Pareteum Accelerates Eastern European Expansion with Contract from Established Russian Operator

$1 Million 3-Year Contract Broadens its Global Cloud Services and Customer Connectivity to Eastern Europe and Beyond

NEW YORK, NY – PRNewswire – February 2, 2018 – Pareteum Corporation (NYSE American: TEUM), (“Pareteum” or the “Company”), the rapidly growing Cloud Communications Platform company, today announced that is has signed a $1 million 3-year contract to provide its Global Cloud Services Platform to an established Russian Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). The agreement entails connectivity for roaming, airtime, voice and SMS to a broader addressable market of consumer, enterprise and mobile connections.

Utilizing Pareteum’s Global Cloud Services Platform, this brand service provider will enable their mobile customers to connect and transact on mobile devices beyond their home region. Pareteum is powering the MVNO to expand its subscriber revenues through global connectivity and data, without the need for investment in additional infrastructure or software. Under the terms of the contract, Pareteum will be paid for every subscriber that runs on the platform monthly, and additionally for the connections they make with applicable transaction fees. The MVNO currently serves tens of thousands of customers and a combination of existing and new customers will be migrated to the Pareteum Cloud. The service is expected to go live before the second half of the year and will generate $1 million over the next 36 months in contractual revenue backlog.

Vic Bozzo, CEO of Pareteum commented, “We set in motion last year a strategy to acquire customers in every corner of the globe by giving them one simple platform and connectivity in as many places as we could through partnerships with incumbent Mobile Network Operators and Carriers. This latest win is specifically a result of the hard work of our talented sales force and market leading technology with simple interfaces and bundled connections.”

Hal Turner, Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer of Pareteum stated, “The network effect (every new addition to our Cloud adds capability that was not there beforehand) continues with this announcement. Significantly, the recognition that the combination of connections, relevant new technology delivered through TEUM’s Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS), and the power of our Global Cloud, all bundled into one solution, able to connect anything anywhere, creates new revenue streams for Communications Service Providers (CSP), with their own branded offerings sourced through the Pareteum Global Cloud.”
