Göteborg – TalkPool AB and Tele2 AB, today announces that they will cooperate in
enabling a Machine-to-Machine/Internet of Things (M2M/IoT) dedicated LPWAN (Low
Power Wide Area Networks) IoT network based on LoRaWAN technology in greater
Gothenburg. This technology will be used for development and integration of IoT
applications in several customer verticals.

This initiative will enable many more IoT applications in Gothenburg through an
innovative radio technology that is already deployed and in operation in many
countries in Europe and other parts of the world. TalkPool in partnership with
Tele2 will act as integrator and consultant customers who have a need to get
their equipment/products connected to the Tele2 IoT network. This includes
connected things for smart city solutions, public transportation, utility,
environmental and several tracking applications.

TalkPool will be responsible for the IoT network deployment and design of
M2M/IoT solutions. This, combined with Tele2’s world class M2M/IoT leadership,
will bring forward innovative and unmatched solutions to enable the companies in
Gothenburg to take a forefront position in the digitalization.

Robert Spertina, Head of IoT comments: “We are very excited about our
partnership with Tele2 and this will enable Gothenburg to further strengthen its
position on the Nordic IoT arena. This will open new doors by leveraging our
respective strengths and commonly address applications and use cases that until
now have been economically unfeasible to connect. There is an unexplored
potential for customer IoT use-cases that will be addressed when we combine our
competences and capabilities and help bring innovative IoT solutions at very
competitive price-points.”
