Integrated Mobile Services on Demand

Expected to Contribute to First Quarter 2018 Revenue

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, January 5, 2018 – Pareteum Corporation (NYSE American: TEUM), the rapidly growing Cloud Communications Platform company, today announced it has activated service to one of its Application Provider IoT customers, which was previously announced as new customer on October 11, 2017.

This deployment signals planned revenue in the first quarter of 2018, ahead of schedule, and reinforces the efficiency of Pareteum’s Global Cloud Platform (GCP). Pareteum’s GCP enables its customer’s subscribers, including members of their widely growing Application Programming Interface (API) Developer Community, to add mobility services directly to their Banking, Social Media, Call Centers, consumer facing applications, and App Store Products.

“Our move to the cloud has allowed us to fundamentally change use cases and opportunities not only for our company but for our customers,” stated Vic Bozzo Pareteum’s CEO. “The growing Pareteum development community is seeing the ability to incorporate mobility into their applications for the first time in a self-service model by directly connecting to our API without having to wait for the long cycles of provisioning to the network, which ultimately means recognizing revenue faster.”

“The digital economy, and its monetization is being driven by application developers, creating an API economy. Pareteum, as an integral part of the Digital and API Economy ecosystem, is poised to support geometric growth for these companies with our securely offered Blockchain solutions, as part of our Global Cloud services.
