Wyld Networks’ Half-Year Report 2021: A strong second quarter performance
The second quarter 2021 exceeded Wyld Networks’ expectations with the company signing contracts with six new customers. These included Chevron in the oil and gas sector and Rijk Zwaan, in agricultural, who both signed-up to test and demonstrate Wyld Networks’ satellite Internet of Things (IoT) solution ahead of its commercial launch.
Commenting on the Half-Year Report, CEO Alastair Williamson said:
“We are very pleased to have been listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market this summer, realising funding that will allow Wyld Networks to further develop and commercialise our satellite IoT solution.
Our product Wyld Connect is currently in the pre-commercial test phase in advance if the commercial launch. Our strategy in this phase has been to focus on signing agreements with companies as test and launch partners.
In Q1, we signed contracts with Fujitsu, a global technology company, KWS, a global agricultural seed supplier, and Wezen in Brazil.
In Q2, we secured six new agreements with companies in global oil and gas, environment, and agriculture industries. We will continue to expand engagement with new partners in these markets, as well as in water and electricity utilities and in the maritime sector”.
