TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 11/14/16 — Wi2Wi Corporation (“Wi2Wi” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: YTY) announces results for the quarter ending September 30, 2016.
Highlights
The decrease in revenues for the three month period ending September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was due to:
Investment in R&D: The Company commenced a modest product development program. The current investment in R&D is anticipated to positively impact operations in late 2017. A number of potential customers are in the process of evaluating the Company–s new products released in the first half of 2016. However, the Company does not recognize a design win until the customer certification process is fully complete. These products will take in excess of 18 months to yield meaningful revenue. Historically, the useful life of Connectivity products are in excess of 8 years, and in excess of 15 years for Frequency Control and Timing Devices. The Company is actively looking to raise capital to expedite new product development for both Wireless Connectivity Devices and Frequency Control Devices.
“The Company–s efforts in 2016 will be focused on stabilizing the business increasing gross margins, winning back customer confidence, and promoting new products that were announced recently, in addition to developing new products specifically targeting IoT applications. We are seeing increased customer inquiries for the new products released from the IoT market. The company is actively looking to raise growth capital. ” said Mr. Zachariah Mathews, President & CEO of the Company.
About IoT and M2M
Essentially, IoT and M2M describe the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Driven by several factors including the growth in the availability of Broadband Internet, which reduces the cost of connecting, and the related increase in Wi-Fi capabilities as well as sensors built into myriad technologies, this has been described as the “perfect storm” for the IoT. Almost any device with an on and off switch that can be connected to the Internet (and/or to each other) – anything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices, cars, as well as machine components in the engine of a jet airplane or the drill of an oil rig. According to analyst firm Gartner, by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices. Others think this figure could be too conservative by a factor of four.
