BeWhere Holdings Inc. Announces PTCRB Certification and The Commercial Launch in North America of the First of its Kind Mobile IoT Devices for Asset Tracking and Environmental Sensing using LTE-M

Toronto, ON, December 19, 2017 – BeWhere Holdings Inc. (TSX-V: BEW, OTCQB: BEWFF) (“BeWhere” or the “Company”) today announces it has received PTCRB industry certification for its Mobile IoT beacons, paving the way for the commercial launch of these cellular devices in North America.  BeWhere’s M-IoT beacons are small rugged devices, either solar or battery powered, that attach to non-powered mobile or fixed assets. The devices then transfer location and sensor data through Low Power Wide Area (“LPWA”) cellular networks to BeWhere’s secure cloud platform. BeWhere’s state-of-the-art sensors gather and deliver the environmental and situational information that gives visibility into the near real-time status of assets/equipment. Protected by industrially-hardened packaging, they measure location, light, battery, temperature, impact, barometric pressure and humidity from both the environment and the asset itself.  BeWhere’s innovative and flexible design allows sensors to be customized to fit customers’ specific needs such as flood detection.  BeWhere M-IoT beacons are the first of their kind cellular devices using LTE-M in North America and will be offered at a cost point never seen before, opening a large untapped market.

Owen Moore, founder & CEO, commented “Being one of the first to market is important and PTCRB certification is the last step in the commercialization process.  This is a very exciting milestone for our team and shareholders as it opens up a large market opportunity which I’m very excited for.”

With PTCRB certification, operators and device manufacturers are confident of a device’s interoperability with mobile networks.  Established in 1997 by leading wireless operators, PTCRB defines the test requirements to verify compliance with global industry standards for wireless cellular devices.  Member operators are committed to ensuring device quality through a rigorous verification process. Without PTCRB certification, manufacturers, run the risk that their devices will be blocked on wireless networks.
