Management Commentary

 

Owen Moore CEO and Founder stated “the fiscal 2017 ended with record revenue and a strong balance sheet allowing the team to continue to grow revenue and backlog.  We are on the cusp of rolling out our disruptive LPWA cellular solution to strong interest from our partners.  The successful pilot of this solution at Henry Pelham in a real-world application further solidifies the disruptive nature of the technology we have created.  Our distribution platform of value added resellers is really starting to convert pilots into revenue and the launch of our LPWAN cellular Beacon will compliment nicely our current product offering and deepen our penetration into the rapidly expanding environmental monitoring and asset tracking space.
