and operators deliver a safer and
better-performing workplace experience, Aramark Intelligent Workplace
EXperience, or AIWX Connect, is a technology platform that uses digital inputs
from building systems, wireless sensors, and occupant feedback to provide
real-time data about building performance, occupant satisfaction and space
utilization. A feature of the platform is increased flexibility for facility
owners and managers to help protect building occupants from Covid-19.

"Covid-19 has increased the need for building managers to better understand
employee traffic patterns and how workspace is utilized, to ensure the office
is properly maintained," said John Hanner, president, Aramark's Facilities
Services division. "AIWX Connect combines the power of data with the knowledge
of operations, to create safer environments and improved building
performance."

Aramark, a Fortune 200 company also based in Philadelphia, developed AIWX
Connect to solve for the variables of knowing when, where and, most important,
how to allocate resources to the most-needed areas, based on actual demand. The
platform leverages real-time data gathered by Microshare's IoT platform
transmitted by Kerlink equipment with Aramark's deep facilities expertise to
identify actionable insights for improvement. These actions are integrated into
an operating delivery model and planning programs to significantly improve the
user experience and building performance.

"Smart IoT solutions that closely monitor both occupancy and status of
buildings and facilities are key to reopening spaces that had to close because
of the pandemic's spread," said Charles Paumelle, Microshare's chief product
officer. "By combining Kerlink and Microshare's expertise, which was jointly
demonstrated in our 2020 collaboration to enable contact tracing, we have
helped deploy systems that will bring buildings into the IoT era."

In 2020, Kerlink and Microshare launched a LoRaWAN(r)-based, contact-tracing
system that does not rely on smartphones or GPS technology or collected
sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and helps workers to feel
safe in their workplace, while protecting their privacy.

"Powerful and responsive smart-solutions such as those developed by Aramark for
AIWX Connect are another on-point example of the robustness and flexibility of
Kerlink's products and their compatibility with Microshare's technology," said
Stéphane Dejean, Kerlink's chief marketing officer. "This solution's adoption
by Aramark, a diversified, global operator, highlights LoRaWAN's ability to
expand the IoT's applications to a new level of health protection."
