Wyld Networks’ Interim Report 1 January–31 December 2021: Increased customer demand
The fourth quarter saw an increase in customer demand for Wyld Networks as the company continued to secure significant partner agreements ahead of the commercial launch of Wyld’s LoRaWAN® satellite IoT solution.
CEO Alastair Williamson:
“In our commercial negotiations we have started to engage customers from a new market segment compared to those we signed so far in 2021. In the fourth quarter we expanded our engagement to sign agreements – and form a consortium – with some of the world’s largest terrestrial LoRaWAN® IoT operators such as American Tower and Senet.
The Wyld team continue to make terrific progress as we complete the foundations for a successful commercial launch of our satellite IoT solution planned for later this year. As a leading virtual satellite network operator, we are well positioned to leverage on the growing customer needs in global IoT connectivity.”
