4 Our strategic focus Connectivity Software Large-scale Ecosystem We are focused on providing the most reliable, optimized, scalable and simple to use device connectivity to our customers. We are focused on the software for de-centralized device connectivity and nothing else. We focus on large scale IoT applications where we can create unique value and an optimized solution for our customers. We focus on building partnerships so that we can together offer turn key solutions for end customers. Things connected - Naturally 6/7/2016 4

5 End to end IoT made easy Device Network Collect Store Analyze and act Devices + radio hardware + connectivity protocol Gateway; cellular, WiFi, Ethernet Database local or cloud based Back end system + user interface Things connected - Naturally 6/7/2016 5

6 We license the protocol The customer delivery includes the protocol firmware and the network diagnostics tool for monitoring the status and operation of the network. Volume pricing: One-time license fee and onetime royalty/device No recurrent charge for communication The device brings the network Things connected - Naturally 6/7/2016 6

7 We focus on large-scale industrial and infrastructure IoT Optimized Smart meters Sensors Beacons We take the application requirements as the starting point. We optimize the protocol according to the applications needs to achieve the optimized solution. For us, technology is the enabler, not the starting point. Electricity Gas Environmental sensoring Preventive maintenance Positioning Advertising Because of the unique architecture of Wirepas Connectivity we are able to optimize it to different application requirements. We have made special configurations of our connectivity to fit the needs of electricity meters, sensors and beacons for example.
