<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">DALLAS, TX and LAS VEGAS, NV, May 7, 2019
&ndash; Polte Corporation, the leader in advanced Cloud Location over Cellular (C-LoC) technology, and GeoTraq Inc., a Mobile IoT
module manufacturer and connectivity provider, today announced a collaboration to embed Polte location technologies into two new
GeoTraq NB-IoT/ LTE-M modules: the Tracker-Module GT-TM100 and Sensor-Module GT-SM100.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Polte&rsquo;s C-LoC location solution enables
GeoTraq to eliminate the need for GPS/GNSS radios by leveraging globally available Mobile IoT (NB-IoT and LTE-M) networks. In
addition to providing wide-area outdoor coverage from rural to dense urban, Polte&rsquo;s location solution enables highly-accurate
tracking indoors, even when objects are inside vehicles or in shipping containers. Polte&rsquo;s cloud-based secure from chip-to-cloud
software solution enables unprecedented reach for locating things wherever they are.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">GeoTraq&rsquo;s Tracker-Module GT-TM100
is designed specifically for low-cost asset tracking and other location-based intelligent use cases. The module&rsquo;s ultra-small
16 x 12 mm form factor allows it to be incorporated into almost any existing or new battery powered machine, tool, or product to
provide intelligent insights.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">GeoTraq&rsquo;s Sensor-Module GT-SM100
offers the fastest, most secure, and efficient Mobile IoT connectivity. The GT-SM100 includes both an eSIM and connectors for easy
attachment of antennas, batteries, and a variety of sensors, including temperature, flow, pressure, humidity, motion, acceleration,
and more. The Sensor-Module GT-SM100 operates by transmitting small packets of data for scheduled reports or trigger-based event
alerts, which GeoTraq expects will be configured using the GeoTraq&rsquo;s WebTraq&trade; portal and integrated to the customer&rsquo;s
choice of IoT platforms for visualization.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Polte CEO Ed Chao explained, &ldquo;We
see a huge market opportunity for low-cost, battery powered IoT asset trackers across many industry verticals from shipping &amp;
transportation to manufacturing to tracking everyday objects. We are at the very beginning of what is possible with Mobile IoT.&rdquo;
Chao went on to say, &ldquo;Polte&rsquo;s positioning technologies together with GeoTraq&rsquo;s innovative Mobile IoT modules
deliver on the promise of the Internet of Things. The most common everyday objects will now be able to connect at an extremely
low cost with very low power.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">GeoTraq General Manager and 30-year wireless
industry veteran, Pierre Parent, shares, &ldquo;We have been working with Polte for over a year and they have a superior technology
for adding location services to our small, low-cost line of Mobile IoT modules. We believe that the business world has not fully
grasped the changes that are occurring in the tracking industry and the advancements that positioning on the LTE radio channel
will provide. Historical tracking solutions use GPS, which adds $3-$4 in extra component costs and produces a significant drain
on the battery life. If your goal is to build a disposable tracking tag for less than $10 to monitor critical materials and packages
while they are in the mail, GPS is a non-starter. It&rsquo;s too bulky, expensive, and probably won&rsquo;t work indoors. Polte
resolves these problems for us, allowing GeoTraq to produce a low-cost module with enhanced location positioning technology.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Both Polte and GeoTraq will be exhibiting
at Internet of Things World in Santa Clara, CA, May 14-16, 2019. To get more information, visit Polte at booth #943 and GeoTraq
