the vast LPWA IoT markets across the country."

LPWA networking will enable us to capitalize on the immense opportunities presented in the
IoT era."
ThingPark China will initially focus on delivering solutions to customers in China. In
addition to deploying ThingPark Wireless connectivity, network operations and data
management, both as SaaS and "on-premise" services, ThinkPark China will resell LPWA
hardware.
"This is the most exciting time to get into the most exciting market in IoT,"
concludes Mulica. "With our partner Foxconn, we know ThingPark China is going to be one of
the most dynamic and powerful forces in the IoT business in the world."
