Telit and Yokogawa to collaborate on new IIoT Architecture

London, February 6, 2017 - Telit Communications PLC (AIM: TCM, "Telit", the "Group"), a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced it is collaborating with Yokogawa, a global leader in the industrial automation and control, test and measurement, aviation and other business segments, on a new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) architecture.

By combining Telit's robust technological portfolio of communication modules, sensor onboarding, and device management capabilities with Yokogawa's 100+ years of experience in providing devices, analytical instruments and other industrial solutions, Yokogawa will be able to create new value for its customers.

Telit will contribute three critical components to the Yokogawa IIoT Architecture:

· a broad portfolio of wireless IoT communication modules whose common form factors necessitate only one hardware design per global deployment,

· a diverse collection of industrial drivers and edge analytics which enable a robust sensor onboarding capability, and

· powerful connectivity and device management capabilities.

Fred Yentz, CEO of Telit IoT Platforms, commented:

"This collaboration is another good example of our ability to develop technical and operational partnerships with key industry operators in order to widen our end-to-end solution capabilities for all types of enterprises around the world."

Telit technologies integrate seamlessly to Yokogawa's managed cloud architecture, enabling hyper-scale ingestion of millions of events from industrial assets and devices.

Tsuyoshi Abe, Yokogawa vice president and head of the company's Marketing Headquarters, said:

"For its 100th anniversary in 2015, Yokogawa came up with Co-innovating tomorrow as its new corporate brand slogan. Accordingly, we are making efforts to develop new solutions and create new value in collaboration with our customers and partners.

"Telit's expertise in the Industrial Internet of Things segment combined with their outstanding portfolio of Internet of Things technology will allow us to accelerate our development of services. This added agility is exactly what we need to create that value."

Yokogawa and Telit will hold a joint presentation on their IIoT partnership at Telit's IoT Innovation and the IoT Evolution Expo, both occurring February 7 to 10 in Ft Lauderdale, Florida.
