NEW YORK, NEW YORK, December 5, 2017 – Pareteum Corporation (NYSE American: TEUM), (“Pareteum” or the “Company”), the rapidly growing mobile Cloud Communications Platform company, announced today that its previously awarded $24 Million agreement with a leading Eastern European telecommunications company has been extended to now include Smart City.
A Smart City is an urban area that uses different types of electronic data collection sensors to supply information used to manage assets and resources efficiently. This includes data collected from citizens, devices, and assets that is processed and analyzed to monitor and manage traffic and transportation systems, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services. The smart city concept integrates information and communication technology with various physical devices connected to the network (the Internet of Things or IoT) to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and connect to citizens. Smart City technology allows city officials to interact directly with both community and city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the city and how the city is evolving.
The Smart City award will add an incremental $8 Million revenue over the next five years. The overall program with the Eastern European telecommunications company is currently in deployment and activation. The Smart City initiatives include clean air monitoring, first responder networks, smart grid, smart meters, energy management, location tracking and high bandwidth Internet.
