Breaking #Tech/ #Telecom #Stock News - iQSTEL, Inc. (OTC: $IQST) Executes Acquisition of Revenue Generating SMS-Carrier Assets; Forms New JV for SMS Business for Wholesale Carrier and Corporate Solutions; @IQstel



NEW YORK, NY, February 12, 2020 - (Investorideas.com Newswire )- Breaking Tech Stock News - iQSTEL Inc. (OTC: IQST)  today announced the execution of an acquisition agreement for an SMS Business. A new 51% owned JV is being created for this business acquisition.


The SMS market is primarily made up of 3 areas: App-to-Person (A2P), Person-to-Person (P2P) and cloud-based services for corporate clients. The global market sees 5 billion people using SMS messaging according to SlickText. By 2025 that number is expected to hit 6 billion with the driving force of 5G deployment. China, USA, Japan and most of Europe are the dominant markets with Latin America close behind.
         
Mr. Iglesias, the Company’s CEO stated: “With this acquisition, iQSTEL now has the IT and carrier agreements to officially launch its SMS business. The acquisition is inclusive of current carrier contracts that currently generate approximately $600,000 per year, thus will be accretive to revenue from day 1. This additional technology will be cross-sold with iQSTEL’s current carrier base, and increased inventory, allowing for a projected annual revenue rate of $6 million within 9-12 months. The name of the new company will be QGlobal SMS.”

“The SMS market as a whole provides for an increased margin over VOIP services, thereby providing for a strong return to the company. A2P (App-to-Person) continues to grow as this is the two factor authentication service that many people and companies (Microsoft, Facebook, banks, etc) are now using in addition to username/passwords. Security is an important component to the global economy and this acquisition allows iQSTEL Inc. (OTC: IQST) to not only benefit revenue wise, but to bring this added security layer to Latin America and other countries,” concluded Mr. Iglesias, the Company’s CEO.


Companies are shifting their communications from phone/voice and email to SMS as statistics show the majority of people prefer SMS over phone or email contact, in addition to responding faster. An added benefit is all phones support SMS for two factor authentication (A2P) bypassing any app compatibility issues. The A2P market is currently exploding as seen in the MobileSquared chart.

White House Report Confirms Ramp-up in AI R&D Funding

Following yesterday’s news anticipating President Trump’s 2021 budget proposal and its projected allocations to AI, an official report from The White House has confirmed and expanded on those figures. The report opens with:

In a time of great power competition, President Trump’s FY 2021 Budget puts America in position to maintain its global leadership in science and technology for generations to come.

Among the highlights from the budget are a doubling of “R&D spending in nondefense artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum information science (QIS) by 2022,” which will result in “spending for AI R&D and interdisciplinary research institutes at the National Science Foundation to more than $830 million, which represents a more than 70 percent increase over the FY 2020 budget.”

Yesterday’s news did not have any projections for AI funding in Defense, but today’s official report provided the following outline:

In regards to Defense AI R&D, DARPA [Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency] is investing $459 million in AI R&D, an increase of $50 million from FY 2020, and the Department of Defense’s Joint AI Center is increasing its budget from $242 million in FY 2020 to $290 million in FY 2021.

VSBLTY software will be featured in the Intel booth, February 11-14, at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) show in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. ISE is a showcase for the industry's newest technologies and solutions that attracts more than 1,300 exhibitors and is attended by over 81,000 visitors. In addition to a live data dashboard, VSBLTY will demo an eight-foot gondola with header screens and shelf strips featuring a high impact retail promotion (Booth #8, C-210).

VSBLTY will also team with Sensormatic Solutions, the leading global retail solutions portfolio of Johnson Controls, at EuroShop, February 16-20 in Düsseldorf, Germany (Hall 6-C01).

Highlighted in the booth will be SYNERGY™ Loss Prevention Pedestals used by retailers worldwide at entrances and exits to protect inventory from theft. VSBLTY will demo their software on these pedestals, upgraded with video screens that retailers and brands will be able to utilize as a new advertising network. VSBLTY and Sensormatic also will demonstrate retail promotional display content including headers, shelf strips, vertical banners and tablets that produce high impact advertising, shopper analytics, as well as context-based security and loss prevention.

VSBLTY will also be featured in the LU-VE Group booth at EuroShop with their European partner, H-Ventures. The team will demonstrate a host of advanced technology including a "Magic Mirror"-designed for hotel bathrooms-that will display weather, news and advertising, as well as a "Fitness Mirror" for hotels that will show fitness-related content, activities and ads (Hall 1, B-37). Also, to be demonstrated are a traditional vending machine and cooler, both engineered to feature targeted video content on the front of the unit to attract and inform customers (Hall 17, C-21). One of the new and important safety features VSBLTY and H-Ventures will display is emergency two-way calling that enables an individual trapped in a disabled elevator to video chat with an emergency response person who will provide updates on the status of the rescue team.

#Defense #Stock News- A2Z Technologies Canada Corp. (TSXV: $AZ.V) Awarded $1.5M, Three-Year Contract with Israel’s Ministry of Defense; @A2Z_Advanced




Vancouver, BC, February 11, 2020 –(Investorideas.com Newswire, Homelanddefensestocks.comA2Z Technologies Canada Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") (TSXV: AZ) announced today that the Israeli Ministry of Defense (“MOD”) has awarded the Company a three-year contract for CAN $1.5 million that will be paid over the life of the contract.


Under the terms of the contract the Israeli MOD will be leasing A2Z’s products and equipment for which A2Z will be responsible for maintenance for the duration of the contract. The equipment will remain the property of A2Z throughout. At the end of the contract the company will be able to determine how to best position the assets going-forward. There is also significant potential for a new contract for the same services #following the end of the three-year contract period.

“We are extremely pleased to have been awarded this contract and the continued strength we are seeing in our technologies and service businesses. This contract is not only a significant source of recurring revenues for the next three years but also deepens our relationship with one of our most long-standing government partners. A2Z and the Israeli MOD have been working together for decades now, and with our new innovative FTICS technology, which we believe is "the next seatbelt" to make automobiles safer than ever, we look forward to continue protecting the lives of both military and civilian populations in future decades as well.” said Bentsur Joseph, CEO of A2Z.

Israel’s Ministry of Defense is the governmental department responsible for Israel’s security at the political, military, and civilian levels with their primary objective being to ensure the safety of Israel. The MOD also promotes research and development in security technologies and supports veterans and their families.

More on Israel’s Ministry of Defense:

About A2Z
A2Z Technologies Canada Corp. is an innovative technology company based out of Israel, specializing in military technology and expanding into the civilian markets. A2Z has been operating for over 30 years and has a client base with 75 recurring clients, including the Israel Defense Forces, Security Forces, and Ministry of Defence among others. A2Z plans to leverage their cash flow-generating core-business to expand into the civilian robotics and automobile markets.

According to Zion Market Research, the Military Robotics space is expected to reach $53.93B by 2027 for a projected CAGR of 13.5%.(Summary of Report)

Highlights:
Core Business: A2Z's line of products include unmanned remote-controlled vehicles of various sizes designed for intricate bomb disposal, counter terrorism, and fire fighting, as well as energy storage power packs/generators. A2Z also provides maintenance services to both external and in-house complex electronic systems and products to over 75 clients.

A2Z has been an Israel Ministry of Defense contractor for over 30 years and a significant portion of its business is long-term service contracts.

Expansion into Civilian Markets: To drive growth, A2Z plans to adapt its military technologies for the much larger civilian markets. One patent-pending product is a capsule (FTICS) that prevents vehicle fires resulting from collisions. A2Z has also been granted a patent for a smart vehicle cover device that protects automobiles from natural elements while the vehicle is parked and is stowed away safely in the vehicle's bumper when not in use.

Fuel Tank Inertia Containment System (FTICS): In the event of a collision, the FTICS installed into the fuel tank prevents the ignition of fuel, thereby mitigating the spread of fire and explosion, minimizing risk to human life and property damage. According to the NFPA, from 2014 to 2016, an estimated 171,500 highway vehicle fires occurred in the United States, resulting in an annual average of 345 deaths, 1,300 injuries, and $1.1 billion in property loss annually.

Management: CEO Bentsur Joseph's previous venture, Comfy Interactive, was acquired by Shamrock Holdings, the family investment firm founded by Roy Disney. Previously, Bentsur Joseph was the chairman of Elad Hotels whose holdings include the Plaza Hotel in New York City.  Bentsur Joseph has a ~64% ownership stake in the business with 30,000,000 shares subject to an escrow agreement.
