3-Year Contract Enables Retailer to Launch Mobile Virtual Network Operator

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, February 23, 2018 – Pareteum Corporation (NYSE American: TEUM), the rapidly growing Cloud Communications Platform company, today announced it has been awarded a 3-year contract to provide its Global Cloud Platform to an online retail marketplace company.

The contract is scheduled to add over $1,400,000 to Pareteum’s 36-month contractual revenue backlog based on the initial schedule of connections and active users.

Under the terms of the agreement, the customer, which services retailers of all sizes and consumers worldwide, will leverage their growing subscriber base, which has experienced compound annual growth of 85% over the last 3 years, by providing mobile services powered by Pareteum’s Global Cloud Platform.
